Synthesis and preliminary structure-activity relationship study of 3-methylquinazolinone derivatives as EGFR inhibitors with enhanced antiproliferative activities against tumour cells.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a set of 3-methylquniazolinone derivatives were designed, synthesised, and studied the preliminary structure-activity relationship for antiproliferative activities. All target compounds performed significantly inhibitory effects against wild type epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR^wt-TK) and tumour cells (A431, A549, MCF-7, and NCI-H1975). In particular, compound 4d 3-fluoro-N-(4-((3-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)methoxy)phenyl)benzamide showed higher antiproliferative activities against all tumour cells than Gefitinib (IC₅₀ of 3.48, 2.55, 0.87 and 6.42 μM, respectively). Furthermore, compound 4d could induce apoptosis of MCF-7 cells and arrest in G2/M phase at the tested concentration. Molecular docking and ADMET studies showed that compound 4d could closely form many hydrogen bonds with EGFR^wt-TK. Therefore, compound 4d is potential to develop as novel anti-cancer drug.

Antiproliferative and Apoptotic Activities of Sequence-Specific Histone Acetyltransferase Inhibitors

Project description:In parallel to monomeric epigenetic regulators, sequence-specific epigenetic regulators represent versatile synthetic dual-target ligands that achieve regulatory control over multi-gene networks. Development of DNA-binding domain (DBD)-HDAC inhibitors and DBD-HAT activators, which result in increased histone acetylation, has become one promising research field. However, there is no report regarding the gene regulatory pattern by sequence-specific epigenetic repressor. We report here for the first time, the synthesis of DBD-HAT inhibitors and demonstrate that these conjugates could retain their dual-target activity using predicted working model of thermal stability assay and in vitro HAT activity assay. Evaluation of antiproliferative activity in cancer cells showed that 2 (with a medium linker length of 13-atom) exhibited the highest antiproliferative activity in p53 wild-type cancer cell lines (IC50 of 1.8-2.6 uM in A549 and MV4-11 cells) and not in p53 mutant cancer cell lines. A mechanistic investigation using microarray analysis and an apoptotic assay showed that the antiproliferative effect of 2 occurred via the up-regulation of p53 target genes, and the subsequent initiation of p53-dependent apoptosis. Our research on sequence-specific dual-target epigenetic repressor offers us an alternative way to modulate HAT-governed therapeutically important genes and contributes to offer a fresh insight into antitumor therapeutics.

Novel flavonoids with antiproliferative activities against breast cancer cells.

Project description:A series of flavone analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferation activity against breast cancer cells. The IC(50) of compound 10 and 24 were determined to be at 5 ?M. These compounds were used as baits to screen breast cancer cDNA expression phage display proteome library. DNA sequencing of the binding phages suggests that eEF1A1 is a target protein for 10 and 24. Further optimization of these compounds led to the discovery of 39 with higher cytotoxic potency (IC(50) = 1 ?M) and binding to eEF1A2. Biological and biochemical data suggest that eEF1A2 might be a therapeutic target and that 39 is an excellent lead compound for further development.

The Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activities of 1,2,3-Triazolyl-L-Ascorbic Acid Derivatives.

Project description:The novel 4-substituted 1,2,3-triazole L-ascorbic acid (L-ASA) conjugates with hydroxyethylene spacer as well as their conformationally restricted 4,5-unsaturated analogues were synthesized as potential antioxidant and antiproliferative agents. An evaluation of the antioxidant activity of novel compounds showed that the majority of the 4,5-unsaturated L-ASA derivatives showed a better antioxidant activity compared to their saturated counterparts. m-Hydroxyphenyl (7j), p-pentylphenyl (7k) and 2-hydroxyethyl (7q) substituted 4,5-unsaturated 1,2,3-triazole L-ASA derivatives exhibited very efficient and rapid (within 5 min) 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) radical scavenging activity (7j, 7k: IC50 = 0.06 mM; 7q: IC50 = 0.07 mM). In vitro scavenging activity data were supported by in silico quantum-chemical modelling. Thermodynamic parameters for hydrogen-atom transfer and electron-transfer radical scavenging pathways of anions deprotonated at C2-OH or C3-OH groups of L-ASA fragments were calculated. The structure activity analysis (SAR) through principal component analysis indicated radical scavenging activity by the participation of OH group with favorable reaction parameters: the C3-OH group of saturated C4-C5(OH) derivatives and the C2-OH group of their unsaturated C4=C5 analogues. The antiproliferative evaluation showed that p-bromophenyl (4e: IC50 = 6.72 μM) and p-pentylphenyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazole L-ASA conjugate (4k: IC50 = 26.91 μM) had a selective cytotoxic effect on breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells. Moreover, compound 4e did not inhibit the growth of foreskin fibroblasts (IC50 > 100 μM). In MCF-7 cells treated with 4e, a significant increase of hydroxylated hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) expression and decreased expression of nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) were observed, suggesting the involvement of 4e in the HIF-1α signaling pathway for its strong growth-inhibition effect on MCF-7 cells.

