Design, synthesis and initial biological evaluation of a novel pladienolide analog scaffold.

ABSTRACT: A novel and simplified synthetic scaffold based on pladienolide was designed using a consensus pharmacophore hypothesis. An initial target was synthesized and evaluated to examine the role of the 3-hydroxy group and the methyl groups present at positions 10, 16, 20, 22 in 1, on biological activity. We report the first totally synthetic analog of this macrolide that shows biological activity. Our novel synthetic strategy enables the rapid synthesis of other new analogs of pladienolide in order to develop selective anticancer lead compounds.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel FAK scaffold inhibitors targeting the FAK-VEGFR3 protein-protein interaction.

Project description:Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) are tyrosine kinases, which function as key modulators of survival and metastasis signals in cancer cells. Previously, we reported that small molecule chlorpyramine hydrochloride (C4) specifically targets the interaction between FAK and VEGFR3 and exhibits anti-tumor efficacy. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of 1 (C4) analogs on the basis of structure activity relationship and molecular modeling. The resulting new compounds were evaluated for their binding to the FAT domain of FAK and anti-cancer activity. Amongst all tested analogs, compound 29 augmented anti-proliferative activity in multiple cancer cell lines with stronger binding to the FAT domain of FAK and disrupted the FAK-VEGFR3 interaction. In conclusion, we hope that this work will contribute to further studies of more potent and selective FAK-VEGFR3 protein-protein interaction inhibitors.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors derived from <i>β</i>-elemene scaffold.

Project description:β-Elemene is the major active ingredient of TCM anticancer drug elemene extracts. To further improve its antitumor activity and poor solubility, a polar HDACi pharmacophore was incorporated its scaffold. Systematic SAR studies led to the discovery of compounds 27f and 39f, which exhibited potent inhibitory activity against HDACs (HDAC1: IC50 = 22 and 9 nM; HDAC6: 8 and 14 nM, respectively). In cellular levels, 27f and 39f significantly inhibited cell proliferation of five tumour cell lines (IC50: 0.79 - 4.42 µM). Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that 27f and 39f efficiently induced cell apoptosis. Unexpectedly, compound 39f could also stimulate cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. Further in vivo study in WSU-DLCL-2 xenografted mouse model validated the antitumor activities of 27f, without significant toxicity. The results suggest the therapeutic potential of these HDACs inhibitors in lymphoma and provide valuable insight and understanding for further structural optimisation around β-elemene scaffold.

<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> RnpA Inhibitors: Computational-Guided Design, Synthesis and Initial Biological Evaluation.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance is spreading worldwide and it has become one of the most important issues in modern medicine. In this context, the bacterial RNA degradation and processing machinery are essential processes for bacterial viability that may be exploited for antimicrobial therapy. In Staphylococcus aureus, RnpA has been hypothesized to be one of the main players in these mechanisms. S. aureus RnpA is able to modulate mRNA degradation and complex with a ribozyme (rnpB), facilitating ptRNA maturation. Corresponding small molecule screening campaigns have recently identified a few classes of RnpA inhibitors, and their structure activity relationship (SAR) has only been partially explored. Accordingly, in the present work, using computational modeling of S. aureus RnpA we identified putative crucial interactions of known RnpA inhibitors, and we used this information to design, synthesize, and biologically assess new potential RnpA inhibitors. The present results may be beneficial for the overall knowledge about RnpA inhibitors belonging to both RNPA2000-like thiosemicarbazides and JC-like piperidine carboxamides molecular classes. We evaluated the importance of the different key moieties, such as the dichlorophenyl and the piperidine of JC2, and the semithiocarbazide, the furan, and the i-propylphenyl ring of RNPA2000. Our efforts could provide a foundation for further computational-guided investigations.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel betulinic acid derivatives.

