Discovery of biarylaminoquinazolines as novel tubulin polymerization inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Cell cycle experiments with our previously reported 4-biphenylaminoquinazoline (1-3) multityrosine kinase inhibitors revealed an activity profile resembling that of known tubulin polymerization inhibitors. Novel 4-biarylaminoquinazoline analogues of compound 2 were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of several tyrosine kinases and of tubulin. Although compounds 1-3 acted as dual inhibitors, the heterobiaryl analogues possessed only anti-tubulin properties and targeted the colchicine site. Furthermore, molecular modeling studies allowed the rationalization of the pharmacodynamic properties of the compounds.

Novel indole-bearing combretastatin analogues as tubulin polymerization inhibitors.

Project description:BackgroundThe combretastatins are a class of natural stilbenoids. These molecules generally share three common structural features: a trimethoxy "A"-ring, a "B"-ring containing substituent often at C3' and C4', and an ethene bridge between the two rings, which provides necessary structural rigidity. Members of the combretastatin family possess varying ability to cause vascular disruption in tumors. Combretastatin binds to the colchicine binding site of β-subunit of tubulin. Despite having a similar name, combretastatin is unrelated to statins, a family of cholesterol-lowering drugs.ResultsNew combretastatin 2-(1-acetyl-1H-indole-3-yl)-3-(phenyl) propenoic analogues (2a to 2y), bearing indole moiety at the place of ring A of combretastatin (CA4), were synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines such as THP-1 (leukemia), A-549 (lung), IGROV-1 (ovary), HEP-2 (liver), MCF-7 (breast), and DU-145 (prostate). Compound 2d showed anti-cancer activity against THP-1 and MCF-7 with IC50 0.80 and 0.37 μM, respectively, and 2y showed against MCF-7 with IC50 3.60 μM comparable to paclitaxel.ConclusionsThe target compounds bind to the colchicine binding site which is situated at α and β interface of tubulin and prevent polymerization as it was confirmed by immunofluorescence technique. The molecular docking further confirmed the binding of the potent compound 2d to the colchicine binding site at α and β interface of tubulin.

Discovery of Novel Diarylamide N-Containing Heterocyclic Derivatives as New Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitors with Anti-Cancer Activity.

Project description:Tubulin has been regarded as an attractive and successful molecular target in cancer therapy and drug discovery. Vicinal diaryl is a simple scaffold found in many colchicine site tubulin inhibitors, which is also an important pharmacophoric point of tubulin binding and anti-cancer activity. As the continuation of our research work on colchicine binding site tubulin inhibitors, we designed and synthesized a series of diarylamide N-containing heterocyclic derivatives by the combination of vicinal diaryl core and N-containing heterocyclic skeletons into one hybrid though proper linkers. Among of these compounds, compound 15b containing a 5-methoxyindole group exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against the tested three human cancer cell lines (MGC-803, PC-3 and EC-109) with IC50 values of 1.56 μM, 3.56 μM and 14.5 μM, respectively. Besides, the SARs of these compounds were preliminarily studied and summarized. The most active compound 15b produced the inhibition of tubulin polymerization in a dose-dependent manner and caused microtubule network disruption in MGC-803 cells. Therefore, compound 15b was identified as a novel tubulin polymerization inhibitor targeting the colchicine binding site. In addition, the results of molecular docking also suggested compound 15b could tightly bind into the colchicine binding site of β-tubulin.

Discovery of Novel 4-Arylisochromenes as Anticancer Agents Inhibiting Tubulin Polymerization.

