First total synthesis of protoapigenone and its analogues as potent cytotoxic agents.

ABSTRACT: Protoapigenone (1), isolated from Thelypteris torresiana, previously showed significant cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines. In a continued structure-activity relationship study, the first total synthesis and modification of 1 were achieved. All synthesized compounds and related intermediates were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines, HepG2, Hep3B, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and A549. Among them, 24 showed 2.2-14.2-fold greater cytotoxicity than 1 and naphthyl A-ring analogues remarkably enhanced the activity.

Design and Synthesis of Novel Dehydroepiandrosterone Analogues as Potent Antiproliferative Agents.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to determine the cytotoxic effects of a series of novel dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives containing triazole at the C16 position on human cancer cells. The cancer cells used in the present study were A549, Hela, HepG-2, BEL7402, MCF-7, and HCT116. Several of the synthesised compounds exhibited potent antiproliferative effects. The most promising compound was (E)-3-hydroxy-16-((1-(4-iodophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl)methylene)-10,13-dimet-hyl-1,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,15,16-dodecahydro-2H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17(14)-one (compound 2n), which showed considerably high antiproliferative activity in the HepG-2 cell line, with an IC50 value of 9.10 µM, and considerably high activity against the MCF-7 cell line, with an IC50 value of 9.18 µM. Flow cytometry assays demonstrated that compound 2n exerted antiproliferative effects by arresting cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis.

Asymmetric Alkylation of Anthrones, Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (-)- and (+)-Viridicatumtoxins B and Analogues Thereof: Absolute Configuration and Potent Antibacterial Agents.

Project description:A phase transfer catalyzed asymmetric alkylation of anthrones with cyclic allylic bromides using quinidine- or quinine-derived catalysts is described. Utilizing mild basic conditions and as low as 0.5 mol % catalyst loading, and achieving up to >99:1 dr selectivity, this asymmetric reaction was successfully applied to produce enantioselectively (-)- and (+)-viridicatumtoxins B, and thus allowed assignment of the absolute configuration of this naturally occurring antibiotic. While the developed asymmetric synthesis of C10 substituted anthrones is anticipated to find wider applications in organic synthesis, its immediate application to the construction of a variety of designed enantiopure analogues of viridicatumtoxin B led to the discovery of highly potent, yet simpler analogues of the molecule. These studies are expected to facilitate drug discovery and development efforts toward new antibacterial agents.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Phosphatidylcholine Analogues Containing Monoterpene Acids as Potent Antiproliferative Agents.

Project description:The synthesis of novel phosphatidylcholines with geranic and citronellic acids in sn-1 and sn-2 positions is described. The structured phospholipids were obtained in high yields (59-87%) and evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against several cancer cell lines of different origin: MV4-11, A-549, MCF-7, LOVO, LOVO/DX, HepG2 and also towards non-cancer cell line BALB/3T3 (normal mice fibroblasts). The phosphatidylcholines modified with monoterpene acid showed a significantly higher antiproliferative activity than free monoterpene acids. The highest activity was observed for the terpene-phospholipids containing the isoprenoid acids in sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine and palmitic acid in sn-2.

Design and synthesis of new 7-(N-substituted-methyl)-camptothecin derivatives as potent cytotoxic agents.

Project description:A series of novel 7-(N-substituted-methyl)-camptothecin derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against four human tumor cell lines, A-549, MDA-MB-231, KB, and KBvin. All of the derivatives showed promising in vitro cytotoxic activity against the tested tumor cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.0023 to 1.11 μM, and were as or more potent than topotecan. Compounds 9d, 9e, and 9r exhibited the highest antiproliferative activity among all prepared derivatives. Furthermore, all of the compounds were more potent than paclitaxel against the multidrug-resistant (MDR) KBvin subline. With a concise efficient synthesis and potent cytotoxic profiles, especially significant activity towards KBvin, compounds 9d, 9e, and 9r merit further development as a new generation of camptothecin-derived anticancer clinical trial candidates.

Synthesis, docking and biological activities of novel hybrids celecoxib and anthraquinone analogs as potent cytotoxic agents.

