Discovery of a series of novel phenylpiperazine derivatives as EGFR TK inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important drug target that plays a fundamental role in signal transduction pathways in oncology. We report herein the discovery of a novel class of phenylpiperazine derivatives with improved potency toward EGFR. The biological activity of compound 3p as inhibitor of EGFR was further investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, compound 3p exhibited an IC50 in the nanomolar range in A549 cell cultures and induced a cessation of tumor growth with no toxicity, as determined by loss of body weight and death of treated mice. Compoutational docking studies also showed that compound 3p has interaction with EGFR key residues in the active site.

Novel Anticancer Fused Pyrazole Derivatives as EGFR and VEGFR-2 Dual TK Inhibitors.

Project description:EGFR and VEGFR-2 represent promising targets for cancer treatment as they are very important in tumor development as well as in angiogenesis and metastasis. In this work, 6-amino-4-(2-bromophenyl)-3-methyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile 1 and (E)-4-(2-Bromobenzylidene)-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one 11 were selected as starting materials to synthesize different fused pyrazole derivatives; dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole 1, 2, 7-9, and 15, pyrazolo[4',3':5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine 3-6, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine 12 and 13, and pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyrazole 14 derivatives were synthesized to evaluate their anticancer activity against HEPG2 human cancer cell lines compared to erlotinib and sorafenib as reference drugs. Seven compounds 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 12, and 15 showed nearly 10 fold higher activity than erlotinib (10.6 μM) with IC50 ranging from 0.31 to 0.71 μM. In vitro EGFR and VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity were performed for the synthesized compounds, and the results identified compound 3 as the most potent EGFR inhibitor (IC50 = 0.06 μM) and compound 9 as the most potent VEGFR-2 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.22 μM). Moreover, compounds 9 and 12 revealed potent dual EGFR and VEGFR-2 inhibition, and these results were supported by docking studies of these two compounds within the active sites of both enzymes.

Discovery of novel JAK2 and EGFR inhibitors from a series of thiazole-based chalcone derivatives.

Project description:The Janus kinase (JAK) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been considered as potential targets for cancer therapy due to their role in regulating proliferation and survival of cancer cells. In the present study, the aromatic alkyl-amino analogs of thiazole-based chalcone were selected to experimentally and theoretically investigate their inhibitory activity against JAK2 and EGFR proteins as well as their anti-cancer effects on human cancer cell lines expressing JAK2 (TF1 and HEL) and EGFR (A549 and A431). In vitro cytotoxicity screening results demonstrated that the HEL erythroleukemia cell line was susceptible to compounds 11 and 12, whereas the A431 lung cancer cell line was vulnerable to compound 25. However, TF1 and A549 cells were not sensitive to our thiazole derivatives. From kinase inhibition assay results, compound 25 was found to be a dual inhibitor against JAK2 and EGFR, whereas compounds 11 and 12 selectively inhibited the JAK2 protein. According to the molecular docking analysis, compounds 11, 12 and 25 formed hydrogen bonds with the hinge region residues Lys857, Leu932 and Glu930 and hydrophobically came into contact with Leu983 at the catalytic site of JAK2, while compound 25 formed a hydrogen bond with Met769 at the hinge region, Lys721 near a glycine loop, and Asp831 at the activation loop of EGFR. Altogether, these potent thiazole derivatives, following Lipinski's rule of five, could likely be developed as a promising JAK2/EGFR targeted drug(s) for cancer therapy.

Discovery of novel quinazoline derivatives bearing semicarbazone moiety as potent EGFR kinase inhibitors.

