Project description:Structural modifications to the coumarin core and benzamide side chain of novobiocin have successfully transformed the natural product from a selective DNA gyrase inhibitor into a potent inhibitor of the Hsp90 C-terminus. However, no SAR studies have been conducted on the noviose appendage, which represents the rate-limiting synthon in the preparation of analogues. Therefore, a series of sugar mimics and non-sugar derivatives were synthesized and evaluated to identify simplified compounds that exhibit Hsp90 inhibition. Evaluation against two breast cancer cell lines demonstrated that replacement of the stereochemical complex noviose with simplified alkyl amines increased anti-proliferative activity, resulting in novobiocin analogues that manifest IC(50) values in the mid nanomolar range.

Project description:Background. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is essential for the stability and the function of many client proteins, such as ERB2, C-RAF, CDK4, HIF-1 aplha and AKT. Recent reports demonstrated that inhibition of Hsp90 modulates multiple functions required for survival of human cancer, such as myeloma (Mitsiades et al, Blood:107, 1092, 2006), however, the precise mechanism of anti-cancer effect of Hsp90 inhibition is still uncertain. Aim. The aim of this study is evaluate the effect of Hsp90 inhibition, and to identify molecular pathways responsible for anti-proliferative effect on ATL cells. Method. For Hsp90 inhibition, Geldanamycin derivates, 17AAG (17-allylamino -17-demethoxygeldanamycin) and 17DMAG (17-(dimethylaminoethylamino) 17-demethoxygeldanamycin) were used in this study. Interleukin 2-independent ATL cell lines (MT-2 and MT-4) and an interleukin 2-dependent ATL cell line (TaY) were incubated, with or without Hsp90 inhibitors. Fresh ATL cells obtained from patients were also used after obtaining informed consent. Cell numbers at 48 h after incubation with or without Hsp90 inhibitors were assessed with the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). For detection of apoptosis, we used Annexin V-biotin apoptosis detection kit (Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA, USA). Gene expression analysis was done using a DNA microarray (NCBI Gene expression omnibus; GPL 2531) and statistical analysis was done by a GeneSifter (VizXlabs, Seattle, WA, USA). Results. We found cell death induced by Hsp90 inhibitors in all the 3 ATL cell lines as well as patient specimens. Inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 17AAG in 3 ATL cell lines was 300 to 700 nM, and that of 17DMAG was 150 to 200 nM. Fresh ATL cells obtained from patients were more sensitive for either 17AAG or 17DMAG. Gene expression analysis of ATL cells revealed that up-regulation of HSPA1A encoding Hsp70, and genes related to cell cycle arrest (i.e. CDKN1A). Genes regulating cell proliferation or anti-apoptosis (i.e. MYC, BCL2 and Cyclin C), genes related to cytokine or chemokine (i.e. IL9, CCL 17, and CCL27), and notably, genes involved in Wnt/-catenin signaling pathway (i.e.TCF7L2 and TCF4), were remarkably repressed. Inhibition of AKT at the protein level was also evident, suggesting the possibility that AKT may down-regulates -catenin/ TCF7L2 pathways in response to Hsp90 inhibitors in ATL cells. Conclusion. Our results have provided new insights into the complex molecular pharmacology of Hsp90 inhibitors, and suggest that Hsp90 inhibitors might be beneficial as anti-proliferative agent in treating ATL patients. Six samples treated with Hsp90 inhibitors (17-AAG or 17-DMAG) were analyzed in biological duplicate.

The method has characteristics of environmental friendliness, economy, simple separation, and purification process, less by-products and high reaction yield. Those 3-arylcoumarin derivatives were screened for antioxidant, ?-glucosidase inhibitory and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation inhibitory. Most compounds exhibited significant antioxidant and AGEs formation inhibitory activities. Anti-diabetic activity studies showed that compounds 11 and 17 were equipotent to the standard drug glibenclamide in vivo. According to the experimental results, the target compound 35 can be used as a lead compound for the development of new anti-diabetic drugs. The whole experiment showed that anti-diabetic activity is prevalent in 3-arylcoumarins, which added a new natural skeleton to the development of anti-diabetic active drugs.

