Synthesis, Cytotoxic Activity Evaluation and Quantitative Structure-Activity Analysis of Substituted 5,8-Dihydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinones and their O- and S-Glycoside Derivatives Tested Against Neuro-2a Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Based on 6,7-substituted 2,5,8-trihydroxy-1,4-naphtoquinones (1,4-NQs) derived from sea urchins, five new acetyl-O-glucosides of NQs were prepared. A new method of conjugation of per-O-acetylated 1-mercaptosaccharides with 2-hydroxy-1,4-NQs through a methylene spacer was developed. Methylation of 2-hydroxy group of quinone core of acetylthiomethylglycosides by diazomethane and deacetylation of sugar moiety led to 28 new thiomethylglycosidesof 2-hydroxy- and 2-methoxy-1,4-NQs. The cytotoxic activity of starting 1,4-NQs (13 compounds) and their O- and S-glycoside derivatives (37 compounds) was determined by the MTT method against Neuro-2a mouse neuroblastoma cells. Cytotoxic compounds with EC₅₀ = 2.7-87.0 ?M and nontoxic compounds with EC₅₀ > 100 ?M were found. Acetylated O- and S-glycosides 1,4-NQs were the most potent, with EC₅₀ = 2.7-16.4 ?M. Methylation of the 2-OH group innaphthoquinone core led to a sharp increase in the cytotoxic activity of acetylated thioglycosidesof NQs, which was partially retained for their deacetylated derivatives. Thiomethylglycosides of 2-hydroxy-1,4-NQs with OH and MeO groups in quinone core at positions 6 and 7, resprectively formed a nontoxic set of compounds with EC₅₀ > 100 ?M. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model of cytotoxic activity of 22 1,4-NQ derivatives was constructed and tested. Descriptors related to the cytotoxic activity of new 1,4-NQ derivatives were determined. The QSAR model is good at predicting the activity of 1,4-NQ derivatives which are unused for QSAR models and nontoxic derivatives.

Project description:Cell division cycle 25 (Cdc25) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7) are enzymes involved in intracellular signaling but can also contribute to tumorigenesis. We synthesized and characterized the biological activity of 1,4-naphthoquinones structurally similar to reported Cdc25 and(or) MKK7 inhibitors with anticancer activity. Compound 7 (3-[(1,4-dioxonaphthalen-2-yl)sulfanyl]propanoic acid) exhibited high binding affinity for MKK7 (Kd = 230 nM), which was greater than the affinity of NSC 95397 (Kd = 1.1 μM). Although plumbagin had a lower binding affinity for MKK7, this compound and sulfur-containing derivatives 4 and 6-8 were potent inhibitors of Cdc25A and Cdc25B. Derivative 22e containing a phenylamino side chain was selective for MKK7 versus MKK4 and Cdc25 A/B, and its isomer 22f was a selective inhibitor of Cdc25 A/B. Docking studies performed on several naphthoquinones highlighted interesting aspects concerning the molecule orientation and hydrogen bonding interactions, which could help to explain the activity of the compounds toward MKK7 and Cdc25B. The most potent naphthoquinone-based inhibitors of MKK7 and/or Cdc25 A/B were also screened for their cytotoxicity against nine cancer cell lines and primary human mononuclear cells, and a correlation was found between Cdc25 A/B inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity of the compounds. Quantum chemical calculations using BP86 and ωB97X-D3 functionals were performed on 20 naphthoquinone derivatives to obtain a set of molecular electronic properties and to correlate these properties with cytotoxic activities. Systematic theoretical DFT calculations with subsequent correlation analysis indicated that energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital E(LUMO), vertical electron affinity (VEA), and reactivity index ω of these molecules were important characteristics related to their cytotoxicity. The reactivity index ω was also a key characteristic related to Cdc25 A/B phosphatase inhibitory activity. Thus, 1,4-naphthoquinones displaying sulfur-containing and phenylamino side chains with additional polar groups could be successfully utilized for further development of efficacious Cdc25 A/B and MKK7 inhibitors with anticancer activity.
