Abstract
The synthesis of a number of 1,4-bis(amino)anthracene-9,10-diones containing chlorine or sulfur which are related to the anti-cancer drugs Ametantrone and Mitoxantrone are reported. 1,4-Dichloro-2,3-dihydro-5,8-dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione reacts readily with a series of alkylamines to yield the corresponding 1,4-bis(alkylamino)-5,8-dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione after oxidation. The subsequent reaction of the products with ethanethiol or thiophenol gives the corresponding 1,4-bis(alkylamino)-5,8-bis(sulfanyl)anthracene-9,10-dione in good yield. Theoretical calculations at the RHF 6-31G** level indicate that the introduction of either chlorine or the phenylsulfanyl group into the 5- and 8-positions of 1,4-bis(alkylamino)anthracene-9,10-diones results in a lowering of the LUMO energies suggesting that related functionalised derivatives might have lower cardiotoxicities than Mitoxantrone.

Abstract
Diels-Alder cycloadditions of p-benzoquinone with 9R-(1-methoxyethyl)anthracene provides a 60:40 ratio of cycloadducts when heated at reflux in xylene. Mechanistic studies to explore the origins of this selectivity have shown that at lower temperatures the kinetic product predominates, giving a 96:4 ratio of cycloadducts.

Abstract
Chiral 9-oxazolidinyl anthracene derivatives have been prepared as single diastereoisomers by condensation of 9-anthraldehyde with the appropriate N-alkyl amino alcohol. Asymmetric Diels-Alder cycloadditions of these with N-methyl maleimide proceeds in good yield and in good diastereoselectivity, the sense of which may be controlled by judicious choice of the N-alkyl group.

Abstract
Isoxazolidinyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (isoxazolidinyl-PAHs) have been synthesized in good yields by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition methodology promoted by microwave irradiation. The structures of the obtained cycloadducts have been determined by NOE experiments and supported by computational studies at the AM1 level. The cytotoxicity and antiviral activity of the synthesized compounds have been investigated. In particular, compounds 7c and 7e show high levels of cytotoxicity on MOLT-3 leukemia cells; 7e exerts a remarkable enhancing activity on apoptosis caused by anti-fas antibody addition. Furthermore, compounds 7b and 8b exhibit specific antiviral effects against the Punta Toro virus.

Abstract
The reaction rate of the Diels-Alder reaction between N-ethylmaleimide and 9-hydroxymethylanthrance in CO2 + ethanol and CO2 + hexane mixed solvents of different compositions were determined by in situ UV/vis spectroscopy at 318.15 K and different pressures. The density of the mixed solvents at different pressures was also determined and the isothermal compressibility was calculated using the density data. The activation volume of the reaction was calculated based on the dependence of rate constant (kc) on pressure. It was demonstrated that the kc was very sensitive to the pressure in the mixed solvents near the critical region and the kc increased dramatically as pressure approached dew points, critical point, and bubble points of the mixed solvents. However, the kc in the mixed solvents outside the critical region or in pure CO2 was not sensitive to pressure. At suitable conditions, kc could be 40 times larger than that in acetonitrile. The activation volume of the reaction was nearly independent of pressure as the pressure was much higher than the phase separation pressure of the mixed solvents, while it increased considerably as pressure approached the bubble points, critical point, and dew points from high pressure. The clustering of the solvent molecules with the reactants and the activated complex in the reaction systems near the phase boundary in the critical region may be the main reason for the interesting phenomena observed. This work also shows that, using pure CO2 as the solvent, the reaction cannot be carried out in the critical region of the solvent due to the limitations of the reactants, while it can be conducted in the critical region of mixed solvents of suitable compositions, where the solvents are highly compressible and the reaction rate can be tuned effectively by pressure.

Abstract
This study investigates the self-assembly of simple aliphatic diamines with a dendritic peptide. By controlling the molar ratio of this two-component system, new nanoscale morphologies were generated. In the presence of relatively long aliphatic chains (C10, C12) a transition from nanoscale fibres to platelets was observed on changing the molar ratio, whereas, for shorter spacer chains (e.g., C9 and C8), interesting and unique morphological changes were observed by low voltage field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (SEM), with "nanosquares" or nanoscale "rosette" structures being formed. Remarkably, these discrete nanoscale structures were able to form sample-spanning networks capable of supporting a gel-phase material; whereas, most gels are usually based on fibrillar assemblies. In addition to SEM, the gels were characterised by using thermal measurements and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The length of the diamine spacer and the molar ratio of components controlled the self-assembly process by modifying the spatial organisation of the dendritic head groups at the molecular level, which is transcribed into the aspect ratio of the self-assembled state at the microscopic level. Ultimately, this led to diamine-induced control of the macroscopic material's behaviour. When present in excess, the diamine controlled the observed nanoscale morphology as a consequence of undergoing a dendritically controlled nanocrystallisation process to form a network, an unusual and significant result.

