The synthesis and biological evaluation of sanguinarine derivatives as anti-non-small cell lung cancer agents.

ABSTRACT: A novel series of sanguinarine (SA) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as anti-non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) agents. The compounds inhibited A549 and H1975 NSCLC cells with IC₅₀ values of 0.96 - >30 ?M and 0.79 - >30 ?M, respectively. Compounds 8d-8j exhibited low micromolar inhibitory activity and indicated that the C6-position of SA was tolerated to be substituted by hydrophilic groups and CN. Further investigation of their mechanism of action showed that compound 8h induced apoptosis of A549 and H1975 cells by inhibiting the Akt signaling pathway and elevating the reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study provided a strategy for developing new anti-cancer agents.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of indazole derivatives as anti-cancer agents.

Project description:Several FDA approved small molecule anti-cancer drugs contain indazole scaffolds. Here, we report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of indazole derivatives. In vitro antiproliferative activity screening showed that compound 2f had potent growth inhibitory activity against several cancer cell lines (IC50 = 0.23-1.15 μM). Treatment of the breast cancer cell line 4T1 with 2f inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation. 2f dose-dependently promoted the apoptosis of 4T1 cells, which was connected with the upregulation of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax, and downregulation of Bcl-2. 2f also decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in 4T1 cells. Additionally, treatment with 2f disrupted 4T1 cells migration and invasion, and the reduction of matrix metalloproteinase metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and increase of tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP2) were also observed. Moreover, 2f could suppress the growth of the 4T1 tumor model without obvious side effects in vivo. Taken together, these results identified 2f as a potential small molecule anti-cancer agent.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Thalidomide Derivatives as Potential Anti-Psoriasis Agents.

Project description:Several thalidomide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity. Introduction of the benzyl group to the parent thalidomide is unfavorable in which 2-(1-benzyl-2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (4a) was inactivated. However, the inhibitory activities on TNF-α and IL-6 expression in HaCaT cells were improved by the substitution of a chloro- or methoxy- group at the phenyl position of 4a. The IL-6 inhibitory activity decreased in an order of 5c (69.44%) > 4c (48.73%) > 6c (3.19%) indicating the 3-substituted derivative is more active than the 4-substituted counterpart, which in turn is more active than the 2-substituted counterpart. Among them, 2-[1-(3-chlorobenzyl)-2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl]isoindoline-1,3-dione (5c) was found to inhibit TNF-α and IL-6 expression in HaCaT cells with a higher potency than thalidomide and no significant cell cytotoxicity was detected at 10 μM. In psoriasis, Compound 5c reduced IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β and IL-24 in imiquimod-stimulated models. Our results indicated that compound 5c is a potential lead of novel anti-psoriasis agents. Structural optimization of compound 5c and its in vivo assay are ongoing.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of new ligustrazine derivatives as anti-tumor agents.

Project description:To discover new anti-cancer agents with multi-effect and low toxicity, a series of ligustrazine derivatives were synthesized using several effective anti-tumor ingredients of Shiquandabu Wan as starting materials. Our idea was enlightened by the "combination principle" in drug discovery. The ligustrazine derivatives' anti-tumor activities were evaluated on the HCT-8, Bel-7402, BGC-823, A-549 and A2780 human cancer cell lines. In addition the angiogenesis activities were valued by the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. 1,7-bis(4-(3,5,6-Trimethylpyrazin-2-yl)-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (4) and 3 α,12 α-dihydroxy-5β-dholanic acid-3,5,6-trimethylpyrazin-2-methyl ester (5) not only displayed antiproliferative activities on these cancer cells, but also dramatically suppressed normal angiogenesis in CAM. The LD₅₀ value of the compound 5 exceeded 3.0 g/kg by oral administration in mice.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of matrine derivatives containing benzo-?-pyrone structure as potent anti-lung cancer agents.

Project description:Matrine, an active component of root extracts from Sophora flavescens Ait, is the main chemical ingredient of Fufang Kushen injection which was approved by Chinese FDA (CFDA) in 1995 as an anticancer drug to treat non-small cell lung cancer and liver cancer in combination with other anticancer drugs. Owning to its druggable potential, matrine is considered as an ideal lead compound for modification. We delineate herein the synthesis and anticancer effects of 17 matrine derivatives bearing benzo-?-pyrone structures. The results of cell viability assays indicated that most of the target compounds showed improved anticancer effects. Further studies showed that compound 5i could potently inhibit lung cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo with no obvious side effects. Moreover, compound 5i could induce G1 cell cycle arrest and autophagy in lung cancer cells through up-regulating P27, down-regulating CDK4 and cyclinD1 and attenuating PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Suppression of autophagy attenuated 5i induced proliferation inhibition. Collectively, our results infer that matrine derivative 5i bears therapeutic potentials for lung cancer.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-arylcoumarin derivatives as potential anti-diabetic agents.

