title: Microwave expedited synthesis of 5-aminocamptothecin analogs: Inhibitors of hypoxia inducible factor HIF-1alpha.
abstract: A series of 5-aminosubstituted camptothecin analogs were prepared from the corresponding 5-hydroxycamptothecin using microwave irradiation. The analogs were assayed for ability to inhibit the action of hypoxia inducible factors (HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha). The 5-fluoroethyl analog showed potent inhibitory activity and is now the focus of ongoing pathway analysis and potential as an antiproliferative agent.
