Fluorinated quinoid inhibitor: possible "pure" arylator predicted by the simple theoretical calculation

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Aug 2;14(15):4103-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.05.009.

Abstract

We report on the fluorinated form of Cpd 5 as a cell growth inhibitor. This compound is 3-fold more potent than the parent Cpd 5 and is predicted, using the semi-empirical AM1 method to be only an arylator of cysteine-containing proteins, without generating reactive oxygen species.