Project description:A variety of substituted 3-arylcoumarin derivatives were synthesised through microwave radiation heating. The method has characteristics of environmental friendliness, economy, simple separation, and purification process, less by-products and high reaction yield. Those 3-arylcoumarin derivatives were screened for antioxidant, ?-glucosidase inhibitory and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation inhibitory. Most compounds exhibited significant antioxidant and AGEs formation inhibitory activities. Anti-diabetic activity studies showed that compounds 11 and 17 were equipotent to the standard drug glibenclamide in vivo. According to the experimental results, the target compound 35 can be used as a lead compound for the development of new anti-diabetic drugs. The whole experiment showed that anti-diabetic activity is prevalent in 3-arylcoumarins, which added a new natural skeleton to the development of anti-diabetic active drugs.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel arylcarboxamide derivatives as anti-tubercular agents.

Project description:Our group has previously reported several indolecarboxamides exhibiting potent antitubercular activity. Herein, we rationally designed several arylcarboxamides based on our previously reported homology model and the recently published crystal structure of the mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (MmpL3). Many analogues showed considerable anti-TB activity against drug-sensitive (DS) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) strain. Naphthamide derivatives 13c and 13d were the most active compounds in our study (MIC: 6.55, 7.11 μM, respectively), showing comparable potency to the first line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drug ethambutol (MIC: 4.89 μM). In addition to the naphthamide derivatives, we also identified the quinolone-2-carboxamides and 4-arylthiazole-2-carboxamides as potential MmpL3 inhibitors in which compounds 8i and 18b had MIC values of 9.97 and 9.82 μM, respectively. All four compounds retained their high activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tb strains. It is worth noting that the two most active compounds 13c and 13d also exhibited the highest selective activity towards DS, MDR and XDR M. tb strains over mammalian cells [IC50 (Vero cells) ≥ 227 μM], indicating their potential lack of cytotoxicity. The four compounds were docked into the MmpL3 active site and were studied for their drug-likeness using Lipinski's rule of five.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new carbazole derivatives as anti-cancer and anti-migratory agents.

Project description:Based on the efficacy of EHop-016 as an inhibitor of migration and Rac1 activation, a new series of carbazole derivatives has been synthesized. Cytotoxic and anti-migratory effects of these compounds were evaluated in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Preliminary investigations of their anticancer activity demonstrated that several compounds have moderate antiproliferative effects on cancer cell lines with GI50 values in the range of 13-50 µM. Furthermore, compounds 3b and 11b inhibit migration activity of metastatic cell line MDA-MB-231 by 32% and 34%, respectively. Compound 11b was shown to inhibit activation of the Rho GTPase Rac1 by 55% at 250 nM in both MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 cell lines. Compared with the IC50 of Rac1 inhibition by lead compound EHop-016 of 1.1 µM, compound 11b demonstrates 4X improved in vitro efficacy.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-arylbenzofuranone derivatives as potential anti-Alzheimer's disease agents.

Project description:Multi-target drugs can better address the cascade of events involved in oxidative stress and the reduction in cholinergic transmission that occur in Alzheimer's disease than cholinesterase inhibitors alone. We synthesised a series of 3-arylbenzofuranone derivatives and evaluated their antioxidant activity, cholinesterase inhibitory activity, and monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity. 3-Arylbenzofuranone compounds exhibit good antioxidant activity as well as selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. The IC50 value of anti-acetylcholinesterase inhibition of Compound 20 (0.089 ± 0.01 μM) is similar to the positive drug donepezil (0.059 ± 0.003 μM). According to the experimental results, Compounds 7, 13 show a certain effect in the in vitro evaluation performed and have the potential as drug candidates for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Design, Synthesis and Preliminary Biological Evaluation of Benzylsulfone Coumarin Derivatives as Anti-Cancer Agents.

Project description:In this work, a series of benzylsulfone coumarin derivatives 5a-5o were synthesized and characterized. Kinase inhibitory activity assay indicated that most of the compounds showed considerable activity against PI3K. Anti-tumor activity studies of the active compounds were also carried out in vitro on the Hela, HepG2, H1299, HCT-116, and MCF-7 tumor cell lines by MTS assay. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of these compounds were analyzed in detail. Compound 5h exhibited the most potent activities against the mentioned cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 18.12 to 32.60 μM, followed by 5m with IC50 values of 29.30-42.14 μM. Furthermore, 5h and 5m clearly retarded the migration of Hela cells in vitro. Next, an in silico molecular docking study was conducted to evaluate the binding models of 5h and 5m towards PI3Kα and PI3Kβ. Collectively, the above findings suggested that compounds 5h and 5m might be promising PI3K inhibitors deserving further investigation for cancer treatment.
