Antineoplastic agents. 579. Synthesis and cancer cell growth evaluation of E-stilstatin 3: a resveratrol structural modification.

ABSTRACT: As an extension of our earlier structure/activity investigation of resveratrol (1a) cancer cell growth inhibitory activity compared to the structurally related stilbene combretastatin series (e.g., 2a), an efficient synthesis of E-stilstatin 3 (3a) and its phosphate prodrug 3b was completed. The trans-stilbene 3a was obtained using a convergent synthesis employing a Wittig reaction with phosphonium bromide 9 as the key reaction step. Deprotection of the Z-silyl ether 13 gave E-stilstatin 3 (3a) as the exclusive product. The structure and stereochemistry of 3a was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure determination.

Antineoplastic agents. 592. Highly effective cancer cell growth inhibitory structural modifications of dolastatin 10.

Project description:The dolastatin series of unique peptides, originally discovered as constituents of the sea hare Dolabella auricularia, is of increasing importance in providing biological leads, especially to new and useful anticancer drugs. Dolastatin 10 and three analogues, minor structural modifications designated auristatins, are currently in human cancer clinical trials. The present study was undertaken to explore delivery to the cancer sites by way of phosphate or quinoline modifications. The initial objectives, auristatin TP as sodium phosphate 3b (GI50 10(-2)-10(-4) ?g/mL), auristatin 2-AQ (4, GI50 10(-2)-10(-3) ?g/mL), and auristatin 6-AQ (5, GI50 10(-4) ?g/mL), exhibited superior cancer cell growth inhibitory properties.

Antineoplastic agents. 571. Total synthesis of bacillistatin 2.

Project description:The first total synthesis of bacillistain 2 (2) has been achieved in 24 steps and 22.9% overall yield, providing a quite efficient route with maximal convergence. Notable features of this approach include two successful applications of the Mitsunobu reaction during respective assemblies of key intermediates 22 and 27, successful employment of 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride (MNBA) in the formation by lactonization of a macrocyclic (36-membered) ring, and very flexible access to structural modifications of the bacillistatin-type cyclodepsipeptides.

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.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of new resveratrol analogues as potential anti-cancer agents.

Project description:A series of novel resveratrol derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as anti-cancer agents. Most of the compounds showed significant anti-proliferative activities against three human cancer cell lines (HepG2, A549 and Hela). Among these compounds, compound r displayed the most potent inhibitory activity and showed low cytotoxic activity. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle assays demonstrated that compound r significantly induced apoptosis (p < 0.001) and arrested cell cycle at S phase. Immunofluorescence microscopy analysis showed compound r disrupted the tubulin network. Docking simulations supported the pharmacological results of compound r. It is believed that this work would be very useful for designing a new series of tubulin inhibitors.

Antineoplastic Agents Targeting Sphingolipid Pathways.

Project description:Emerging studies in the enigmatic area of bioactive lipids have made many exciting new discoveries in recent years. Once thought to play a strictly structural role in cellular function, it has since been determined that sphingolipids and their metabolites perform a vast variety of cellular functions beyond what was previously believed. Of utmost importance is their role in cellular signaling, for it is now well understood that select sphingolipids serve as bioactive molecules that play critical roles in both cancer cell death and survival, as well as other cellular responses such as chronic inflammation, protection from intestinal pathogens, and intrinsic protection from intestinal contents, each of which are associated with oncogenesis. Importantly, it has been demonstrated time and time again that many different tumors display dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolism, and the exact profile of said dysregulation has been proven to be useful in determining not only the presence of a tumor, but also the susceptibility to various chemotherapeutic drugs, as well as the metastasizing characteristics of the malignancies. Since these discoveries surfaced it has become apparent that the understanding of sphingolipid metabolism and profile will likely become of great importance in the clinic for both chemotherapy and diagnostics of cancer. The goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the current state of chemotherapeutic agents that target sphingolipid metabolism that are undergoing clinical trials. Additionally, we will formulate questions involving the use of sphingolipid metabolism as chemotherapeutic targets in need of further research.

Design, synthesis, biological and structural evaluation of functionalized resveratrol analogues as inhibitors of quinone reductase 2.

Project description:Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxylstilbene) has been proposed to elicit a variety of positive health effects including protection against cancer and cardiovascular disease. The highest affinity target of resveratrol identified so far is the oxidoreductase enzyme quinone reductase 2 (QR2), which is believed to function in metabolic reduction and detoxification processes; however, evidence exists linking QR2 to the metabolic activation of quinones, which can lead to cell toxicity. Therefore, inhibition of QR2 by resveratrol may protect cells against reactive intermediates and eventually cancer. With the aim of identifying novel inhibitors of QR2, we designed, synthesized, and tested two generations of resveratrol analogue libraries for inhibition of QR2. In addition, X-ray crystal structures of six of the resveratrol analogues in the active site of QR2 were determined. Several novel inhibitors of QR2 were successfully identified as well as a compound that inhibits QR2 with a novel binding orientation.