Abstract
[structure, reaction: see text] The U-shaped, multifunctionalized tetraetheno-bridged dicyclopenta[b,i]anthracenediol 10 was synthesized to serve as a platform molecule. The molecule was prepared from the Diels-Alder adduct 5a of tricycloundecatriene 3 and bicyclo[2.2.2]octene-fused p-benzoquinone 4. Functionalization of 10 to construct crab-like molecules was achieved via the base-promoted bis-O-alkylation of two endo-oriented hydroxyl groups at termini in 10 with the following alkyl halides: allyl, propagyl, and benzyl bromides; 1-bromo- and 1-iodo-4-(bromomethyl)benzene; 9-(bromomethyl)anthracene; 1-(bromomethyl)pyrene; and isomeric bromomethylpyridines. Single-crystal X-ray structures were obtained for bis-phenyl (21) and bis-pyrenyl (25) crabs, and for the silver(I) complex (32 and 33) crabs. The silver(I) complex 32 from bis-o-pyridyl crab 30 is a [2+2] dimeric dimetallocyclophane, and 33 from bis-m-pyridyl crab 29 is a [1+1] metallo-bridged cyclophane. The self-assembled intramolecular pi-stacking of pyrenyl rings in 25 with an interplanar distance of 3.40 A and the consequent pi-pi interactions were revealed by the X-ray crystal structure and its luminescence property.

Abstract
On the basis of the present knowledge of the substrate recognition site of ABC transporter proteins and inspired by the structures of verapamil and pervilleine A, a new class of Pgp-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) reverters has been designed and synthesized. The new compounds are flexible molecules carrying one or two basic nitrogen atoms flanked, at properly modulated distance, by two aromatic moieties. Most of the molecules studied possess MDR inhibitory activity on anthracycline-resistant erythroleukemia K 562 cells, showing a potency that is higher than that of the reference compound verapamil and, in a few cases (7, 12, 13,17, 20, 22, 28), is in the high nanomolar range. These compounds may be useful leads to develop new MDR reverting agents. In fact, the chemical structure of the class is fairly simple and can be implemented in a variety of ways that will allow the synthesis of new compounds that might be useful leads for the development of drugs to control Pgp-dependent MDR.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of an original series of oxoazabenzo[de]anthracenes conjugated to an amino acid: Ala, Phe, Pro, Lys, or Gly (4a-e, respectively). The compounds, derived from 1,8-dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione, were studied for DNA binding and cytotoxicity. Melting temperature, fluorescence quenching, and surface plasmon resonance methods all indicated that the lysine derivative 4d binds to DNA much more strongly that the Pro, Ala, and Gly conjugates whereas the Phe analogue showed the lowest DNA binding capacity. These compounds form intercalation complexes with DNA, as judged from electric linear dichroism and topoisomerase I-based DNA unwinding experiments. Preferential binding of 4d to defined sequences such as 5'-CTAAAGG and 5'-ATGC was evidenced by DNase I footprinting. This Lys conjugate was found to be over 20 times more cytotoxic to CEM human leukemia cells than the other conjugates, with an IC50 in the submicromolar range. A high antiproliferative activity, likely attributable to the enhanced DNA binding capacity, is maintained despite the incapacity of the compound to stabilize topoisomerase-DNA covalent complexes. The cell cycle effects of 4d consisted in an S phase accumulation of cells coupled with a pro-apoptotic action (appearance of hypodiploid sub-G1 cells) which were confirmed by measuring the inhibition of BrdU incorporation into DNA and labeling of phosphatidylserine residues with annexin V-FITC by means of flow cytometry. Altogether, the work provides interesting structure-activity relationships in the oxoazabenzo[de]anthracene-amino acid conjugate series and identifies the lysine derivative 4d as a promising candidate for further in vivo evaluation and drug design.

Abstract
Dihydromotuporamine C (4) and its 4,4-triamine analogue (5) were synthesized in good yield using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) methods. Comparison of their biological activities (Ki determinations in L1210 cells and IC50 determinations in L1210, CHO, and CHO-MG cells) revealed that the motuporamine derivatives do not use the polyamine transporter (PAT) for cellular entry. Bioevaluation of a N1-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)-N1-(ethyl)homospermidine control (7) revealed that the presence of a N1 tertiary amine center imparted a significant reduction in the PAT affinity of the polyamine conjugate and abolished its PAT-targeting selectivity.

Abstract
A combination of light, oxygen and a photosensitizer is used to induce death of cancer cells by photodynamic therapy. In this study, we have synthesized several new methyl helianthrone derivatives and compared their phototoxicity with that of hypericin. In contrast to hypericin, methyl helianthrones are soluble in aqueous solutions and have a broad range of light absorbance, which allows the use of polychromatic light. Structural modifications of methyl helianthrone demonstrated that substitution of hydrogen atoms of methyl helianthrone at Positions 2 and 5 with Br atoms or methylation of its phenolic hydroxyls, significantly increases the corresponding singlet oxygen quantum yield and their phototoxicity toward alphaT3-1, M2R and LNCaP cells. The phototoxicity of some of these compounds was similar to that of hypericin. Methyl helianthrones, like hypericin, accumulated mainly in the perinuclear region as evident by confocal microscopy. Irradiation of cells pretreated with methyl helianthrone derivatives generates intracellular reactive oxygen species and lipid free radicals, as shown by a fluorescentic probe and electron paramagnetic resonance methods, respectively. The phototoxicity of these methyl helianthrones as well as their ability to oxidize membrane lipids were significantly decreased on addition of specific Type-II inhibitors, suggesting the involvement of singlet oxygen as the main oxidant.