Project description:Background and aim: The current study reports the synthesis and biological evaluation of two novel series of 4-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phthalazin-1(2H)-one derivatives. Methods: The synthetic reactions were carried out under both conventional and ultrasonic irradiation conditions. The anti-proliferative activity of the newly synthesized compounds against two human epithelial cell lines; liver (HepG2) and breast (MCF-7) in addition to normal fibroblasts (WI-38) was investigated. In addition to molecular docking studies, the possible mechanism(s) of action were also explored. Results: In general, an improvement in synthetic rates and yields was observed when reactions were carried out under sonication compared with classical conditions. The structures of the products were established based on analytical and spectral data. Derivatives 2e and 7d, in addition to compound 1, had significant and selective anti-proliferative activity against liver and breast cancer cell lines without harming normal fibroblasts. These derivatives arrested the cell cycle progression and/or induced apoptosis. This has been manifested by the elevation in the expression of p53 and caspase 3, down-regulation of cdk1, and a reduction in the concentrations of MAPK and Topo II at submicromolar concentrations. The latter results confirmed the molecular docking study. Conclusions: Compound 1 had the best profile on the gene and protein levels (arresting cell cycle and inducing apoptosis). The ability of compounds 1 and 2e to inhibit both MAPK and Topo II nominates these derivatives as potential candidates for further anticancer and antitumor studies.

Project description:Novel series of aminopyrimidines bearing a biologically active cyclohexenone 3a-f and oxo-selaneylidene moiety 4, besides selenadiazolopyrimidines (5a-e and 7), were synthesised using 5,6-diaminouracils as starting materials. Compound 3a exhibited strong anti-proliferative activity against three cell lines: HepG-2 (IC50 14.31 ± 0.83 µM), A-549 (IC50 30.74 ± 0.76 µM), and MCF-7 (IC50 27.14 ± 1.91 µM). Also, it was four times more selectively cytotoxic against WI-38 cell lines than doxorubicin. Furthermore, Topoisomerase II (IC50 4.48 ± 0.65 µM) and HSP90 (IC50 1.78 ± 0.11 µM) were both strongly inhibited in vitro by 3a. The cell cycle was halted at the G1-S phase, and total apoptotic cells were 65 times more than control Hep-G2 cells. Besides, it increased caspase-3 gene expression, triggering mitochondrial cell death. Molecular docking study indicated that it could bind to Topoisomerase II and HSP90 binding sites in an inhibitory mode. Its geometric properties were investigated using the density functional theory (DFT). Furthermore, compound 3a demonstrated in silico good oral bioavailability.

Project description:In this study, four series of new pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives were designed and synthesized with both green and conventional methods. All the synthesized candidates were chemically confirmed using spectroscopic methods, and the DFT of the reaction mechanism was illustrated. The anti-proliferative activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against NCI 60 cancer cell lines. Two compounds (15 & 16) exhibited excellent broad-spectrum cytotoxic activity in NCI 5-log dose assays against the full 60-cell panel with GI50 values ranging from 0.018 to 9.98 μM. Moreover, the enzymatic assessment of the most active derivatives 4, 15, and 16 against EGFR tyrosine kinase showed significant inhibitory activities with IC50 of 0.054, 0.135, and 0.034 μM, respectively. The quantitative real-time PCR for the P-glycoprotein effect of compounds 15 and 16 was examined and illustrated the ability to inhibit the P-glycoprotein by 0.301 and 0.449 fold in comparison to the control. Mechanistic study using reversal activity in MDA-MB-468 cell line revealed the effect of both compounds 15 and 16 cytotoxicity against DOX/MDA-MB-468 with IC50 = 0.267 and 0.844 μM, respectively. Additionally, compound 16 was found to induce cell cycle arrest at the S phase with a subsequent increase in pre-G cell population in MDA-MB-468 cell line. It also increased the percentage of apoptotic cells in a time-dependent manner. Moreover, a molecular docking study was carried out to explain the target compounds' potent inhibitory activity within the EGFR binding site.
