R. Wolin et al., SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF PYRAZOLO [3,4-B]QUINOLINE RIBOFURANOSIDESAND THEIR DERIVATIVES AS INHIBITORS OF ONCOGENIC RAS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(2), 1996, pp. 195-200
A series of pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline ribofuranosides were prepared usi
ng the glycosylation methodology of Vorbruggen. Oxidative cleavage of
the ribose moiety in 6 furnished the dialdehyde intermediate 36, which
cyclizes upon reductive amination providing the morpholino compound 3
7. Derivatives from both the ribose and morpholino series were evaluat
ed for their ability to inhibit the nucleotide exchange process of onc
ogenic Ras.(1a)