Abstract
Several N(1)-arylalkylpolyamines containing various aromatic ring systems were synthesized as their respective HCl salts. The N(1)-substituents evaluated ranged in size from N(1)-benzyl, N(1)-naphthalen-1-ylmethyl, N(1)-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethyl, N(1)-3-(naphthalen-1-yl)propyl, N(1)-anthracen-9-ylmethyl, N(1)-2-(anthracen-9-yl)ethyl, N(1)-3-(anthracen-9-yl)propyl, and pyren-1-ylmethyl. The polyamine architecture was also altered and ranged from diamine to triamine and tetraamine systems. Biological activities in L1210 (murine leukemia), Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), and CHO's polyamine transport-deficient mutant (CHO-MG) cell lines were investigated via IC(50) cytotoxicity determinations. K(i) values for spermidine uptake were also determined in L1210 cells. The size of the N(1)-arylalkyl substituent as well as the polyamine sequence used had direct bearing on the observed cytotoxicity profiles. N(1)-Tethers longer than ethylene showed dramatic loss of selectivity for the polyamine transporter (PAT) as shown in a CHO/CHO-MG cytotoxicity screen. In summary, there are clear limits to the size of N(1)-substituents, which can be accommodated by the polyamine transporter. A direct correlation was observed between polyamine-conjugate uptake and cytotoxicity. In this regard, a cytotoxicity model was proposed, which describes a hydrophobic pocket of set dimensions adjacent to the putative PAT polyamine-binding site.

Abstract
Spectroscopic and photophysical properties of a Kemp's tricarboxylic acid derivative having an anthracene chromophore (I) upon recognition of 9-butyladenine (BA) in chloroform were studied in detail. Molecular recognition of BA by I via hydrogen-bonding and pi-pi stacking interactions were sensed successfully on the basis of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies, by which the binding constant of the I:BA complex was determined to be 240 M(-1). The fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime of I in the absence of BA were 0.24 and 5.6 ns, respectively, while those in the presence of an enough amount of BA increased to 0.35 and 13 ns, respectively. These values demonstrated that the nonradiative decay rate constant of I decreased from 13.6 x 10(7) to 5.0 x 10(7) s(-1) upon binding with BA. Such changes in the photophysical properties of I before and after complexation with BA were discussed in terms of hydrogen-bonding and pi-pi stacking interactions between I and BA. In particular, intramolecular hydrogen-bonding between the amide and imide groups in was shown to play important roles in determining the photophysical characteristics of I before complexation, while intermolecular hydrogen-bonding between I and BA governed the excited-state properties of the I:BA complex. The change in the hydrodynamic diameter of I before and after complexation with BA was also discussed on the basis of the results by fluorescence dynamic anisotropy measurements.

Abstract
The photophysical behavior of two Os(II) complexes having a bipyridine ligand with anthracene attached directly to the bipyridine (4-(9-anthryl)-2,2'-bipyridine, bpy-AN) is reported. The two complexes [(bpy)2Os(bpy-AN)]2+ and [(bpy-AN)2Os(CO)Br]+ have (3)MLCT excited states that differ in energy by less than 800 cm(-1). Despite this fact, the observed photophysical behavior of the two complexes is entirely different. The complex with the higher energy 3MCLT state, [(bpy-AN)2Os(CO)Br]+, is nonemissive at room temperature, but has a long lived excited state that is localized on the 3(pi-pi*) state of the anthracene substituent. The other complex, [(bpy)2Os(bpy-AN)]2+, exhibits emission at room temperature and has a transient absorption spectrum that is consistent with a localized 3MLCT state. The excited state decay behavior of the two complexes can be fit well assuming a model in which noninteracting 3MLCT and 3(pi-pi*) states are in equilibrium.

Abstract
Fifteen compounds of 10-substituted benzylidene anthrone were prepared with moderate yield by reaction of anthrone and substituted benzaldehydes under the presence of pyridine and piperidine as catalyst. Their antitumor activities in vitro were evaluated. The results show that the electron-withdrawing substitutes decrease the activities, the electron-donor substitutes increase the activities; the compound with substitute at ortho or para position has stronger activities than that of compound with the same substitute but located at the meta position. There are six compounds which appear as strong effective inhibition for A-549 cancer cell growth. This is a kind of good leading compound which is worth researching further.

Abstract
Compounds based on the 4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) framework are excellent fluorescent markers. When BODIPY dyes of this type are conjugated to functionalities that absorb at relatively short wavelengths, those functionalities can, in some molecules, transmit the absorbed energy to the BODIPY which then fluoresces. In such cases the BODIPY fragment acts as an acceptor while the other group serves as a donor. Energy transfer efficiencies in such donor-acceptor cassette systems must vary with the relative orientation of the two components, and with the structure of the linkers that attach them. This study was designed to probe these issues for the special case in which the linkers between the donor and acceptor fragments are conjugated. To do this, the cassettes 3-10 were prepared. Electrochemical studies were performed to provide insight into the degree of donor-acceptor conjugation in these systems. X-ray Crystallographic studies on single crystals of compounds 7 and 9 revealed the favored conformations of the donor and acceptor fragments in the solid state. Absorption, fluorescence, and time-resolved fluorescence spectra of the compounds were recorded, and quantum yields for the cassettes excited at the donor lambda(max) were measured. Fluorescence steady-state anisotropy data were determined for cassettes 3 and 9 to provide information about the mutual direction of the transition dipole moments.