Project description:Aimed at discovering effective EGFR inhibitors, six series of quinazoline derivatives bearing a semicarbazone moiety were designed, synthesized and evaluated in different cancer cell lines (A549, HepG2, MCF-7 and PC-3). Most of the selected compounds showed remarkable cytotoxicity with IC50 values reaching the nanomole range. Further, the inhibition efficacy of 11 compounds against EGFR kinases was tested, which demonstrated excellent IC50 values in nanomolar level. Importantly, 2 compounds exhibited IC50 values of 0.05?nM and 0.1?nM against wild type EGFR respectively, suggesting more potent activities than that of the positive control, Afatinib (4.0?nM). Excitingly, 2 compounds showed excellent enzyme inhibitory activity with 8.6?nM and 5.6?nM for double T790?M/L858R mutant EGFRs, which is almost the same as Afatinib (3.8?nM). Structure-activity relationships (SARs) analysis indicated that the type of small molecule amine in pyrrole moiety or the chain length of pyrrolamine moiety had no obvious impact on the inhibition efficacy of our synthesized compounds against cancer cells. In addition, results of cell cycle analysis indicated that the G2/M phase of A549 cells was efficiently arrested by the selected compounds. These preliminary results demonstrate that 2 compounds may be promising lead compound-targeting EGFR.

A New Series of Indeno[1,2-c]pyrazoles as EGFR TK Inhibitors for NSCLC Therapy.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death throughout the world. Due to the shortcomings of traditional chemotherapy, targeted therapies have come into prominence for the management of NSCLC. In particular, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy has emerged as a first-line therapy for NSCLC patients with EGFR-activating mutations. In this context, new indenopyrazoles, which were prepared by an efficient microwave-assisted method, were subjected to in silico and in vitro assays to evaluate their potency as EGFR TK-targeted anti-NSCLC agents. Compound 4 was the most promising antitumor agent towards A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells, with an IC50 value of 6.13 µM compared to erlotinib (IC50 = 19.67 µM). Based on its low cytotoxicity to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), it can be concluded that compound 4 exerts selective antitumor action. This compound also inhibited EGFR TK with an IC50 value of 17.58 µM compared to erlotinib (IC50 = 0.04 µM) and induced apoptosis (56.30%). Taking into account in silico and in vitro data, compound 4 stands out as a potential EGFR TKI for the treatment of NSCLC.

Discovery of aminopyridine-containing spiro derivatives as EGFR mutations inhibitors.

Project description:Neratinib is an oral pan HER inhibitor, that irreversibly inhibits EGFR and HER2 and was proven to be effective against multiple EGFR mutations. In previous study, we reported spiro [indoline-3, 4'-piperidine]-2-ones as anticancer agents. In this study, we designed aminopyridine-containing spiro [indoline-3,4'-piperidine] derivatives A1-A4 using Neratinib and spiro [indoline-3, 4'-piperidine]-2-one compound patented as lead structure, then replaced piperidine with cyclopropane to obtain B1-B7 and replaced indoline with benzmorpholine to get C1-C4 and D1-D2. We synthesized these compounds and evaluated their residual activities under 0.5 M drug concentration on EGFR and ERBB2. Most of compounds showed stronger inhibition on EGFR-wt and ERBB2, in which A1-A4 showed excellent inhibitory activity with inhibition percentage on EGFR-wt kinase of 7%, 6%, 19%, 27%, respectively and 9%, 5%, 12%, 34% on ERBB2 kinase compared with 2% and 6% of Neratinib.

Design and Discovery of Quinazoline- and Thiourea-Containing Sorafenib Analogs as EGFR and VEGFR-2 Dual TK Inhibitors.

Project description:Both EGFR and VEGFR-2 play a critical role in tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis, and targeting EGFR and VEGFR-2 simultaneously represents a promising approach to cancer treatment. In this work, a series of novel quinazoline- and thiourea-containing sorafenib analogs (10a-v) were designed and synthesized as EGFR and VEGFR-2 dual TK inhibitors. Their in vitro enzymatic inhibitory activities against EGFR and VEGFR-2, and antiproliferative activities against HCT-116, MCF-7 and B16 cell lines were evaluated and described. Most of the compounds showed potent activities against both cell lines and TK kinases. Compounds 10b and 10q which exhibited the most potent inhibitory activities against EGFR (IC50 = 0.02 µM and 0.01 µM, respectively), VEGFR-2 (IC50 = 0.05 µM and 0.08 µM, respectively), and good antiproliferative activities, also displayed competitive anti-tumor activities than sorafenib in vivo by B16 melanoma xenograft model test.

