Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine derivatives as targeted therapy for PI3K with molecular modelling study.

ABSTRACT: Cancer is one of the most aggressive diseases characterised by abnormal growth and uncontrolled cell division. PI3K is a lipid kinase involved in cancer progression which makes it fruitful target for cancer control. 28 new morpholine based thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine derivatives were designed and synthesised as anti-PI3K agents maintaining the common pharmacophoric features of several potent PI3K inhibitors. Their antiproliferative activity on NCI 60 cell lines as well as their enzymatic activity against PI3K isoforms were evaluated. Three compounds revealed good cytotoxic activities against breast cancer cell lines, especially T-47D. Compound VIb exhibited the best enzymatic inhibitory activity (72% & 84% on PI3Kβ & PI3Kγ), respectively and good activity on most NCI cell lines especially those with over expressed PI3K. Docking was carried out into PI3K active site which showed comparable binding mode to that of the PI-103 inhibitor. Compound VIb could be optimised to serve as a new chemical entity for discovering new anticancer agents.

Design, synthesis, molecular modelling, and biological evaluation of novel substituted pyrimidine derivatives as potential anticancer agents for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:New anticancer agents are highly needed to overcome cancer cell resistance. A novel series of pyrimidine pyrazoline-anthracene derivatives (PPADs) (4a-t) were designed and synthesised. The anti-liver cancer activity of all compounds was screened in vitro against two hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines (HepG2 and Huh-7) as well as normal fibroblast cells by resazurin assay. The designed compounds 4a-t showed a broad-spectrum anticancer activity against the two cell lines and their activity was more prominent on cancer compared to normal cells. Compound 4e showed high potency against HepG2 and Huh-7 cell lines ((IC50=5.34 and 6.13 μg/mL, respectively) comparable to that of doxorubicin (DOX) activities. A structure activity relationship (SAR) has been investigated and compounds 4e, 4i, 4m, and 4q were the most promising anticancer agents against tested cell lines. These compounds induced apoptosis in HepG2 and Huh-7 cells through significant activation of caspase 3/7 at all tested concentrations. In conclusion, 4e could be a potent anticancer drug.

Design, Synthesis and Anti-Proliferative Activities of 2,6-Substituted Thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine Derivatives Containing Electrophilic Warheads.

Project description:Thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine as an effective pharmacophore has been extensively studied. However, its 2,6-substituted derivatives are rarely reported. In the present study, eighteen 2,6-substituted thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives containing electrophilic warheads were designed based on the first known Fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 (FGFR4) inhibitor Blu9931. Unexpectedly, all of the derivatives exhibited negligible activity against FGFR4. However, most of the target compounds exhibited antiproliferative activities against four human cancer cell lines, including A431, NCI-H1975, Ramos and SNU-16. Compound 12 showed the most potent antiproliferative activities on the above four cell lines with IC50 values of 1.4 μM, 1.2 μM, 0.6 μM, and 2.6 μM, respectively. Additionally, the antiproliferative activity of 12 against MDA-MB-221 proved that 12 had the selectivity towards certain tumor cell lines. Furthermore, preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis was discussed based on the experimental data.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Pyrimidine Derivatives as Anticancer Agents.

Project description:Anticancer drug resistance is a challenging phenomenon of growing concern which arises from alteration in drug targets. Despite the fast speed of new chemotherapeutic agent design, the increasing prevalence of this phenomenon requires further research and treatment development. Recently, we reported a new aminopyrimidine compound-namely RDS 344-as a potential innovative anticancer agent. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and anti-proliferative activity of new aminopyrimidine derivatives structurally related to RDS 3442 obtained by carrying out substitutions at position 6 of the pyrimidine core and/or on the 2-aniline ring of our hit. The ability to inhibit cell proliferation was evaluated on different types of tumors, glioblastoma, triple-negative breast cancer, oral squamous cell carcinomas and colon cancer plus on human dermal fibroblasts chosen as control of normal cells. The most interesting compound was the N-benzyl counterpart of RDS 3442, namely 2a, that induced a significant decrease in cell viability in all the tested tumor cell lines, with EC50s ranging from 4 and 8 μM, 4-13 times more active of hit. These data suggest a potential role for this class of molecules as promising tool for new approaches in treating cancers of different histotype.

Synthesis, Antitumor Activity, and In Silico Drug Design of New Thieno[2,3-d]Pyrimidine-4-One Derivatives as Nonclassical Lipophilic Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitors.

Project description:Synthesis of a new series of 20 compounds bearing the thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-one scaffold was achieved. The inhibitory activity of these compounds was performed over 60 cell lines of human tumor at single and five dose concentrations. Compounds 20, 22, and 23 exhibited potent growth inhibitions toward the majority of the tested NCI 60 cell lines. Compounds 20 and 23 were the most active compounds with (MG-MID) TGI, GI50, and LC50 values of 16.2, 3.3, 50.1 and 67.7, 6.6, 100, respectively. Also, both compounds showed 7- and 4-fold better activity, respectively, than the standard antitumor agent 5-fluorouracil. Therefore, compounds 20 and 23 were selected to measure their ability to inhibit the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme (DHFR) in comparison to methotrexate (MTX) as a reference drug. Compound 20 was a more potent inhibitor of DHFR (IC50 = 0.20 μM) than MTX (IC50 = 0.22 μM). Molecular modeling studies were performed in the DHFR active site, and it showed compatibility with the results obtained from biological studies. Finally, the results showed that compound 20 is a strong antitumor agent and potent inhibitor of DHFR. In addition, this compound induced cell-cycle arrest in SNB-75 cells in the G2/M phase and the apoptosis process in the Pre-G phase. Compound 20 also increased the level of both caspases-3 and 9 by 11.8- and 50.3-fold, respectively.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione derivatives as eEF-2K inhibitors.