Abstract
The total synthesis of racemic rishirilide B has been accomplished. The synthesis serves to define the relative relationships of its stereogenic centers. Also, starting with readily available chiral pool, ent-rishirilide B was synthesized, thereby demonstrating that natural configuration of rishirilide B. The defining step in our total synthesis is the facile cycloreversion of the bis(siloxy)benzocyclobutane and the intermolecular o-quinodimethide Diels-Alder cycloaddition. We believe that the tight regiochemical guidance in this step arises from a meshing of the electron-donating effects of the symmetry-perturbing aromatic OTBS group of the o-quinodimethide diene with the reactivity differential of the dienophile (enedione), modulated by the hydroxyl group at the alpha-position. The validity of the hypothesis of hydroxy-directed activation of its vicinal ketone function in the context of the enedione dienophile warrants further study. This type of activation may find broader applications in distinguishing reactivity profiles of key closely related functional groups in organic substrates.

Abstract
A novel series of 10-benzylidene-9(10H)-anthracenones and 10-(phenylmethyl)-9(10H)-anthracenones were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity in an assay based on K562 leukemia cells. The 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene analogue 9h was found to be the most active compound (IC(50) K562: 20 nM). Structure-activity relationships are also considered. The highly active compound 9h and the 2,4-dimethoxy-3-hydroxybenzylidene analogue 9l were tested against five tumor cell lines using the XTT assay, including multidrug resistant phenotypes. Induction of cell death in a variety of tumor cell lines was determined in a monolayer assay using propidium iodide. Noteworthy, all compounds within the series induced elongations in K562 cells similar to vinblastine-treated cells. The effect of the lead compound 9h on K562 cell growth was associated with cell cycle arrest in G2/M. Concentrations for 50% KB/HeLa cells arrested in G2/M after treatment with 9h and 9l were determined and found to be in the range of 0.2 microM. Additionally, we monitored the dose dependent caspase-3-like protease activity in K562 cells and MCF-7/Casp-3 cells treated with 9h, indicating induction of apoptosis. Western blotting analysis demonstrated that 9h caused a shift in tubulin concentration from the polymerized state found in the cell pellet to the unpolymerized state found in the cell supernatant. Seven compounds strongly inhibited tubulin polymerization with activities higher or comparable to those of the reference compounds such as colchicine, podophyllotoxin, and nocodazole. In general, the antiproliferative activity correlated with inhibition of tubulin polymerization. The most active compounds strongly displaced [(3)H]colchicine from its binding site in the tubulin, yielding IC(50) values 3- to 4-fold lower than that of colchicine. The novel benzylidene-9(10H)-anthracenones described in the present study constitute an interesting group of highly active and easily accessible antimitotic agents that inhibit tubulin polymerization.

Abstract
An efficient modular synthesis of N(1)-substituted triamines containing different tether lengths between nitrogen centers was developed. A series of N(1)-(9-anthracenylmethyl)triamines were evaluated for biological activity in L1210 (murine leukemia), alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO)-treated L1210, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), and CHO-MG cell lines. All triamines 8 had increased potency in DFMO-treated L1210 cells. The 4,4- and 5,4-triamine systems had the highest affinity for the polyamine transporter (PAT) with L1210 K(i) values of 1.8 and 1.7 microM, respectively. This trend was also reflected in the CHO studies. Surprisingly, the respective 4,4- and 5,4-triamine systems had 150-fold and 38-fold higher cytotoxicity in CHO cells containing active polyamine transporters. Initial microscopy studies revealed the rapid formation of vesicular structures within A375 melanoma cells treated with the N(1)-(9-anthracenylmethyl)homospermidine (4,4-triamine) conjugate. In summary, the 4,4- and 5,4-triamines were identified as selective vector motifs to ferry anthracene into cells via the PAT.

Abstract
A series of nine N(1)-(9-anthracenylmethyl)tetraamines (e.g., Ant-4,4,4-tetraamine) were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity in L1210, alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO)-treated L1210, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), and CHO-MG cell lines. Surprisingly, the 3,3,4- and 3,4,3-tetraamine motifs had the same or decreased cytotoxicity in DFMO-treated L1210 cells, whereas the rest of the tetraamine systems were usually more cytotoxic and gave lower IC(50) values in this treated cell line. The most sensitive derivatives to DFMO treatment were the Ant-4,4,3- and Ant-4,4,4-tetraamine analogues, which were 7 and 5 times more cytotoxic in DFMO-treated L1210 cells, respectively. K(i) values for each of the anthracenylmethyl(Ant)-polyamine conjugates were determined in L1210 cells and revealed that these systems are high-affinity ligands for the polyamine transporter (PAT). Mixed results were observed in the CHO and CHO-MG assays. The 4,4,4- and 5,4,4-tetraamine motifs were 3 times more toxic to CHO cells with active polyamine transporters. For example, the Ant-4,4,4-tetraamine conjugate displayed IC(50) values of 11 microM in CHO cells and 33 microM in CHO-MG cells, a PAT-deficient cell line. This suggested that these derivatives used the PAT in part to access cells. However, most of the other tetraamine derivatives had similar potencies in both the CHO and CHO-MG cell lines. In terms of vector design, higher affinity for the PAT (lower K(i) values) did not translate into higher potency for the tetraamine conjugate. In contrast, the related triamine systems, which had micromolar K(i) values in L1210 cells, were more efficacious and selective. In one case, the 4,4-triamine motif imparted 150-fold higher potency in CHO cells than the CHO-MG mutant. A deconvolution microscopy study in A375 melanoma cells revealed a rapid internalization of the Ant-4,4-triamine as fluorescent vesicles, whereas the Ant-4,4,4-tetraamine remained mostly at the cell surface. These findings help define the key characteristics required for selective delivery of polyamine-drug conjugates into cell types with active polyamine transporters.

