Abstract:A series of novel acenaphthopyrazine derivatives was synthesized from acenaphthylene-1,2-dione via three steps, including bromination, cyclization, and SNArH reaction. These new compounds exhibited potential antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells in vitro, and 3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethylamino]acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrazine-8,9-dicarbonitrile exhibited the highest activity (IC (50) = 4.60 mu M). DNA-binding experiments suggested that these derivatives bind to DNA through intercalation with intrinsic binding constants K all above 10(5) M-1. Optical property studies indicated that these compounds have long emission wavelength (lambda (em) > 560 nm), high quantum yields in toluene (I broken vertical bar(f) = 0.59 for 3-(morpholin-4-yl)acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrazine-8,9-dicarbonitrile), and large Stokes shift (Delta S > 130 nm).
