5-Oxo-hexahydroquinoline Derivatives and Their Tetrahydroquinoline Counterparts as Multidrug Resistance Reversal Agents.

ABSTRACT: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a main reason of chemotherapy failure in many patients and is often related to overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, including P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1). Agents that are capable of modulation of the activity of these transporters might be effective in overcoming MDR. In this study, a new set of 1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro 5-oxo quinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives bearing 4-methylthiazole moiety and their tetrahydroquinoline counterparts were synthesized. MDR reversal activity of these 16 newly synthesized derivatives was tested in P-gp overexpressing MES-SA-DX5 human uterine sarcoma cells by flow cytometric determination of Rhodamine123 efflux. The effect of the most potent compounds in induction of apoptosis and alterations of cell cycle was examined in these cells by a flow cytometric method. Inherent cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against MCF-7, A-549 and K562 cancer cell lines, as well as MES-SA-DX5 and their parental non-resistant MES-SA and also HEK-293 non-cancerous cells by MTT assay. Compounds A1 and A2 with 5-oxo-hexahydroquinoline structure bearing 2,4-dichlorophenyl and 4-bromophenyl moieties, respectively, and their tetrahydroquinoline counterparts B1 and B2 significantly blocked P-gp efflux, induced apoptosis and showed the highest cytotoxicities against MES-SA-DX5 cells. However, only A2 and B2 compounds were relatively selective against cancer and MDR cells as compared to non-resistant and non-cancerous cells. These findings demonstrate that 5-oxo-hexahydroquinoline and 5-oxo-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives represent promising agents with therapeutic potential in drug resistant cancers.

Project description:This study involved the design and synthesis of 21 new nitrogen-containing heterocyclic chalcone derivatives utilizing the active substructure splicing principle, with glycyrrhiza chalcone serving as the lead compound. The targets of these derivatives were VEGFR-2 and P-gp, and their efficacy against cervical cancer was evaluated. Following preliminary conformational analysis, compound 6f ((E)-1-(2-hydroxy-5-((4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)methyl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-((4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one) exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa and SiHa) with IC50 values of 6.52 ± 0.42 and 7.88 ± 0.52 μM, respectively, when compared to other compounds and positive control drugs. Additionally, this compound demonstrated lower toxicity towards human normal cervical epithelial cells (H8). Subsequent investigations have demonstrated that 6f exerts an inhibitory impact on VEGFR-2, as evidenced by its ability to impede the phosphorylation of p-VEGFR-2, p-PI3K, and p-Akt proteins in HeLa cells. This, in turn, results in the suppression of cell proliferation and the induction of both early and late apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, 6f significantly curtails the invasion and migration of HeLa cells. In addition, 6f had an IC50 of 7.74 ± 0.36 μM against human cervical cancer cisplatin-resistant HeLa/DDP cells and a resistance index (RI) of 1.19, compared to 7.36 for cisplatin HeLa cells. The combination of 6f and cisplatin resulted in a significant reduction in cisplatin resistance in HeLa/DDP cells. Molecular docking analyses revealed that 6f exhibited binding free energies of -9.074 and -9.823 kcal·mol-1 to VEGFR-2 and P-gp targets, respectively, and formed hydrogen bonding forces. These findings suggest that 6f has potential as an anti-cervical cancer agent and may reverse cisplatin-resistant activity in cervical cancer. The introduction of the 4-hydroxy piperidine and 4-methyl piperidine rings may contribute to its efficacy, and its mechanism of action may involve dual inhibition of VEGFR-2 and P-gp targets.