Abstract
A range of new functionalised 9,10-bis(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-9,10-dihydroanthracene (TTFAQ) derivatives have been synthesised from the key di(halomethyl) building blocks, 10-[4,5-bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene]-anthracene-9(10H)-one 10, 10-[4,5-bis(chloromethyl)-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene]anthracene-9(10H)-one 11 and 9-[4,5-bis(chloromethyl)-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene]-10-[4,5-bis(hexylsulfanyl)- 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene]-9,10-dihydroanthracene 18. A Diels-Alder strategy comprising trapping of the transient exocyclic diene 19, which is derived from 18, with 1,4-naphthoquinone leads to the aromatised TTFAQ anthraquinone system 21. Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of 21 with the anion generated from reagent 22 gave the fused bis(TTFAQ) structure 23. Pyrrolo-annelated derivatives 30-34 have been obtained in a sequence of reactions from compound 10. Mono-formylation of the pyrrole ring of 32 and 33 under Vilsmeier conditions gave 35 and 36 which upon reaction with 2,4,5,7-tetranitrofluorene gave the donor-pi-acceptor diads 38 and 39. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) in solution for all the TTFAQ derivatives shows the typical quasi-reversible two-electron oxidation wave of the TTFAQ core at potentials which vary slightly depending on the substituents. For example, the value of Eox is raised by the electron withdrawing anthraquinone and tetranitrofluorene units of 21 and 38, respectively. The CV of the conjugated TTFAQ dimer 23 showed two, two-electron oxidation waves corresponding to the sequential formation of 23(2+) and 23(4+) (delta Eox = 130 mV) providing evidence for a significant intramolecular electronic interaction, i.e. the dication 23(2+) acts as a conjugated donor-pi-acceptor diad, thereby raising the oxidation potential of its partner TTFAQ unit. Spectroelectrochemical studies on 23 support this explanation. A strong intramolecular charge transfer band at lambda max 538 nm is seen in the UV-Vis spectra of the TTFAQ-pi-tetranitrofluorene diads 38 and 39. The X-ray crystal structures are reported for compounds 30, 33 and 34. The pyrrolo-TTFAQ moiety adopts a saddle-shape with the central ring of the dihydroanthracene moiety folded along the C(9) ... C(10) vector in each case. Significant intermolecular interactions are observed in the structures.

Abstract
A carboxyethylester-polyrotaxane was synthesized as a novel calcium chelating polymer in the field of oral drug delivery and characterized in terms of mechanism of trypsin inhibition. Here, carboxyethylester (CEE) groups are introduced to all the primary hydroxyl groups in alpha-cyclodextrins (alpha-CDs), which are threaded onto a poly(ethylene glycol) chain capped with bulky end-groups (polyrotaxane). The solubility of the CEE-polyrotaxane in physiological conditions increased with pH, indicating ionization-related solubility similar to conventional polyacrylates. The ability of calcium (Ca2+) chelation was found to increase in the order of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)>CEE-polyrotaxanez.Gt;CEE-alpha-CD, suggesting that the increased density of carboxyl groups enhances the Ca2+ chelating ability. The activity of trypsin was inhibited by these compounds in the same order of the calcium chelation. However, the inhibitory effect of CEE-polyrotaxane was reduced by adding excess Ca2+ without precipitation that was observed in the presence of PAA. Such the reduced inhibition and precipitation by CEE-alpha-CD was not observed. Therefore, the inhibitory effect of CEE-polyrotaxane is due to Ca2+ chelation from trypsin without non-specific interaction.

Abstract
The new water-soluble photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3,4-bis(carboxymethyleneoxy)phenyl]chlorin (T3,4BCPC) has been prepared, characterized and labeled with 99mTc radionuclide. The radiotracer was evaluated for tissue distribution in Wistar rats. Accumulation of administrated activities in the liver, kidney, bladder and large intestine at 4 h post-injection indicated that the labeled ligand was largely eliminated through the renal and partly through the hepatobiliary system. In vivo biodistribution studies of the labeled compound were carried out in rodent and murine tumor models in comparison with other tumor-seeking radiopharmaceuticals such as 99mTc(V)-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), 201thallous chloride (TlCl) and 99mTc-citrate using a gamma camera computer system. In N-nitrosomethylurea (NMU)-induced rat mammary tumors, the labeled ligand showed a five-fold tumor to muscle (T/M) ratio compared to 99mTc(V)-DMSA (3-fold) and 201TlCl (3-fold). In the case of C(3)H/J virus-induced spontaneous mammary tumors, the differences were not marked. However, in the transplanted rat C(6)-glioma, the T/M ratio of the labeled compound was appreciably higher (four-fold) than that noted with 99mTc(V)-DMSA (two-fold), 201TlCl (three-fold) and 99mTc-citrate (more than three-fold). These findings suggest that the radiolabeled T3,4BCPC may have potential for the detection of cancer. In order to ascertain the efficacy of the compound for photodynamic therapy applications, a preclinical PDT study was carried out in fibrosarcoma-bearing mice after injecting 5.0 mg/kg body weight of the T3,4BCPC. A laser dose of 20 mW for 60 s resulted in 80% destruction of tumors. These data suggest that this molecule could be useful for PDT of cancer. The labeled agent could also be useful in monitoring the progression/regression of tumors before, during, and after chemotherapy, radiation therapy or PDT.

Abstract
To suggest a mechanism of action for drugs capable to reverse the chloroquine resistance, a new set of 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethano and ethenoanthracene derivatives was synthesized and compounds were tested with the aim to assess their effect on chloroquine susceptibility in Plasmodium falciparum resistant strains. With respect to this, reversal of resistance and change in drug accumulation were compared. Structure-activity relationship and molecular modeling studies made it possible to define a pharmacophoric moiety for reversal agents and to propose a putative model of interaction with some selected amino acids.

Abstract
Previously, we reported on PD 102807 (41) as being the most selective synthetic M(4) muscarinic antagonist identified to date. Synthesized analogues of 41 showed no improvement in affinity and selectivity at that time. However, several newly synthesized compounds exhibit a 7-fold higher affinity at M(4) receptors and demonstrate a selectivity of at least 100-fold over all other muscarinic receptor subtypes. For example, compound 28 showed an affinity of pK(i) = 9.00 at M(4) receptors and a selectivity of M(1)/M(4) = 13 183-fold, M(2)/M(4) = 339-fold, M(3)/M(4) = 151-fold, and M(5)/M(4) = 11 220-fold. This high selectivity along with high affinity has not been reported for any synthetic muscarinic antagonist, nor for natural occurring M(4) antagonists such as the M(4) selective Eastern Green Mamba venom MT3 (M(4) pK(b) = 8.7, M(1)/M(4) = 40-fold, M(2)/M(4) > or = 500-fold, M(3)/M(4) > or = 500-fold, and M(5)/M(4) > or = 500-fold). Derivative 24, a compound with a high selectivity pattern as well, has been tested for in vivo efficacy. It was able to block the L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine accumulation produced by CI-1017, an M(1)/M(4) selective muscarinic agonist, in the mesolimbic region and striatum, which suggests that 24 is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and confirms the pharmacokinetic data obtained on this compound. This is evidence that suggests that agonist-induced increase in catecholamine synthesis observed in these regions is mediated by M(4) receptors.

Abstract
The first fluorescent chemosensors toward a native phosphorylated peptide are successfully synthesized. Dinuclear zinc(II)-dipicolylamine-based anthracene (1, 2) can selectively recognize and sense phosphorylated species with an increase in the fluorescence intensity. We also demonstrated that these artificial receptors fluorometrically detect a phosphorylated peptide with high affinity (>107 M-1) in aqueous solution.

Abstract
With the exception of its two aromatic rings and basic nitrogen atom, 9-(aminomethyl)-9,10-dihydroanthracene (AMDA; 1) is remarkably devoid of the pharmacophore features usually associated with high-affinity receptor ligands such as the heteroatom hydrogen bonding features of the endogenous ligand serotonin. AMDA does contain a phenylethylamine skeleton within a tricyclic ring system, and the presence of the second aromatic group is necessary for optimal receptor affinity. The structural requirements for the binding of AMDA at 5-HT(2A) receptors were investigated with respect to the geometric relationship between the two aromatic rings. It appears that the geometry of the AMDA parent is in the optimal range for fold angle between aromatic moieties. Evaluation of conformationally constrained derivatives of AMDA suggests that a chain extended trans, gauche form is most likely responsible for high affinity.

Abstract
The fluorescence chemosensor ATMCA has been realised by appending an anthrylmethyl group to an amino nitrogen of TMCA (2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-trimethoxycyclohexane), a tripodal ligand selective for divalent first-row transition metal ions in water. The ATMCA ligand can act as a versatile sensor for ZnII and CuII ions. Its sensing ability can be switched by simply tuning the operating conditions. At pH 5, ATMCA detects copper(II) ions in aqueous solutions by the complexation-induced quenching of the anthracene emission. Metal ion concentrations < 1 microM can be readily detected and very little interference is exerted by other metal ions. At pH 7, ATMCA signals the presence of ZnII ions at concentrations < 1 microM by a complexation-induced enhancement of the fluorescence. Again the sensor is selective for ZnII over several divalent metal ions, with the exception of CuII, CoII and HgII. Most interestingly, the [ZnII(atmca)]2+ complex can act as a fluorescence sensor for specific organic species, notably selected dicarboxylic acids and nucleotides, by the formation of ternary ligand/zinc/substrate complexes. The oxalate anion is detected in concentrations <0.1 mM; however, no effects on the system's fluorescence is observed in the presence of monocarboxylic acids and long-chain dicarboxylic acids. Among the nucleotides, those containing an imide or amide function are readily detected and an unprecedented high sensitivity for guanine derivatives allows the determination of this nucleotide for 0.05-0.5 mM solutions. Moreover, [ZnII(atmca)]2+ is a very effective and selective sensor in the case of vitamin B13 (orotic acid) in sub-micromolar concentrations. The operative features of the systems investigated are also clearly suitable for intracellular analyses. The factors at the source of organic substrate recognition, here briefly discussed, are of paramount importance for further developments in the applicability of these sensing systems.