Project description:XJP-L (8), a derivative of the natural product (±)-7,8-dihydroxy-3-methylisochroman-4-one isolated from the peel of Musa sapien tum L., was found to exhibit weak inhibitory activity of tubulin polymerization (IC50 = 10.6 ?M) in our previous studies. Thus, a series of 4-arylisochromene derivatives were prepared by incorporating the trimethoxyphenyl moiety into 8, among which compound (±)-19b was identified as the most potent compound with IC50 values ranging from 10 to 25 nM against a panel of cancer cell lines. Further mechanism studies demonstrated that (±)-19b disrupted the intracellular microtubule network, caused G2/M phase arrest, induced cell apoptosis, and depolarized mitochondria of K562 cells. Moreover, (±)-19b exhibited potent in vitro antivascular and in vivo antitumor activities. Notably, the R-configured enantiomer of (±)-19b, which was prepared by chiral separation, was slightly more potent than (±)-19b and was much more potent than the S-configured enantiomer in both antiproliferative and antitubulin assays. Our findings suggest that (±)-19b deserves further research as a potential antitubulin agent for the treatment of cancers.

Discovery of Novel 3,4-Dihydro-2(1H)-Quinolinone Sulfonamide Derivatives as New Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitors with Anti-Cancer Activity.

Project description:In this paper, a small series of novel quinoline sulfonamide derivatives was synthesized, and their structure of the target compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR and MS. The screening of the news target compounds' in vitro cytotoxic activities against tumor cell lines by the MTT method was performed. Among them, compound D13 (N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-oxo-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-6-sulfonamide exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HeLa (IC50: 1.34 μM), and this value correlated well with the inhibitory activities of the compound against tubulin polymerization (IC50: 6.74 μM). In summary, a new type of quinoline-sulfonamide derivative with tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity was discovered, and it can be used as a lead compound for further modification.

Novel hybrid nocodazole analogues as tubulin polymerization inhibitors and their antiproliferative activity.

Project description:We describe the design, synthesis and SAR profiling of a series of novel combretastatin-nocodazole conjugates as potential anticancer agents. The thiophene ring in the nocodazole moiety was replaced by a substituted phenyl ring from the combretastatin moiety to design novel hybrid analogues. The hydroxyl group at the ortho position in compounds 2, 3 and 4 was used as the conformationally locking tool by anticipated six-membered hydrogen bonding. The bioactivity profiles of all compounds as tubulin polymerization inhibitors and as antiproliferative agents against the A-549 human lung cancer cell line were investigated Compounds 1 and 4 showed ?M IC50 values in both assays.

Novel tubulin polymerization inhibitors overcome multidrug resistance and reduce melanoma lung metastasis.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate abilities of 2-aryl-4-benzoyl-imidazoles (ABI) to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR), define their cellular target, and assess in vivo antimelanoma efficacy.MethodsMDR cell lines that overexpressed P-glycoprotein, MDR-associated proteins, and breast cancer resistance protein were used to evaluate ABI ability to overcome MDR. Cell cycle analysis, molecular modeling, and microtubule imaging were used to define ABI cellular target. SHO mice bearing A375 human melanoma xenograft were used to evaluate ABI in vivo antitumor activity. B16-F10/C57BL mouse melanoma lung metastasis model was used to test ABI efficacy to inhibit tumor lung metastasis.ResultsABIs showed similar potency to MDR cells compared to matching parent cells. ABIs were identified to target tubulin on the colchicine binding site. After 31 days of treatment, ABI-288 dosed at 25 mg/kg inhibited melanoma tumor growth by 69%; dacarbazine at 60 mg/kg inhibited growth by 52%. ABI-274 dosed at 25 mg/kg showed better lung metastasis inhibition than dacarbazine at 60 mg/kg.ConclusionsThis new class of antimitotic compounds can overcome several clinically important drug resistant mechanisms in vitro and are effective in inhibiting melanoma lung metastasis in vivo, supporting their further development.

Highly potent triazole-based tubulin polymerization inhibitors.

