The present disclosure relates to the fields of medicinal chemistry. Specifically, it relates to methods for synthesizing N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzamide compounds and intermediates thereof.
Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death and an essential biological process of tissue homeostasis. In mammals, it has been demonstrated that early embryonic development can be modulated by apoptosis. In the later stages of life, cell death is a default mechanism by which potentially dangerous cells, such as those carrying cancer defects, are removed. Several apoptotic pathways are known. One of the most important apoptotic pathways relates to the Bcl-2 protein family, which is a key regulator of the apoptotic mitochondria (also known as ‘intrinsic’) pathway.
Dysregulated apoptosis pathways involve the pathology of many important diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders (up-regulated apoptosis), e.g., Alzheimer's disease; and proliferative diseases (down-regulated apoptosis), e.g., cancers, autoimmune diseases and prothrombotic disorders. Down-regulated apoptosis (more specifically, the Bcl-2 protein family) can participate in the onset of cancerous malignancies. Studies have shown that, for example, anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL overexpress down-regulated apoptosis in many cancer cells types (more specifically, the Bcl-2 protein family), which can participate in the onset of cancerous malignancies. Studies have shown that, for example, anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL are overexpressed in many cancer cells types. The survival of cancer cells is attributed to the dysregulation of the apoptotic pathway caused by the overexpression of one or more anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein family members. In view of the important role of the Bcl-2 protein family in the regulation of cancer cells and normal cells (i.e. non-cancer cells) apoptosis, as well as the recognized inter-cell type variability of Bcl-2 family protein expression, thus, it is beneficial as small molecule inhibitors that selectively target and preferably bind to one type or a part of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, for example, bind to anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members that are overexpressed in a certain cancer type.
It has been reported that N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzamide compounds are effective Bcl-2 inhibitors, and one of which has the following structural formula:
