Antiproliferative in Vitro Evaluation of Terpenic Amines Synthesized via a Rhodium‐catalyzed Hydroaminomethylation
Résumé
Terpene‐derived alkaloids show a variety of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial and cytotoxicity effects. In this work, homologated monoterpene amines have been prepared via a rhodium‐catalyzed hydroaminomethylation of biomass‐based alkenes, such as (R)‐limonene, linalool, myrcene and camphene, in combination with secondary amines of aliphatic and aromatic nature, namely morpholine and N‐methylaniline, leading to highly chemo‐ and regioselective processes. The as‐prepared amines were obtained in 50‐99% overall yields, and in vitro tested on a human colon cancer cell line (HCT‐116) to evaluate their cytotoxic potential. The lead compound of the series (3a) showed cytotoxicity in the micromolar range (IC50 52.46 µM) via the induction of cell death by apoptosis, paving the way towards further structure‐activity relationship studies.
