Resumen
A new series of 3-aryl-4-(N-aryl)aminocoumarins was synthesized in two steps starting
from the natural product 4-hydroxycoumarin using the photoredox catalysis for the key
step. These conditions reactions allowed to make C-C bonds is up to 95% yields in mild
conditions, easy operation, in an environmentally benign way, and are compatible with
several patterns of substitution. The biological activity of the new compounds was tested
in vitro against MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and CCD-1072Sk cancer cell lines, as soon as to
promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis. Compounds
17d, 17s and 17x showed activity against promastigote forms (IC50 = 5.96 ± 3.210, 9.05
± 2.855 and 5.65 ± 2.078 μM respectively), and compound 17x presented the best activity
against L. amazonensis amastigote intracellular form (IC50 = 9.6 ± 1.148 μM), no BALB/c
peritoneal macrophage cytotoxicity at assayed concentrations (CC50 > 600 μM), and high
selectivity to parasites over the mammalian cells (Selectivity Index > 62.2). There was no
expressive activity for the cancer cell lines. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was
employed for structural elucidation of compounds 17a and 17s. In silico analyses of
physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological properties suggest that compound
17x is a potential candidate for anti-leishmaniasis drugs. 2023
