A terminal unsaturated lactone or its equivalent is commonly believed to be essential for the cytotoxicity of natural annonaceous acetogenins and their artificial mimetics. In this work, we discovered a series of new cytotoxic ethylene glycol ether-containing mimetics, in which a variety of simple aliphatic nitrogen-heterocycles were introduced to replace the lactone terminal of AA005 (1), a representative bioactive polyether mimic identified from our previous research, for the first time. Among these, mimic 4 bearing a terminal piperazine was found to be the most potent compound against the proliferation of three cancer cells. Based on our new findings, a fluorescent probe 7 was also developed and successfully applied to the imaging of cancer cells. This work provides a new strategy for developing simpler cytotoxic mimetics of natural annonaceous acetogenins and molecular tools for biological imaging. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