Application of Mannich bases to the synthesis of hydroxymethylated isoflavonoids as potential antineoplastic agents.

Project description:The regiospecific Mannich aminomethylation of 7-hydroxyisoflavonoids using bis(N,N-dimethylamino)methane afforded C-8 substituted N,N-dimethylaminomethyl adducts, and the regioselective aminomethylation of 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyisoflavonoids afforded predominantly the C-6 substituted N,N-dimethylaminomethyl adducts. Acetylation of these C-6 or C-8 Mannich bases with potassium acetate in acetic anhydride provided access to the corresponding acetoxymethyl derivatives that were subsequently converted to hydroxymethyl- and methoxymethyl-substituted 5-hydroxy- or 7-hydroxyisoflavonoids related to naturally occurring flavonoids. The C-8 acetoxymethyl, hydroxymethyl or methoxymethyl-substituted isoflavonoids possessed promising inhibitory potency in the low micromolar range in a prostate cancer PC-3 cell proliferation assay.

Toward Resolving the Resveratrol Conundrum: Synthesis and in Vivo Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of BCP-Resveratrol.

Project description:Over the last few decades, resveratrol has gained significance due to its impressive array of biological activities; however, its true potential as a drug has been severely constrained by its poor bioavailability. Indeed, several studies have implicated this bioavailability trait as a major road-block to resveratrol's potential clinical applications. To mitigate this pharmacokinetic issue, we envisioned a tactical bioisosteric modification of resveratrol to bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) resveratrol. Relying on the beneficial bioisosteric potential demonstrated by the BCP-scaffold, we hypothesized that BCP-resveratrol would have an inherently better in vivo PK profile as compared to its natural counterpart. To validate such a hypothesis, it was necessary to secure a synthetic access to this novel structure. Herein we describe the first synthesis of BCP-resveratrol and disclose its PK properties.

Synthesis, structural characterization, and evaluation of new peptidomimetic Schiff bases as potential antithrombotic agents.

Project description:New Schiff bases functionalized with amide and phenolic groups synthesized by the condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxyacetophenone with amino acid amides which in turn were prepared in two steps from N-Boc-amino acids and homoveraltrylamine through intermediate compounds N-Boc-amino acids amides. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of three Schiff bases were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. There exists O-H ⋯ N, N-H ⋯ O, and C-H ⋯ O types of hydrogen bonds and C-H ⋯π secondary bonding interactions in these crystalline solids. The Schiff bases have been screened for anticoagulant and antiplatelet aggregation activities. All the compounds showed procoagulant activity which shortens the clotting time of citrated human plasma in both platelet-rich plasma and platelet-poor plasma except the derivatives of L-methionine which showed anticoagulant activity by prolonging the clotting time. In addition, the compounds derived from benzyl cysteine and phenylalanine showed adenosine diphosphate induced antiplatelet aggregation activity, whereas others did not show any role. Moreover, all these compounds revealed non-hemolytic activity with red blood cells.Graphical abstractSupplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00706-022-02936-6.

Synthesis and evaluation of resveratrol derivatives as fetal hemoglobin inducers.

Project description:Resveratrol (RVT) derivatives (10a-i) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their potential as gamma-globin inducers in treating Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) symptoms. All compounds were able to release NO at different levels ranging from 0 to 26.3%, while RVT did not demonstrate this effect. In vivo, the antinociceptive effect was characterized using an acetic acid-induced abdominal contortion model. All compounds exhibited different levels of protection, ranging from 5.9 to 37.3%; the compound 10a was the most potent among the series. At concentrations between 3.13 and 12.5 µM, the derivative 10a resulted in a reduction of 41.1-64.3% in the TNF-α levels in the supernatants of macrophages that were previously LPS-stimulated. This inhibitory effect was higher than that of RVT used as the control. In addition, the compound 10a and RVT induced double the production of the gamma-globin chains (γG + γA), compared to the vehicle, using CD34+ cells. Compound 10a also did not induce membrane perturbation and it was not mutagenic in the in vivo assay. Thus, compound 10a emerged as a new prototype of the gamma-globin-inducer group with additional analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities and proving to be a useful alternative to treat SCD symptoms.