Abstract
A series of 2-arylalkyl-substituted anthracenones were tested as inhibitors of three types of 12-lipoxygenase isoforms in epidermal homogenate of mice, bovine platelets and porcine leukocytes. Their inhibitory activities were compared with those to inhibit the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme in bovine leukocytes. The compounds were synthesised by Marschalk, Wittig or Horner-Emmons reaction at the anthracenedione stage and then reduced to the anthracenones. Structure-activity relationship for the chain linking the anthracenone nucleus and the phenyl ring terminus was investigated. The 2-phenylethyl analogues were among the most potent inhibitors, and 3,4-dimethoxy-substituted 10f was identified as a selective inhibitor of the 12-LO enzymes over 5-LO. Selectivity for 12-LO isoforms was observed with an increase in the overall lipophilicity of the inhibitors. However, none of the linker chains of the 2-substituted anthracenones provided inhibitors that were able to discriminate between the 12-LO isoforms.

Abstract
9-Alkoxy-1,5-dichloroanthracenes were successfully prepared. Their cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro on rat glioma C6 cell lines and human hepatoma G2 cell lines, respectively. Alkylation of 1,5-dichloro-9(10H)-anthracenone with either the appropriate alcohols or alkyl chlorides in the presence of sulfuric acid or sodium hydride, respectively, furnished this structural class of anthracenes. Contrary to mitoxantrone, cytotoxic properties were observed as documented by the reactivity of the novel compounds and potent in vitro activity against C6 cells and hep G2 cells over a wide range of structural variants. Among these compounds, 5c, 5h, 5l and 5n are potent cytotoxins. They inhibit C6 cell growth in culture, indicated by using 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide sodium salt (XTT) colorimetric assay. By using this assay it was also shown that 5c, 5d and 5l possess potent cytotoxicity on hep G2 cells. The most active compound displaying in vitro cytotoxicity was the 9-butoxy derivative 5h with IC50 values 0.02 microM against C6 cells, as compared with mitoxantrone with IC50 values 0.07 microM. The most active compound displaying in vitro cytotoxicity against hep G2 cells was 5c with IC50 values 1.7 microM (mitoxantrone: 0.8 microM). Structure-activity relationships (SAR) of these compounds with respect to the nature of the alkoxy substitution in the 9 position are discussed for both cell lines.

Abstract
An efficient five-step synthetic method was developed to access a series of spermine derivatives containing appended acridine, anthracene, and 7-chloroquinoline motifs. The derivatives were composed of a spermine fragment covalently tethered at its N4 and N9 positions to an aromatic nucleus via an aliphatic chain (e.g., 8: acridine -[C4 aliphatic tether]-spermine-[C4 aliphatic tether]-acridine). The distance separating the spermine and aromatic nuclei was altered via different tethers composed of four or five methylene units. These bis ligands (8, 9, 12, and 13) were shown to inhibit human DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) activity at 5 microM. Enzymatic activity was assessed as the ability to unknot (decatenate) and cleave kinetoplast DNA (kDNA). Polyamine conjugation did not disrupt the ability of the acridine-spermine conjugates 8 and 9 to inhibit topo II activity as compared with the 9-aminoacridine and 9-(N-butyl)aminoacridine controls (at 5 microM). The parent polyamines, spermine (5 microM) and spermidine (10 microM), had little effect on topo II activity. In general, the bis-substituted spermine derivatives (8, 9, 12, and 13) were more efficient topo II inhibitors at 5 microM than their monosubstituted spermidine counterparts (22-25) at 10 microM. Within the bisintercalator spermine series, insertion of an additional methylene unit (i.e., C5 tethers) increased potency 2-fold (8, bis-C4-acridine, 47 h IC(50) = 40 microM; 9, bis-C5-acridine, IC(50) = 17 microM). Comparison of the bis- and monoacridine spermine motifs (8 and 17) revealed a 4-fold increase in potency for the latter architecture (94 h IC(50) for 8, 74 microM; for 17, 17 microM). In general the bisintercalators (8, 9, 12, and 13) behaved as cytostatic agents, while the monosubstituted acridine and anthracene derivatives (22-25) were cytotoxic. Anthracene-containing conjugates were generally more toxic than their acridine counterparts in an L1210 (murine leukemia) cell assay. Of the conjugates tested the (monointercalator)-spermine motif (e.g., 17) had the highest affinity for the L1210 polyamine transporter as revealed by spermidine protection experiments.

Abstract
[structure: see text]. A new fluorescent chemosensor for Cu2+ ions was synthesized by modifying the tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine (GHK) with 9-carbonylanthracene via the standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis method. While significant fluorescence quenching was observed from the molecule upon binding with Cu2+, addition of Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ to the peptide solution caused a minimum fluorescence emission spectral change, indicating a high specificity of this chemosensor for Cu2+ ions. Effects of pH were also investigated.

Abstract
The synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of 9-acyloxy 1,8-dichloroanthracene derivatives are described. The system selectively reduces the carbonyl group flanked by the peri substituents of the anthracenediones to give the corresponding 1,8-dichloro-9(10H)-anthracenone. Simple acylation of anthracenone occurred with appropriate acyl chlorides in CH2Cl2 with a catalytic amount of pyridine to give the 9-acyloxy-1,8-dichloroanthracene derivatives. Considerable interest has developed in the mechanism of how anthracenones achieve this desirable selectivity. These compounds were evaluated in vitro for their ability to inhibit the growth of human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells (KB cell line), human cervical carcinoma cells of ME 180 (GBM 8401) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, respectively, as compared to mitoxantrone. The in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of 9-acyloxy 1,8-dichloroanthracenes against these above cell lines revealed for most of the compounds a cytotoxic potency lower than that of mitoxantrone. The most active compounds were thus selected for further in vitro biological evaluation and structural modification.