Project description:We describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of tubulin polymerization inhibitors that contain the 1,2,4-triazole ring to retain the bioactive configuration afforded by the cis double bond in combretastatin A-4 (CA-4). Several of the subject compounds exhibited potent tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity as well as cytotoxicity against a variety of cancer cells including multi-drug-resistant (MDR) cancer cell lines. Attachment of the N-methyl-5-indolyl moiety to the 1,2,4-triazole core, as exemplified by compound 7, conferred optimal properties among this series. Computer docking and molecular simulations of 7 inside the colchicine binding site of tubulin enabled identification of residues most likely to interact strongly with these inhibitors and explain their potent anti-tubulin activity and cytotoxicity. It is hoped that results presented here will stimulate further examination of these substituted 1,2,4-triazoles as potential anti-cancer therapeutic agents.

Design and Antiproliferative Evaluation of Novel Sulfanilamide Derivatives as Potential Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of sulfanilamide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were designed by a molecular hybridization strategy and evaluated for antiproliferative activity against three selected cancer cell lines (MGC-803, MCF-7 and PC-3). The detailed structure-activity relationships for these sulfanilamide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were investigated. All these sulfanilamide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids exhibited moderate to potent activity against all cell lines. In particular 4-methyl-N-((1-(3-phenoxybenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)benzenesulfonamide (11f) showed the most potent inhibitory effect against PC-3 cells, with an IC50 value of 4.08 μM. Furthermore, the tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity in vitro of compound 11f was 2.41 μM. These sulfanilamide hybrids might serve as bioactive fragments for developing more potent antiproliferative agents.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel 1,3-Oxazole Sulfonamides as Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of novel 1,3-oxazole sulfonamides were constructed and screened for their potential to inhibit cancer cell growth. These compounds were evaluated against the full NCI-60 human tumor cell lines, with the majority exhibiting promising overall growth inhibitory properties. They displayed high specificity within the panel of leukemia cell lines versus all other lines tested. When examined in the dose-response assay, GI50 values fell within the low micromolar to nanomolar ranges. 1,3-Oxazole sulfonamide 16 displayed the best average growth inhibition, whereas the 2-chloro-5-methylphenyl and 1-naphthyl substituents on the sulfonamide nitrogen proved to be the most potent leukemia inhibitors with mean GI50 values of 48.8 and 44.7 nM, respectively. In vitro tubulin polymerization experiments revealed that this class of compounds effectively binds to tubulin and induces the depolymerization of microtubules within cells.

Structural interrogation of benzosuberene-based inhibitors of tubulin polymerization.

Project description:The discovery of 3-methoxy-9-(30,40,50-trimethoxyphenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[7]annulen-4-ol (a benzosuberene-based analogue referred to as KGP18) was originally inspired by the natural products colchicine and combretastatin A-4 (CA4). The relative structural simplicity and ease of synthesis of KGP18, coupled with its potent biological activity as an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and its cytotoxicity (in vitro) against human cancer cell lines, has resulted in studies focused on new analogue design and synthesis. Our goal was to probe the relationship of structure to function in this class of anticancer agents. A series of twenty-two new benzosuberene-based analogues of KGP18 was designed and synthesized. These compounds vary in their methoxylation pattern and separately incorporate trifluoromethyl groups around the pendant aryl ring for the evaluation of the effect of functional group modifications on the fused six-membered aromatic ring. In addition, the 8,9-saturated congener of KGP18 has been synthesized to assess the necessity of unsaturation at the carbon atom bearing the pendant aryl ring. Six of the molecules from this benzosuberene-series of compounds were active (IC50 < 5 lM) as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization while four analogues were comparable (IC50 approximately 1 lM) in their tubulin inhibitory activity to CA4 and KGP18. The potency of a bis-trifluoromethyl analogue 74 and the unsaturated KGP18 derivative 73 as inhibitors of tubulin assembly along with their moderate cytotoxicity suggested the potential utility of these compounds as vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) to selectively target microvessels feeding tumors. Accordingly, water-soluble and DMSO-soluble phosphate prodrug salts of each were synthesized for preliminary in vivo studies to assess their potential efficacy as VDAs.
