Synthesis and anticancer activity evaluation of naphthalene-substituted triazole spirodienones.

Project description:Building on our previous work that discovered 1,2,4-triazole-spirodienone as a promising pharmacophore for anticancer activity, we have further diversified 1,2,4-triazole- spirodienone derivatives and synthesized a series of novel naphthalene-substituted triazole spirodienones to explore their antineoplastic activity. Of these, compound 6a possesses remarkable in vitro cytotoxic activity by arresting cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. Subsequently, acute toxicity assay showed that 6a at 20 mg/kg has no apparent toxicity to the major organ in mice. In addition, compound 6ain vivo suppressed breast cancer 4T1 tumor growth. Taken together, these results indicate that compound 6a may be a potential anticancer agent for further development.

Pyridine-Ureas as Potential Anticancer Agents: Synthesis and In Vitro Biological Evaluation.

Project description:In our endeavor towards the development of effective anticancer agents, a novel series of pyridine-ureas 8a?n were synthesized. All the newly prepared derivatives were evaluated in vitro for their growth inhibitory activity towards the proliferation of breast cancer MCF-7 cell line. Compounds 8e and 8n were found to be the most active congeners against MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 0.22 and 1.88 µM after 48 h treatment; 0.11 and 0.80 µM after 72 h treatment, respectively) with increased activity compared to the reference drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 1.93 µM). Moreover, eight selected pyridines 8b, 8d, 8e, 8i, 8j and 8l?n were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity according to the US-NCI protocol. Pyridines 8b and 8e proved to be the most effective anticancer agents in the NCI assay with mean inhibition = 43 and 49%, respectively. Both 8b and 8e exhibited anti-proliferative activity against all tested cancer cell lines from all subpanels growth inhibition (GI for 8b; 12?78%, GI for 8e; 15?91%). Pyridines 8b and 8e were screened in vitro for their inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2. Both compounds inhibited VEGFR-2 at micromolar IC50 values 5.0 ± 1.91 and 3.93 ± 0.73 µM, respectively. The most active pyridines were filtered according to the Lipinski and Veber rules and all of them passed these filters. Finally, several ADME descriptors were predicted for the active pyridines through a theoretical kinetic study.

Discovery of 4-substituted methoxybenzoyl-aryl-thiazole as novel anticancer agents: synthesis, biological evaluation, and structure-activity relationships.

Project description:A series of 4-substituted methoxybenzoyl-aryl-thiazoles (SMART) have been discovered and synthesized as a result of structural modifications of the lead compound 2-arylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid amides (ATCAA). The antiproliferative activity of the SMART agents against melanoma and prostate cancer cells was improved from muM to low nM range compared with the ATCAA series. The structure-activity relationship was discussed from modifications of "A", "B", and "C" rings and the linker. Preliminary mechanism of action studies indicated that these compounds exert their anticancer activity through inhibition of tubulin polymerization.

Solvent-free synthesis, DNA-topoisomerase II activity and molecular docking study of new asymmetrically N,N'-substituted ureas.

Project description:A new series of asymmetrically N,N'-substituted ureas 20–25 was prepared using solvent free conditions, which is an eco-friendly methodology, starting with Schiff bases derived from cinnamaldehyde and p-substituted anilines, which are subsequently submitted to reduction reactions that afford the corresponding asymmetric secondary amines. All of the intermediates were prepared using solvent free reactions, which were compared to traditional methodologies. All of the reactions required a remarkably short amount of time and provided good yields when solvent free conditions were employed compared to other methodologies. The DNA-topoisomerase II-α (topo II-α) activity was evaluated in relaxation assays, which showed that all of the compounds inhibited the enzyme activity at 10 μM, except for urea 24. Furthermore, a molecular docking study indicated that the compounds 20–25 binding to the topo II-α are able to interact with the same binding site as the anticancer drug etoposide, suggesting that the ureas could inhibit the enzyme by the same mechanism of action observed for etoposide, which prevents re-ligation of the DNA strands.

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and anticancer activity of new 10-substituted 1,6-diazaphenothiazines.

Project description:New phenothiazine derivatives as 10-substituted dipyridothiazines of the 1,6-diazaphenothiazine structure were obtained in the cyclization reaction of 3-amino-3'-nitro-2,2'-dipyridinyl sulfide and 3,3'-dinitro-2,2'-dipyridinyl disulfide, and in the reaction of 2-chloro-3-ntropyridine with sodium 3-amino-2-pyridinethiolate followed by various alkylation and arylation reactions. The reaction of the thiazine ring formation ran via the Smiles rearrangement of the S-N type. As the alkylation reactions could proceed at the thiazine, azine or both nitrogen atoms, the product structure elucidation was based on the 2D NMR (Rotating-frame Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy, Correlated Spectroscopy, Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence, and Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation) spectra of the N-methylated product. Some 10-substituted 1,6-diazaphenothizines (5, 10, 12, 13) were at least anticancer active against melanoma C-32 and breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines as a reference drug - cisplatin. The monoazaphenothiazine drug, prothipendyl, turned out to be less active than least 6 derivatives of the 1,6-diazaphenothiazine structure.

