Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Osimertinib-Based HDAC and EGFR Dual Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Herein a novel series of histone deacetylases (HDACs) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dual inhibitors were designed and synthesized based on the structure of the approved EGFR inhibitor osimertinib (AZD9291). Among them, four compounds 5D, 5E, 9D and 9E exhibited more potent total HDAC inhibition than the approved HDAC inhibitor SAHA. However, these compounds only showed moderate to low inhibitory potency towards EGFR with compounds 5E and 9E possessing IC50 values against EGFRWT and EGFRT790M in the micromolar range. 3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay revealed the potent antiproliferative activities of compounds 5D, 5E, 9D and 9E, among which 9E was even more potent against HeLa, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, HT-29 and KG-1 cell lines than SAHA and AZD9291. Further selectivity profile of 9E showed that this compound was not active against other 13 cancer-related kinases and two epigenetic targets lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4). These results support further structural modification of 9E to improve its EGFR inhibitory activity, which will lead to more potent and balanced HDAC and EGFR dual inhibitors as anticancer agents.

Project description:Recently, combining histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors with chemotherapeutic drugs or agents, in particular epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, is considered to be one of the most encouraging strategy to enhance the efficacy of the antineoplastic agents and decrease or avoid drug resistance. Therefore, in this work, based on introducing 3,4,5-trimethoxy phenyl group as a part of the CAP moiety, in addition to incorporating 4-6 aliphatic carbons linker and using COOH or hydroxamic acid as ZBG, 12 novel EGFR/HDAC hybrid inhibitors 2a-c, 3a-c, 4a-c and 5a-c were designed, constructed, and evaluated for their anticancer activities against 4 cancer cell lines (HepG2, MCF-7, HCT116 and A549). Among all, hybrids with hydroxamic acid 4a-c and 5a, exhibited the highest inhibition against all cancer cell lines with IC50 ranging from 0.536 to 4.892 μM compared to Vorinostat (SAHA) with IC50 ranging from 2.43 to 3.63 μM and Gefitinib with IC50 ranging from 1.439 to 3.366 μM. Mechanistically, the most potent hybrids 4a-c and 5a were further tested for their EGFR and HDACs inhibitory activities. The findings disclosed that hybrid 4b displayed IC50 = 0.063 µM on the target EGFR enzyme which is slightly less potent than the standard Staurosporine (IC50 = 0.044 µM). Furthermore, hybrid 4b showed less HDAC inhibitory activity IC50 against HDAC1 (0.148), 2 (0.168), 4 (5.852), 6 (0.06) and 8 (2.257) than SAHA. In addition, the investigation of apoptotic action of the most potent hybrid 4b showed a significant increase in Bax level up to 3.75-folds, with down-regulation in Bcl2 to 0.42-fold, compared to the control. Furthermore, hybrid 4b displayed an increase in the levels of Caspases 3 and 8 by 5.1 and 3.15 folds, respectively. Additionally, the cell cycle analysis of hybrid 4b revealed that it showed programmed cell death and cell cycle arrest at G1/S phase. Moreover, all these outcomes together with the molecular docking study recommended the rationalized target hybrids 4a-c and 5a, particularly 4b, may be considered to be promising lead candidates for discovery of novel anticancer agents via dual inhibition of both EGFR/HDAC enzymes.
