Small molecule purine and pseudopurine derivatives: synthesis, cytostatic evaluations and investigation of growth inhibitory effect in non-small cell lung cancer A549.

ABSTRACT: Novel halogenated purines and pseudopurines with diverse aryl-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles were prepared. While p-(trifluoromethyl)-substituted 1,2,3-triazole in N-9 alkylated purine and 3-deazapurine was critical for strong albeit unselective activity on pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells CFPAC-1,1-(p-fluorophenyl)-1,2,3-triazole derivative of 7-deazapurine showed selective cytostatic effect on metastatic colon cancer cells SW620. Importantly, 1-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,2,3-triazole-tagged benzimidazole displayed the most pronounced and highly selective inhibitory effect in nM range on non-small cell lung cancer A549. This compound revealed to target molecular processes at the extracellular side and inside the plasma membrane regulated by GPLD1 and growth factor receptors PDGFR and IGF-1R leading to the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis mediated by p38 MAP kinase and NF-?B, respectively. Further optimisation of this compound as to reduce its toxicity in normal cells may lead to the development of novel agent effective against lung cancer.

Project description:Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that calcitriol [1,25(OH)2D3] and different vitamin D analogs possess antineoplastic activity, regulating proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, as well as angiogenesis. Vitamin D compounds have been shown to exert synergistic effects when used in combination with different agents used in anticancer therapies in different cancer models. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanisms of the cooperation of the vitamin D compounds [1,24(OH)2D3 (PRI?2191) and 1,25(OH)2D3] with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (imatinib and sunitinib) together with cytostatics (cisplatin and docetaxel) in an A549 non-small cell lung cancer model. The cytotoxic effects of the test compounds used in different combinations were evaluated on A549 lung cancer cells, as well as on human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMECs). The effects of such combinations on the cell cycle and cell death were also determined. In addition, changes in the expression of proteins involved in cell cycle regulation, angiogenesis and the action of vitamin D were analyzed. Moreover, the effects of 1,24(OH)2D3 on the anticancer activity of sunitinib and sunitinib in combination with docetaxel were examined in an A549 lung cancer model in vivo. Experiments aiming at evaluating the cytotoxicity of the combinations of the test agents revealed that imatinib and sunitinib together with cisplatin or docetaxel exerted potent anti-proliferative effects in vitro on A549 lung cancer cells and in HLMECs; however, 1,24(OH)2D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 enhanced the cytotoxic effects only in the endothelial cells. Among the test agents, sunitinib and cisplatin decreased the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)?A from the A549 lung cancer cells. The decrease in the VEGF?A level following incubation with cisplatin correlated with a higher p53 protein expression, while no such correlation was observed following treatment of the A549 cells with sunitinib. Sunitinib together with docetaxel and 1,24(OH)2D3 exhibited a more potent anticancer activity in the A549 lung cancer model compared to double combinations and to treatment with the compounds alone. The observed anticancer activity may be the result of the influence of the test agents on the process of tumor angiogenesis, for example, through the downregulation of VEGF?A expression in tumor and also on the induction of cell death inside the tumor.