Discovery of a Series of Thiazole Derivatives as Novel Inhibitors of Metastatic Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion.

Project description:Effective inhibitors of cancer cell migration and invasion can potentially lead to clinical applications as therapy to block tumor metastasis, the primary cause of death in cancer patients. To this end we have designed and synthesized a series of thiazole derivatives that showed potent efficacy against cell migration and invasion in metastatic cancer cells. The most effective compound, 5k, was found to have an IC50 value of 176 nM in the dose-dependent transwell migration assays in MDA-MB-231cells. At the dose of 10 μM, 5k also blocked about 80% of migration in HeLa and A549 cells and 60% of invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells. Importantly, the majority of the derivatives exhibited no apparent cytotoxicity in the clonogenic assays. The low to negligible inhibition of cell proliferation is a desirable property of these anti-migration derivatives because they hold promise of low toxicity to healthy cells as potential therapeutic agents. Mechanistic studies analyzing the actin cytoskeleton by microscopy demonstrate that compound 5k substantially reduced cellular f-actin, and prevented localization of fascin to actin-rich membrane protrusions. These results suggest that the anti-migration activity may result from impaired actin structures in protrusions that are necessary to drive migration.

Discovery of Potent EGFR Inhibitors With <i>6-Arylureido-4-anilinoquinazoline</i> Derivatives.

Project description:According to the classical pharmacophore fusion strategy, a series of 6-arylureido-4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives ( Compounds 7a - t ) were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated by the standard CCK-8 method and enzyme inhibition assay. Among the title compounds, Compounds 7a , 7c , 7d , 7f , 7i , 7o , 7p , and 7q exhibited promising anti-proliferative bioactivities, especially Compound 7i , which had excellent antitumor activity against the A549, HT-29, and MCF-7 cell lines (IC50 = 2.25, 1.72, and 2.81 μM, respectively) compared with gefitinib, erlotinib, and sorafenib. In addition, the enzyme activity inhibition assay indicated that the synthesized compounds had sub-micromolar inhibitory levels (IC50, 11.66-867.1 nM), which was consistent with the results of the tumor cell line growth inhibition tests. By comparing the binding mechanisms of Compound 7i (17.32 nM), gefitinib (25.42 nM), and erlotinib (33.25 nM) to the EGFR, it was found that Compound 7i could extend into the effective region with a similar action conformation to that of gefitinib and interact with residues L85, D86, and R127, increasing the binding affinity of Compound 7i to the EGFR. Based on the molecular hybridization strategy, 14 compounds with EGFR inhibitory activity were designed and synthesized, and the action mechanism was explored through computational approaches, providing valuable clues for the research of antitumor agents based on EGFR inhibitors.

Discovery of Novel 1,2,3-triazole Derivatives as IDO1 Inhibitors.

Project description:Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) has received much attention as an immunomodulatory enzyme in the field of cancer immunotherapy. While several IDO1 inhibitors have entered clinical trials, there are currently no IDO1 inhibitor drugs on the market. To explore potential IDO1 inhibitors, we designed a series of compounds with urea and 1,2,3-triazole structures. Organic synthesis and IDO1 enzymatic activity experiments verified the molecular-level activities of the designed compounds, and the IC50 value of compound 3a was 0.75 μM. Molecular docking and quantum mechanical studies further explained the binding mode and reaction potential of compound 3a with IDO1. Our research has resulted in a series of novel IDO1 inhibitors, which is beneficial to the development of drugs targeting IDO1 in numerous cancer diseases.
