Conversion of Natural Narciclasine to Its C-1 and C-6 Derivatives and Their Antitumor Activity Evaluation: Some Unusual Chemistry of Narciclasine.

ABSTRACT: During the search for a general, efficient route toward the synthesis of C-1 analogues of narciclasine, natural narciclasine was protected and converted to its C-1 enol derivative using a novel semi-synthetic route. Attempted conversion of this material to its triflate in order to conduct cross-coupling at C-1 resulted in a triflate at C-6 that was successfully coupled with several functionalities. Four novel compounds were fully deprotected after seven steps and subjected to evaluation for cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines. Only one derivative showed moderate activity compared to that of narciclasine. Spectral and physical data are provided for all new compounds.

New Alkoxy Flavone Derivatives Targeting Caspases: Synthesis and Antitumor Activity Evaluation.

Project description:The antitumor activity of natural flavonoids has been exhaustively reported. Previously it has been demonstrated that prenylation of flavonoids allows the discovery of new compounds with improved antitumor activity through the activation of caspase-7 activity. The synthesis of twenty-five flavonoids (4⁻28) with one or more alkyl side chains was carried out. The synthetic approach was based on the reaction with alkyl halide in alkaline medium by microwave (MW) irradiation. The in vitro cell growth inhibitory activity of synthesized compounds was investigated in three human tumor cell lines. Among the tested compounds, derivatives 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 18 revealed potent growth inhibitory activity (GI50 < 10 μM), being the growth inhibitory effect of compound 13 related with a pronounced caspase-7 activation on MCF-7 breast cancer cells and yeasts expressing human caspase-7. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model predicted that hydrophilicity, pattern of ring substitution/shape, and presence of partial negative charged atoms were the descriptors implied in the growth inhibitory effect of synthesized compounds. Docking studies on procaspase-7 allowed predicting the binding of compound 13 to the allosteric site of procaspase-7.

An Insight into the Medicinal Chemistry Perspective of Macrocyclic Derivatives with Antitumor Activity: A Systematic Review.

Project description:The profound pharmacological properties of macrocyclic compounds have led to their development as drugs. In conformationally pre-organized ring structures, the multiple functions and stereochemical complexity provided by the macrocycle result in high affinity and selectivity of protein targets while maintaining sufficient bioavailability to reach intracellular locations. Therefore, the construction of macrocycles is an ideal choice to solve the problem of "undruggable" targets. Inspection of 68 macrocyclic drugs on the market showed that 10 of them were used to treat cancer, but this structural class still has been poorly explored within drug discovery. This perspective considers the macrocyclic compounds used for anti-tumor with different targets, their advantages and disadvantages, and the various synthetic methods of them.

Antitumor Activity of New Olivacine Derivatives.

Project description:Olivacine is an alkaloid-containing pyridocarbazole structure. It is isolated from the bark of the evergreen timber tree, Aspidosperma olivaceum. Its well-documented anticancer activity led to the synthesis of new derivatives, which are semisynthetic and fully synthetic pyridocarbazoles. This study aimed to evaluate the potential antineoplastic activity of four newly synthesized olivacine derivatives. Multidrug resistance is a common phenomenon causing failure in the chemotherapy of many tumors. It is mainly related to increased function of P-glycoprotein, an efflux pump removing cytostatic out of the cells. The cell lines used in the study were colorectal carcinoma cell lines: LoVo (doxorubicin-sensitive) and LoVo/DX (doxorubicin-resistant). The NHDF cell line was used to assess cell viability. First, the cells were incubated with olivacine derivatives. In the next step, the following assays were performed: DCF-DA assay, MTT assay, rhodamine 123 assay, detection of apoptosis, proliferation inhibition-mitotic index. The tested compounds showed higher antineoplastic potential and lower toxicity than the reference compound ellipticine. The results indicate that the new olivacine derivatives are good candidates for future anticancer drugs.

Antitumor activity of bis-indole derivatives.

Project description:This paper reports the synthesis of compounds formed by two indole systems separated by a heterocycle (pyridine or piperazine). As a primary screening, the new compounds were submitted to the National Cancer Institute for evaluation of antitumor activity in the human cell line screen. The pyridine derivatives were far more active than the piperazine derivatives. For the study of the mechanism of action, the most active compounds were subjected to COMPARE analysis and to further biological tests including proteasome inhibition and inhibition of plasma membrane electron transport. The compound bearing the 5-methoxy-2-indolinone moiety was subjected to the first in vivo experiment (hollow fiber assay) and was active. It was therefore selected for the second in vivo experiment (human tumor xenograft in mice). In conclusion we demonstrated that this approach was successful, since some of the compounds described are much more active than the numerous, so far prepared and tested 3-indolylmethylene-2-indolinones.

Synthesis and Antitumor Activity Evaluation of Novel Echinatin Derivatives with a 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Moiety.