Project description:A small molecule library of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione derivatives 6-16 was synthesized from 6-amino-1,3-disubstituted uracils 18, characterized, and screened for inhibitory activity against eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (eEF-2K). To understand the binding pocket of eEF-2K, structural modifications of the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine were made at three regions (R(1), R(2), and R(3)). A homology model of eEF-2K was created, and compound 6 (A-484954, Abbott laboratories) was docked in the catalytic domain of eEF-2K. Compounds 6 (IC50=420nM) and 9 (IC50=930nM) are found to be better molecules in this preliminary series of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogs. eEF-2K activity in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells is significantly reduced by compound 6, to a lesser extent by compound 9, and is unaffected by compound 12. Similar inhibitory results are observed when eEF-2K activity is stimulated by 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-DOG) treatment, suggesting that compounds 6 and 9 are able to inhibit AMPK-mediated activation of eEF-2K to a notable extent. The results of this work will shed light on the further design and optimization of novel pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogs as eEF-2K inhibitors.

Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modeling Study and Biological Evaluation of New N'-Arylidene-pyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carbohydrazide Derivatives as Anti-HIV-1 Agents.

Project description:In an attempt to identify potential new agents that are active against HIV-1, a series of novel pyridopyrimidine-5-carbohydrazide derivatives featuring a substituted benzylidene fragment were designed and synthesized based on the general pharmacophore of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. The cytotoxicity profiles of these compounds showed no significant toxicity to human cells and they exhibited anti-HIV-1 activity with EC50 values ranging from 90 to 155 µM. Compound 5j bearing 4-methylbenzylidene group was found to be the most active compound with EC50 = 90 µM and selectivity index, CC50/EC50 = 6.4. Molecular modeling studies indicated the capacity of compound 5j to interact with two Mg2+ cations and several residues that are important in HIV-1 integrase inhibition. These findings suggested that pyridopyrimidine-5-carbohydrazide scaffold might become a promising template for development of novel anti-HIV-1 agents.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Benzothiazole Derivatives as Selective PI3K? Inhibitors.

Project description:A novel series of PI3K? (Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases beta subunit) inhibitors with the structure of benzothiazole scaffold have been designed and synthesized. All the compounds have been evaluated for inhibitory activities against PI3K?, ?, ?, ? and mTOR (Mammalian target of rapamycin). Two superior compounds have been further evaluated for the IC50 values against PI3Ks/mTOR. The most promising compound 11 displays excellent anti-proliferative activity and selectivity in multiple cancer cell lines, especially in the prostate cancer cell line. Docking studies indicate the morpholine group in 2-position of benzothiazole is necessary for the potent antitumor activity, which confirms our design is reasonable.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines as Microtubule Targeting Agents.

Project description:A series of eleven 4-substituted 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines were designed and synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated. Synthesis involved the Gewald reaction to synthesize ethyl 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate ring, and SNAr reactions. Compound 4 was 1.6- and ~7-fold more potent than the lead compound 1 in cell proliferation and microtubule depolymerization assays, respectively. Compounds 4, 5 and 7 showed the most potent antiproliferative effects (IC50 values < 40 nM), while compounds 6, 8, 10, 12 and 13 had lower antiproliferative potencies (IC50 values of 53-125 nM). Additionally, compounds 4-8, 10 and 12-13 circumvented Pgp and βIII-tubulin mediated drug resistance, mechanisms that diminish the clinical efficacy of paclitaxel (PTX). In the NCI-60 cell line panel, compound 4 exhibited an average GI50 of ~10 nM in the 40 most sensitive cell lines. Compound 4 demonstrated statistically significant antitumor effects in a murine MDA-MB-435 xenograft model.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a new thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-based urea derivative with potential antitumor activity against tamoxifen sensitive and resistant breast cancer cell lines.

Project description:Breast cancer (BC) and endocrine resistance to chemotherapy are challenging problems where angiogenesis plays fundamental roles. Thus, targeting of VEGFR-2 signalling pathway has been an attractive approach. In this study, we synthesised a new sorafenib analogue, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine based urea derivative, KM6. It showed 65% inhibition of VEGF2 tyrosine kinase activity and demonstrated a potential antitumor activity in TAM-resistant, LCC2, and its parental MCF7 BC cells. KM6 retained the sensitivity of LCC2 through upregulation of key enzymes of apoptosis and proteins of cell death including caspases 3, 8, 9, P53, BAX/BCL-2 ratio and LDH in media. It downregulated mRNA expression of Ki-67, survivin, Akt, and reduced levels of ROS and glucose uptake. Moreover, KM6 reduced the levels of inflammation markers PGE2, COX2, IL-1β and IL6 and metastasis markers MMP-2 and MMP-9. In conclusion, KM6 is a promising compound for ER + and TAM-resistant BC with many potential antitumor and polypharmacological mechanisms.