Project description:Herein, novel hybrid compounds of celecoxib and 2-aminoanthraquinone derivatives have been synthesized using condensation reactions of celecoxib with 2-aminoanthraquinone derivatives or 2-aminoanthraquinon with celecoxib derivatives. Celecoxib was reacted with different acid chlorides, 2-chloroethylisocyanate and bis (2-chloroethyl) amine hydrochloride. These intermediates were then reacted with 2-aminoanthraquinone. Also the same different acid chlorides and 2-chloroethylisocyanate were reacted with 2-aminoanthraquinone and the resulting intermediates were reacted with celecoxib to give isomers for the previous compounds. The antitumor activities against hepatic carcinoma tumor cell line (HEPG2) have been investigated in vitro, and all these compounds showed promising activities, especially compound 3c, 7, and 12. Flexible docking studies involving AutoDock 4.2 was investigated to identify the potential binding affinities and the mode of interaction of the hybrid compounds into two protein tyrosine kinases namely, SRC (Pp60v-src) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor, PDGFR (c-Kit). The compounds in this study have a preferential affinity for the c-Kit PDGFR PTK over the non-receptor tyrosine kinase SRC (Pp60v-src).

Synthesis and evaluation of a series of resveratrol analogues as potent anti-cancer agents that target tubulin.

Project description:A series of novel diarylacrylonitrile and trans-stilbene analogues of resveratrol has been synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activities against a panel of 60 human cancer cell lines. The diarylacrylonitrile analogues 3b and 4a exhibited the most potent anticancer activity of all the analogues synthesized in this study, with GI50 values of < 10 nM against almost all the cell lines in the human cancer cell panel. Compounds 3b and 4a were also screened against the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line, MV4-11, and were found to have potent cytotoxic properties that are likely mediated through inhibition of tubulin polymerization. Results from molecular docking studies indicate a common binding site for 4a and 3b on the 3,3-tubulin heterodimer, with a slightly more favorable binding for 3b compared to 4a; this is consistent with the results from the microtubule assays, which demonstrate that 4a is more potent than 3b in inhibiting tubulin polymerization in MV4-11 cells. Taken together, these data suggest that diarylacrylonitriles 3b and 4a may have potential as antitubulin therapeutics for treatment of both solid and hematological tumors.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Dihydronaphthalene Candidates as Potent Cytotoxic Agents against MCF-7 Human Cancer Cells.

Project description:In the present work, a new series of dihydronaphthalene derivatives were synthesized starting with 6-methoxy-1-tetralone 1, and the corresponding hydrazine derivative 2. Reaction of compound 2 with aryl isothiocyanates produced thiosemicarbazides 3a-d, which were reacted with ethyl chloroacetate to give thiazolidinone derivatives 4a-d. Pyrano thiazolecarbonitrile derivatives 5a-f were prepared by heating a mixture of compounds 4a or 4c, aryl aldehydes, and malononitrile utilizing distilled water in the presence of catalytic amount of potassium hydrogen phthalate. Also, treatment of 4a with DMF-DMA under solvent-free conditions gave enaminone derivative 6, which condensed with ethyl acetoacetate or acetylacetone or malononitrile or cyanothioacetamide to give compounds 7-10, respectively. Finally, reaction of the enaminone 6 with 2-aminoimidazol or 2-aminothiazol in the presence of glacial acetic acid produced derivatives 11 and 12, respectively. Cytotoxic evaluation of eleven compounds, against MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) cell lines, was estimated. Results revealed that five of the examined compounds 5a, 5d, 5e, 10, and 3d showed potent cytotoxic activities recording, IC50 values; 0.93 ± 0.02, 1.76 ± 0.04, 2.36 ± 0.06, 2.83 ± 0.07, and 3.73 ± 0.09 μM, respectively, which were more potent than the reference used (Saturosporin, IC506.08 ± 0.15 μM). The new products were also examined towards normal epithelial breast cells (MCF10A). All of them showed very good safety profile with different degrees and were safer than the reference drug used. Compound 5a was the most effective against MCF-7 cells and was less toxic than Saturosporin by about 18.45-folds towards MCF01A normal cells. All the new compounds were fully characterized by the different spectral and analytical tools. Herein, detailed syntheses, spectroscopic, and biological data are reported.