Project description:UnlabelledBackgroundTumor, is one of the major reason for human death, due to its widespread occurrence. Betulinic acid derivatives have attracted considerable attention as cancer chemopreventive agents and also as cancer therapeutics. Many of its derivatives inhibit the growth of human cancer cell lines by triggering apoptosis. With this background, we planned to synthesize a series of betulinic acid derivatives to assess their antiproliferation efficacy on human cancer cell lines.ResultsA series of novel betulinic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized as highlighted by the preliminary antitumor evaluation against MGC-803, PC3, A375, Bcap-37 and A431 human cancer cell lines in vitro. The pharmacological results showed that some of the compounds displayed moderate to high levels of antitumor activities with most of new exhibiting higher inhibitory activities compared to BA. The IC50 values of compound 3c on the five cancer cell lines were 2.3, 4.6, 3.3, 3.6, and 4.3 μM, respectively. Subsequent fluorescence staining and flow cytometry analysis (FCM) indicated that compound 3c could induce apoptosis in MGC-803 and PC3 cell lines, and the apoptosis ratios reached the peak (37.38% and 33.74%) after 36 h of treatment at 10 μM.ConclusionsThis study suggests that most of betulinic acid derivatives could inhibit the growth of human cancer cell lines. Furthermore, compound 3c could induce apoptosis of cancer cells.

Novel Carbonyl Analogs of Tamoxifen: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation.

Project description:Aim of this work was to provide tamoxifen analogs with enhanced estrogen receptor (ER) binding affinity. Hence, several derivatives were prepared using an efficient triarylethylenes synthetic protocol. The novel compounds bioactivity was evaluated through the determination of their receptor binding affinity and their agonist/antagonist activity against breast cancer tissue using a MCF-7 cell-based assay. Phenyl esters 6a,b and 8a,b exhibited binding affinity to both ERα and ERβ higher than 4-hydroxytamoxifen while compounds 13 and 14 have shown cellular antiestrogenic activity similar to 4-hydroxytamoxifen and the known ER inhibitor ICI182,780. Theoretical calculations and molecular modeling were applied to investigate, support and explain the biological profile of the new compounds. The relevant data indicated an agreement between calculations and demonstrated biological activity allowing to extract useful structure-activity relationships. Results herein underline that modifications of tamoxifen structure still provide molecules with substantial activity, as portrayed in the inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel PARP-1 Inhibitors Based on a 1H-Thieno[3,4-d] Imidazole-4-Carboxamide Scaffold.

Project description:A series of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP)-1 inhibitors containing a novel scaffold, the 1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazole-4-carboxamide moiety, was designed and synthesized. These efforts provided some compounds with relatively good PARP-1 inhibitory activity, and among them, 16l was the most potent one. Cellular evaluations indicated that the anti-proliferative activities of 16g, 16i, 16j and 16l against BRCA-deficient cell lines were similar to that of olaparib, while the cytotoxicities of 16j and 16l toward human normal cells were lower. In addition, ADMET prediction results indicated that these compounds might possess more favorable toxicity and pharmacokinetic properties. This study provides a basis for our further investigation.

Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Silico Prediction of Novel Sinomenine Derivatives.

Project description:Sinomenine is a morphinan alkaloid with a variety of biological activities. Its derivatives have shown significant cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines in many studies. In this study, two series of sinomenine derivatives were designed and synthesized by modifying the active positions C1 and C4 on the A ring of sinomenine. Twenty-three compounds were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS). They were further evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five cancer cell lines, MCF-7, Hela, HepG2, SW480 and A549, and a normal cell line, Hek293, using MTT and CCK8 methods. The chlorine-containing compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic activity compared to the nucleus structure of sinomenine. Furthermore, we searched for cancer-related core targets and verified their interaction with derivatives through molecular docking. The chlorine-containing compounds 5g, 5i, 5j, 6a, 6d, 6e, and 6g exhibited the best against four core targets AKT1, EGFR, HARS and KARS. The molecular docking results were consistent with the cytotoxic results. Overall, results indicate that chlorine-containing derivatives might be a promising lead for the development of new anticancer agents.

2-(2-Arylphenyl)benzoxazole As a Novel Anti-Inflammatory Scaffold: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation.

Project description:The 2-(2-arylphenyl)benzoxazole moiety has been found to be a new and selective ligand for the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The 2-(2-arylphenyl)benzoxazoles 3a-m have been synthesized by Suzuki reaction of 2-(2-bromophenyl)benzoxazole. Further synthetic manipulation of 3f and 3i led to 3o and 3n, respectively. The compounds 3g, 3n, and 3o selectively inhibited COX-2 with selectivity index of 3n much better than that of the COX-2 selective NSAID celecoxib. The in vivo anti-inflammatory potency of 3g and 3n is comparable to that of celecoxib and the nonselective NSAID diclofenac at two different doses, and 3o showed better potency compared to these clinically used NSAIDs.