Development of novel amino-quinoline-5,8-dione derivatives as NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) inhibitors with potent antiproliferative activities.

Project description:Fourteen novel amino-quinoline-5,8-dione derivatives (6a-h and 7a-h) were designed and synthesized by coupling different alkyl- or aryl-amino fragments at the C6- or C7-position of quinoline-5,8-dione. All target compounds showed antiproliferative potency in the low micromolar range in both drug sensitive HeLaS3 and multidrug resistant KB-vin cell lines. Compounds 6h, 6d, 7a, and 7d exhibited more potent antiproliferative effects than the other compounds. Especially, compounds 6d and 7d displayed NQO1-dependent cytotoxicity and competitive NQO1 inhibitory effects in both drug sensitive HeLaS3 and multidrug resistant KB-vin cell lines. Furthermore, compounds 6h, 6d, 7a, and 7d induced a dose-dependent lethal mitochondrial dysfunction in both drug sensitive HeLaS3 and multidrug resistant KB-vin cells by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Notably, compound 7d selectively inhibited cancer cells, but not non-tumor liver cell proliferation in vitro, and significantly triggered HeLaS3 cell apoptosis by regulating apoptotic proteins of Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings suggest that these novel C6- or C7-substituted amino-quinoline-5,8-dione derivatives, such as 7d, could be further developed in the future as potent and selective antitumor agents to potentially circumvent multi-drug resistance (MDR).

Design, synthesis, and analysis of antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing activities of nitrile derivatives containing a benzofuran scaffold: EGFR inhibition assay and molecular modelling study.

Project description:New cyanobenzofurans derivatives 2-12 were synthesised, and their antiproliferative activity was examined compared to doxorubicin and Afatinib (IC50 = 4.17-8.87 and 5.5-11.2 µM, respectively). Compounds 2 and 8 exhibited broad-spectrum activity against HePG2 (IC50 = 16.08-23.67 µM), HCT-116 (IC50 = 8.81-13.85 µM), and MCF-7 (IC50 = 8.36-17.28 µM) cell lines. Compounds 2, 3, 8, 10, and 11 were tested as EGFR-TK inhibitors to demonstrate their possible anti-tumour mechanism compared to gefitinib (IC50 = 0.90 µM). Compounds 2, 3, 10, and 11 displayed significant EGFR TK inhibitory activity with IC50 of 0.81-1.12 µM. Compounds 3 and 11 induced apoptosis at the Pre-G phase and cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. They also increased the level of caspase-3 by 5.7- and 7.3-fold, respectively. The molecular docking analysis of compounds 2, 3, 10, and 11 indicated that they could bind to the active site of EGFR TK.

Novel mutant-selective EGFR kinase inhibitors against EGFR T790M.

Project description:The clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitors in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is limited by the development of drug-resistance mutations, including the gatekeeper T790M mutation. Strategies targeting EGFR T790M with irreversible inhibitors have had limited success and are associated with toxicity due to concurrent inhibition of wild-type EGFR. All current EGFR inhibitors possess a structurally related quinazoline-based core scaffold and were identified as ATP-competitive inhibitors of wild-type EGFR. Here we identify a covalent pyrimidine EGFR inhibitor by screening an irreversible kinase inhibitor library specifically against EGFR T790M. These agents are 30- to 100-fold more potent against EGFR T790M, and up to 100-fold less potent against wild-type EGFR, than quinazoline-based EGFR inhibitors in vitro. They are also effective in murine models of lung cancer driven by EGFR T790M. Co-crystallization studies reveal a structural basis for the increased potency and mutant selectivity of these agents. These mutant-selective irreversible EGFR kinase inhibitors may be clinically more effective and better tolerated than quinazoline-based inhibitors. Our findings demonstrate that functional pharmacological screens against clinically important mutant kinases represent a powerful strategy to identify new classes of mutant-selective kinase inhibitors.