Design, Synthesis and Anticancer Evaluation of Substituted Cinnamic Acid Bearing 2-Quinolone Hybrid Derivatives.

Project description:A new series of hybrid molecules containing cinnamic acid and 2-quinolinone derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass analyses. All the synthesized hybrid molecules were assessed for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against more than one cancer cell lines. Compound 3-(3,5-dibromo-7,8-dihydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxoquinolin-1(2H)-ylamino)-3-phenylacrylic acid (5a) with IC50 = 1.89 μM against HCT-116 was proved to the most potent compound in this study, as compared to standard drug staurosporin. DNA flow cytometry assay of compound 5a revealed G2/M phase arrest and pre-G1 apoptosis. Annexin V-FITC showed that the percentage of early and late apoptosis was increased. The results of topoisomerase enzyme inhibition activity showed that the hybrid molecule 5a displays potent inhibitory activity compared with control.

Design, synthesis, HER2 inhibition and anticancer evaluation of new substituted 1,5-dihydro-4,1-benzoxazepines.

Project description:A series of 11 new substituted 1,5-dihydro-4,1-benzoxazepine derivatives was synthesised to study the influence of the methyl group in the 1-(benzenesulphonyl) moiety, the replacement of the purine by the benzotriazole bioisosteric analogue, and the introduction of a bulky substituent at position 6 of the purine, on the biological effects. Their inhibition against isolated HER2 was studied and the structure-activity relationships have been confirmed by molecular modelling studies. The most potent compound against isolated HER2 is 9a with an IC50 of 7.31 µM. We have investigated the effects of the target compounds on cell proliferation. The most active compound (7c) against all the tumour cell lines studied (IC50 0.42-0.86 µM) does not produce any modification in the expression of pro-caspase 3, but increases the caspase 1 expression, and promotes pyroptosis.

Synthesis of novel lipophilic N-substituted norcantharimide derivatives and evaluation of their anticancer activities.

Project description:This research attempted to study the effect of lipophilicity on the anticancer activity of N-substituted norcantharimide derivatives. Twenty-three compounds were synthesized and their cytotoxicities against five human cancer cell lines studied. The lipophilicity of each derivative was altered by its substituent, an alkyl, alkyloxy, terpenyl or terpenyloxy group at the N-position of norcantharimide. Further, among all synthesized derivatives studied, the compounds N-farnesyloxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboximide (9), and N-farnesyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboximide (18), have shown the highest cytotoxicity, anti-proliferative and apoptotic effect against human liver carcinoma HepG2 cell lines, yet displayed no significant cytotoxic effect on normal murine embryonic liver BNL CL.2 cells. Their overall performance led us to believe that these two compounds might be potential candidates for anticancer drugs development.

Synthesis and SAR studies of novel 6,7,8-substituted 4-substituted benzyloxyquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives for anticancer activity.

Project description:4-Phenylquinolin-2(1H)-one (4-PQ) derivatives can induce cancer cell apoptosis. Additional new 4-PQ analogs were investigated as more effective, less toxic antitumour agents.Forty-five 6,7,8-substituted 4-substituted benzyloxyquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives were synthesized. Antiproliferative activities were evaluated using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliun bromide assay and structure-activity relationship correlations were established. Compounds 9b, 9c, 9e and 11e were also evaluated against the National Cancer Institute-60 human cancer cell line panel. Hoechst 33258 and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining assays were used to detect apoptosis, while inhibition of microtubule polymerization was assayed by fluorescence microscopy. Effects on the cell cycle were assessed by flow cytometry and on apoptosis-related proteins (active caspase-3, -8 and -9, procaspase-3, -8, -9, PARP, Bid, Bcl-xL and Bcl-2) by Western blotting.Nine 6,7,8-substituted 4-substituted benzyloxyquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives (7e, 8e, 9b, 9c, 9e, 10c, 10e, 11c and 11e) displayed high potency against HL-60, Hep3B, H460, and COLO 205 cancer cells (IC?? < 1??M) without affecting Detroit 551 normal human cells (IC?? > 50??M). Particularly, compound 11e exhibited nanomolar potency against COLO 205 cancer cells. Mechanistic studies indicated that compound 11e disrupted microtubule assembly and induced G2/M arrest, polyploidy and apoptosis via the intrinsic and extrinsic signalling pathways. Activation of JNK could play a role in TRAIL-induced COLO 205 apoptosis.New quinolone derivatives were identified as potential pro-apoptotic agents. Compound 11e could be a promising lead compound for future antitumour agent development.