Project description:A series of novel echinatin derivatives with 1,3,4-oxadiazole moieties were designed and synthesized. Most of the newly synthesized compounds exhibited moderate antiproliferative activity against the four cancer cell lines. Notably, Compound T4 demonstrated the most potent activity, with IC50 values ranging from 1.71 µM to 8.60 µM against the four cancer cell lines. Cell colony formation and wound healing assays demonstrated that T4 significantly inhibited cell proliferation and inhibited migration. We discovered that T4 exhibited moderate binding affinity with the c-KIT protein through reverse docking. The results were effectively validated through subsequent molecular docking and c-KIT enzyme activity assays. In addition, Western blot analysis revealed that T4 inhibits the phosphorylation of downstream proteins of c-KIT. The results provide valuable inspiration for exploring novel insights into the design of echinatin-related hybrids as well as their potential application as c-KIT inhibitors to enhance the efficacy of candidates.

Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modeling and Antitumor Evaluation of Novel Indolyl-Pyrimidine Derivatives with EGFR Inhibitory Activity.

Project description:Scaffolds hybridization is a well-known drug design strategy for antitumor agents. Herein, series of novel indolyl-pyrimidine hybrids were synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo for their antitumor activity. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of all compounds was obtained against MCF-7, HepG2, and HCT-116 cancer cell lines, as well as against WI38 normal cells using the resazurin assay. Compounds 1-4 showed broad spectrum cytotoxic activity against all these cancer cell lines compared to normal cells. Compound 4g showed potent antiproliferative activity against these cell lines (IC50 = 5.1, 5.02, and 6.6 μM, respectively) comparable to the standard treatment (5-FU and erlotinib). In addition, the most promising group of compounds was further evaluated for their in vivo antitumor efficacy against EAC tumor bearing mice. Notably, compound 4g showed the most potent in vivo antitumor activity. The most active compounds were evaluated for their EGFR inhibitory (range 53-79%) activity. Compound 4g was found to be the most active compound against EGFR (IC50 = 0.25 µM) showing equipotency as the reference treatment (erlotinib). Molecular modeling study was performed on compound 4g revealed a proper binding of this compound inside the EGFR active site comparable to erlotinib. The data suggest that compound 4g could be used as a potential anticancer agent.

Design, Synthesis, and Antitumor Activity of Erlotinib Derivatives.

Project description:Nineteen erlotinib derivatives bearing different 1,2,3-triazole moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their potential against different cancer cell lines. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed via 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HR MS. Preliminary antitumor activity assay results suggested that some compounds showed remarkable inhibitory activity against different cancer cell lines including the corresponding drug-resistant ones. Among these compounds, 3d was the most promising one with an IC50 of 7.17 ± 0.73 μM (KYSE70TR), 7.91 ± 0.61 μM (KYSE410TR), 10.02 ± 0.75 μM (KYSE450TR), 5.76 ± 0.3 3 μM (H1650TR), and 2.38 ± 0.17 μM (HCC827GR). A preliminary mechanism study suggested that compound 3d suppressed cancer cell proliferation through the EGFR-TK pathway.

Multifunctional Anti-Alzheimer's Disease Effects of Natural Xanthone Derivatives: A Primary Structure-Activity Evaluation.

Project description:Background: A series of α-Mangostin (α-M) derivatives were designed and synthesized. α-M and four analogues were evaluated for their multifunctional anti-Alzheimer's disease (anti-AD) effects on fibrillogenesis, microglial uptake, microglial degradation, and anti-neurotoxicity of Aβ, as well as LPS-induced neuroinflammation. The differences in bioactivities were analyzed to understand the structure-activity relationship for further modifications. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the anti-AD effects of α-M and elucidate its structure-activity relationship by comparing difference between α-M and several analogues. Methods: Aβ fibrillogenesis was detected by Thioflavin T fluorometric assay. The levels of Aβ1-42 and inflammatory cytokines were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Neuron viability was examined by the CCK-8 assay. The morphology of ZO-1 of bEnd.3 cultured in BV-2-conditioned medium was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining. Results: Aβ fibrillogenesis was significantly inhibited by co-incubation with α-M, Zcbd-2 or Zcbd-3. α-M, Zcbd-2, Zcbd-3, and Zcbd-4 decreased the levels of Aβ1-42 and inflammatory cytokines, and promoted Aβ uptake, degradation and anti-inflammation effects inflammation in microglia. α-M and Zcbd-3 protected neuron viability from Aβ-induced neurotoxicity, and preserved tight junction integrity of bEnd.3 against LPS-induced neuroinflammation. Conclusion: Zcbd-3 acted as α-M almost in all effects. The structure-activity analysis indicated that the 3-methyl-2-butenyl group at C-8 is essential for the bioactivity of α-M, while modifying the double hydroxylation at the C-2 position may improve the multifunctional anti-AD effects.

Antitumor Activity of PEGylated and TEGylated Phenothiazine Derivatives: Structure–Activity Relationship

Project description:The paper aims to investigate the antitumor activity of a series of phenothiazine derivatives in order to establish a structure–antitumor activity relationship. To this end, PEGylated and TEGylated phenothiazine have been functionalized with formyl units and further with sulfonamide units via dynamic imine bonds. Their antitumor activity was monitored in vitro against seven human tumors cell lines and a mouse one compared to a human normal cell line by MTS assay. In order to find the potential influence of different building blocks on antitumor activity, the antioxidant activity, the ability to inhibit farnesyltransferase and the capacity to bind amino acids relevant for tumor cell growth were investigated as well. It was established that different building blocks conferred different functionalities, inducing specific antitumor activity against the tumor cells.