Antiproliferative and differentiating activities of a novel series of histone deacetylase inhibitors.

Project description:Histone deacetylases are promising molecular targets for the development of antitumor agents. A novel series of histone deacetylase inhibitors of the hydroxamic acid type were synthesized for structure-activity studies. Thirteen tricyclic dibenzo-diazepine, -oxazepine, and -thiazepine analogues were studied and shown to induce variable degrees of histone H3/H4 and tubulin acetylation in a cellular model of myeloid leukemia sensitive to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Multiparametric correlations between acetylation of the three substrates, tumor cell growth inhibition, and ATRA-dependent cytodifferentiation were performed, providing information on the chemical functionalities governing these activities. For two analogues, antitumor activity in the animal was demonstrated.

Semisynthetic latrunculin derivatives as inhibitors of metastatic breast cancer: biological evaluations, preliminary structure-activity relationship and molecular modeling studies.

Project description:The microfilament cytoskeleton protein actin plays an important role in cell biology and affects cytokinesis, morphogenesis, and cell migration. These functions usually fail and become abnormal in cancer cells. The marine-derived macrolides latrunculins A and B, from the Red Sea sponge Negombata magnifica, are known to reversibly bind actin monomers, forming 1:1 stoichiometric complexes with G-actin, disrupting its polymerization. To identify novel therapeutic agents for effective treatment of metastatic breast cancer, several semisynthetic derivatives of latrunculin A with diverse steric, electrostatic, and hydrogen bond donor and acceptor properties were rationally prepared. Analogues were designed to modulate the binding affinity toward G-actin. Examples of these reactions are esterification, acetylation, and N-alkylation. Semisynthetic latrunculins were then tested for their ability to inhibit pyrene-conjugated actin polymerization, and subsequently assayed for their antiproliferative and anti-invasive properties against MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells using MTT and invasion assays, respectively.

New Imatinib Derivatives with Antiproliferative Activity against A549 and K562 Cancer Cells.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase enzymes are among the primary molecular targets for the treatment of some human neoplasms, such as those in lung cancer and chronic myeloid leukemia. Mutations in the enzyme domain can cause resistance and new inhibitors capable of circumventing these mutations are highly desired. The objective of this work was to synthesize and evaluate the antiproliferative ability of ten new analogs that contain isatins and the phenylamino-pyrimidine pyridine (PAPP) skeleton, the main pharmacophore group of imatinib. The 1,2,3-triazole core was used as a spacer in the derivatives through a click chemistry reaction and gave good yields. All the analogs were tested against A549 and K562 cells, lung cancer and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines, respectively. In A549 cells, the 3,3-difluorinated compound (3a), the 5-chloro-3,3-difluorinated compound (3c) and the 5-bromo-3,3-difluorinated compound (3d) showed IC50 values of 7.2, 6.4, and 7.3 μM, respectively, and were all more potent than imatinib (IC50 of 65.4 μM). In K562 cells, the 3,3-difluoro-5-methylated compound (3b) decreased cell viability to 57.5% and, at 10 µM, showed an IC50 value of 35.8 μM (imatinib, IC50 = 0.08 μM). The results suggest that 3a, 3c, and 3d can be used as prototypes for the development of more potent and selective derivatives against lung cancer.

Design and Antiproliferative Evaluation of Novel Sulfanilamide Derivatives as Potential Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of sulfanilamide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were designed by a molecular hybridization strategy and evaluated for antiproliferative activity against three selected cancer cell lines (MGC-803, MCF-7 and PC-3). The detailed structure-activity relationships for these sulfanilamide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were investigated. All these sulfanilamide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids exhibited moderate to potent activity against all cell lines. In particular 4-methyl-N-((1-(3-phenoxybenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)benzenesulfonamide (11f) showed the most potent inhibitory effect against PC-3 cells, with an IC50 value of 4.08 ?M. Furthermore, the tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity in vitro of compound 11f was 2.41 ?M. These sulfanilamide hybrids might serve as bioactive fragments for developing more potent antiproliferative agents.