Abstract
The synthesis of a series of 1,5-dichloro-9(10H)-anthracenones bearing O-linked and N-linked substituents in the 10-position are described. Previous studies have shown that 9-acyloxy 1,5-dichloroanthracenes and 9-acyloxy 1,8-dichloroanthracenes displayed a potential cytotoxic effect. These results have encouraged us in further investigation of potential anthracenone derivatives. Therefore, a series of 10-substituted 1,8-dichloro-9(10H)-anthracenone derivatives were synthesized. These compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells (KB cell line), human cervical carcinoma cells of ME 180 (GBM 8401) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, respectively. Compounds 3c and 4c of this series compare favorably in the KB cellular assay with mitoxantrone. Compound 4c showed combined inhibitory action against KB, GBM and CHO cell growth, respectively. In addition, redox property of the compounds for the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in model membranes was determined. Compounds 4b and 4d exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than ascorbic acid, (+)-alpha-tocopherol and mitoxantrone, respectively.

Abstract
ATP gamma-amides containing in gamma-N-position 1-methylpyrene, 9-methylanthracene, 10-chloro-9-methylanthracene, and 3-methylperylene residues were synthesized and characterized. These compounds were used as sensitizers of site-specific photomodification of the reconstituted elongating complex of the mammalian DNA polymerase beta. The photomodification was carried out with the use of photoaffine reagents, which were synthesized in situ by the 5'-(32)P-labeled primers extension with photoactive analogues of dCTP containing in the exo-N-position of cytosine various perfluoroarylazide groups. The effect of structures of the sensitizers and photoactive reagents on the efficiency and selectivity of photolinking of primers to the enzyme and template, as well as formation of a number of other photomodification products was studied. It was shown that the sensitizers containing 10-chloro-9-methylanthracene and 3-methylperylene residues allow preparation of photolinks in such irradiation conditions when photomodification in their absence is not essentially observed.

Abstract
A series of 2-arylmethyl-substituted anthracenones were synthesized and tested as inhibitors of three types of 12-lipoxygenase isoforms in epidermal homogenate of mice, bovine platelets and porcine leucocytes. Their inhibitory activities were compared with those to inhibit the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme in bovine leucocytes. Structure-activity relationships are described with particular emphasis on modifications of the terminal aryl nucleus. The ability of the compounds to selectively inhibit the 12-lipoxygenase enzymes was dependent on a high overall lipophilicity of the inhibitor, whereas compounds with decreased lipophilicity were also inhibitors of the 5-LO enzyme. Among the more lipophilic inhibitors, the unsubstituted 2-phenylmethyl analogue 6a as well as the carboxylic acid ester 6q appeared to be selective inhibitors of platelet-type 12-LO isoform.

Abstract
The synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of a series of novel 10-arylacetyl-1,8-dihydroxy-9(10H)-anthracenones are described. Acylation of anthralin with either the appropriate arylacetyl chlorides or arylacetic acids in the presence of pyridine or via the coupling agent dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), respectively, furnished this structural class of antipsoriatic agents. Potential antipsoriatic activity was evaluated in complementary assays specifically addressed to three important aspects of psoriasis. First, several compounds were identified which are equally potent as inhibitors of human keratinocyte growth as the antipsoriatic agent anthralin. Furthermore, improved ratio of antiproliferative activity to cytotoxicity is demonstrated by the reduced potential of the novel analogues to induce membrane damage, which is a benefit of their reduced ability to generate oxygen radicals as documented by deoxyribose degradation. Second, analogue 3o bearing a hydroxamate functional group was also a highly potent inhibitor of LTB(4) biosynthesis in addition to its excellent antiproliferative activity. SARs of these inhibitors of both keratinocyte growth and LTB(4) biosynthesis with respect to the nature of the para-substitution in the 10-phenylacetyl side chain are discussed. Third, the compounds were also evaluated for their ability to induce the formation of cornified envelope protein in keratinocytes. Cross-linking of cellular protein as a marker of terminal differentiation of keratinocytes was observed for many 10-arylacetyl analogues at concentrations required to arrest cell growth. This newly uncovered activity of the novel anthracenones suggests antipsoriatic potential with respect to disturbance of keratinocyte differentiation, in addition to hyperproliferative and inflammatory aspects of psoriasis.

Abstract
A recent observation that phenylbutyryl anthracenone 2, an analogue of the antipsoriatic anthralin, is a potent inhibitor of leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) biosynthesis has prompted a search of other anthracenones with improved antiproliferative activity. In that direction, a limited number of analogues related to 2 have been prepared and evaluated in the HaCaT keratinocytes proliferation and in the polymorphonuclear leukocyte LTB(4) assay. The 4-methoxy analogue 2a and the side chain methylated 2l retain the full inhibitory activity of 1 against LTB(4) biosynthesis while their antiproliferative activity is markedly enhanced and comparable to that of the antipsoriatic anthralin. In contrast to anthralin, cytotoxic effects against cell membranes are strongly reduced as documented by the LDH activity released from cytoplasm of keratinocytes.
