Novel Thiazolo[5,4-b]phenothiazine Derivatives: Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and In Vitro Evaluation of Antiproliferative Activity against Human Leukaemia.

ABSTRACT: The molecular frame of the reported series of new polyheterocyclic compounds was intended to combine the potent phenothiazine and benzothiazole pharmacophoric units. The synthetic strategy applied was based on oxidative cyclization of N-(phenothiazin-3-yl)-thioamides and it was validated by the preparation of new 2-alkyl- and 2-aryl-thiazolo[5,4-b]phenothiazine derivatives. Optical properties of the series were experimentally emphasized by UV-Vis absorption/emission spectroscopy and structural features were theoretically modelled using density functional theory (DFT). In vitro activity as antileukemic agents of thiazolo[5,4-b]phenothiazine and N-(phenothiazine-3-yl)-thioamides were comparatively evaluated using cultivated HL-60 human promyelocytic and THP-1 human monocytic leukaemia cell lines. Some representatives proved selectivity against tumour cell lines, cytotoxicity, apoptosis induction, and cellular metabolism impairment capacity. 2-Naphthyl-thiazolo[5,4-b]phenothiazine was identified as the most effective of the series by displaying against THP-1 cell lines a cytotoxicity close to cytarabine antineoplastic agent.

Project description:The quinoxaline core is a promising scaffold in medicinal chemistry. Multiple quinoxaline derivatives, such as the topoisomerase IIβ inhibitor XK-469 and the tissue transglutaminase 2 inhibitor GK-13, have been evaluated for their antiproliferative activity. Previous work reported that quinoxaline derivatives bearing an oxirane ring present antiproliferative properties against neuroblastoma cell lines SK-N-SH and IMR-32. Likewise, quinoxalines with an arylethynyl group displayed promising antineoplastic properties against glioblastoma and lung cancer cell lines, U87-MG and A549 respectively. Here, 40 new quinoxaline derivatives bearing an oxirane ring were synthesized using a tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) strategy and a Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. Each reaction with TDAE furnished a pair of diastereoisomers cis and trans. These new compounds formed two series according to the substitution of position 2 on the quinoxaline core, with chlorine or phenylacetylene respectively. Each of these isomers was evaluated for antiproliferative activity against neuroblastoma cell lines SK-N-SH and IMR-32 by MTT assay. All cell viability assay results were analyzed using R programming, as well as a statistical comparison between groups of compounds. Our evaluation showed no difference in drug sensitivity between the two neuroblastoma cell lines. Moreover, trans derivatives were observed to display better activities than cis derivatives, leading us to conclude that stereochemistry plays an important role in the antiproliferative activity of these compounds. Further support for this hypothesis is provided by the lack of improvement in antineoplastic activity following the addition of the phenylacetylene moiety, probably due to steric hindrance. As a result, compounds with nitrofuran substituents from the TDAE series demonstrated the highest antiproliferative activity with IC50 = 2.49 ± 1.33 μM and IC50 = 3.96 ± 2.03 μM for compound 11a and IC50 = 5.3 ± 2.12 μM and IC50 = 7.12 ± 1.59 μM for compound 11b against SK-N-SH and IMR-32, respectively. Furthermore, an in silico study was carried out to evaluate the mechanism of action of our lead compounds and predict their pharmacokinetic properties.
