Semisynthetic and SAR Studies of Amide Derivatives of Neocrotocembraneic Acid as Potential Antitumor Agents.

ABSTRACT: A series of novel amide derivatives of cembranoid neocrotocembraneic acid were designed and synthesized. The antiproliferative activities of these derivatives were evaluated against three human tumor cell lines (the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa, chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562 and leukemia multidrug-resistant cell line K562/A02). Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to good activity against all three cancer cell lines. Particularly, compound 8a exhibited more potent antiproliferative activity than the reference drug etoposide against drug-resistant cell line K562/A02, indicating that it possessed a great potential for further development as a multidrug resistance modulator by structural modification.

Caffeic Acid Phosphanium Derivatives: Potential Selective Antitumor, Antimicrobial and Antiprotozoal Agents.

Project description:Caffeic acid (CA) is one of the most abundant natural compounds present in plants and has a broad spectrum of beneficial pharmacological activities. However, in some cases, synthetic derivation of original molecules can expand their scope. This study focuses on the synthesis of caffeic acid phosphanium derivatives with the ambition of increasing their biological activities. Four caffeic acid phosphanium salts (CAPs) were synthesized and tested for their cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal, and amoebicidal activity in vitro, with the aim of identifying the best area for their medicinal use. CAPs exhibited significantly stronger cytotoxic activity against tested cell lines (HeLa, HCT116, MDA-MB-231 MCF-7, A2058, PANC-1, Jurkat) in comparison to caffeic acid. Focusing on Jurkat cells (human leukemic T cell lymphoma), the IC50 value of CAPs ranged from 0.9 to 8.5 μM while IC50 of CA was >300 μM. Antimicrobial testing also confirmed significantly higher activity of CAPs against selected microbes in comparison to CA, especially for Gram-positive bacteria (MIC 13-57 μM) and the yeast Candida albicans (MIC 13-57 μM). The anti-Acanthamoeba activity was studied against two pathogenic Acanthamoeba strains. In the case of A. lugdunensis, all CAPs revealed a stronger inhibitory effect (EC50 74-3125 μM) than CA (>105 µM), while in A. quina strain, the higher inhibition was observed for three derivatives (EC50 44-291 μM). The newly synthesized quaternary phosphanium salts of caffeic acid exhibited selective antitumor action and appeared to be promising antimicrobial agents for topical application, as well as potential molecules for further research.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of tryptamine salicylic acid derivatives as potential antitumor agents.

Project description:A series of tryptamine salicylic acid derivatives were synthesized and their antiproliferative activity against MGC-803, MCF-7, HepG2, A549 and HeLa cell lines was evaluated. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) study revealed that different substitutions of the C5 and C3'-C5' positions have certain effects on the anti-proliferation activity. The growth assay revealed that N-[2-(5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethyl]-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzamide (E20) showed the most potent and broad-spectrum anticancer inhibition of all the cell lines evaluated, and was only more potent than 5-Fu for the gastric cancer cell line. Preliminary studies indicated that compound E20 could inhibit colony formation and migration of MGC-803 cells. The flow cytometry (FCM) results showed that compound E20 arrested the cell cycle in the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis of MGC-803 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the western blot results showed that E20 can down-regulate the expression of hexokinase 2. Our studies suggest that the framework of N-[2-(5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethyl]-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzamide may be consider as a new type of chemical for designing effective anti-cancer drugs targeting gastric cancer cells.

Synthesis and Evaluation of New Quinoxaline Derivatives of Dehydroabietic Acid as Potential Antitumor Agents.

Project description:A series of new quinoxaline derivatives of dehydroabietic acid (DAA) were designed and synthesized as potential antitumor agents. Their structures were characterized by IR, ¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and MS spectra and elemental analyses. All the new compounds were screened for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, SMMC-7721 and HeLa) and noncancerous human hepatocyte cells (LO2). A cytotoxic assay manifested that compound 4b showed the most potent cytotoxic activity against the three cancer cell lines, with IC50 values of 1.78 ± 0.36, 0.72 ± 0.09 and 1.08 ± 0.12 μM, respectively, and a substantially lower cytotoxicity to LO2 cells (IC50: 11.09 ± 0.57 μM). Moreover, the cell cycle analysis suggested that compound 4b caused cell cycle arrest of SMMC-7721 cells at the G0/G1 phase. In a Hoechst 33258 staining assay, compound 4b caused considerable morphological changes of the nuclei of SMMC-7721 cells, correlated with cell apoptosis. In addition, an Annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining assay confirmed that compound 4b could induce the apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Discovery and SAR Study of Quinoxaline-Arylfuran Derivatives as a New Class of Antitumor Agents.

Project description:A novel class of quinoxaline-arylfuran derivatives were designed, synthesized, and preliminarily evaluated for their antiproliferative activities in vitro against several cancer cell lines and normal cells. The representative derivative QW12 exerts a potent antiproliferative effect against HeLa cells (IC50 value of 10.58 μM), through inducing apoptosis and triggering ROS generation and the accumulation of HeLa cells in vitro. Western blot analysis showed that QW12 inhibits STAT3 phosphorylation (Y705) in a dose-dependent manner. The BLI experiment directly demonstrated that QW12 binds to the STAT3 recombination protein with a KD value of 67.3 μM. Furthermore, molecular docking investigation showed that QW12 specifically occupies the pY+1 and pY-X subpocket of the SH2 domain, thus blocking the whole transmission signaling process. In general, these findings indicated that the study of new quinoxaline-aryfuran derivatives as inhibitors of STAT3 may lead to new therapeutic medical applications for cancer in the future.

Design, synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of novel betulonic acid-diazine derivatives as potential antitumor agents.

Project description:With the purpose to improve antiproliferative activity, 26 new betulonic acid-diazine derivatives were designed and synthesized from betulinic acid. The anticancer activity of these semi-synthetic compounds was evaluated by MTT assay in both tumor cell lines and normal cell line. The results indicated that majority of new compounds exhibited improved antitumor activity compared with the parent compound betulonic acid. Compound BoA2C, in particular, had the most significant action with IC50 value of 3.39 μM against MCF-7 cells, while it showed lower cytotoxicity on MDCK cell line than cisplatin. Furthermore, we discovered that BoA2C strongly increased MCF-7 cell damage mostly by influencing arginine and fatty acid metabolism. In addition, the structure-activity relationships were briefly discussed. The results of this study suggested that the introduction of different diazines at C-28 could selectively inhibit different kinds of cancer cells and might be an effective way to synthesize potent anticancer lead compound from betulonic acid.

Clindamycin Derivatives: Unveiling New Prospects as Potential Antitumor Agents.

Project description:This study delves into the exploration of Clindamycin derivatives, specifically compounds 3 and 3e, to unveil their antitumor potential by employing a multidisciplinary approach. Screening a repertoire of 200 Clindamycin-associated targets pinpointed the Family A G-protein-coupled receptor as a prominent antitumor candidate. Subsequent analyses unearthed 16 pertinent antitumor proteins, with compound 3 exhibiting robust affinity towards a specific protein via stable hydrogen bonding. Molecular dynamics simulations underscored the adrenergic receptor β as a pivotal target, primarily situated in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. These revelations hint towards compound 3's potential to bolster natural defense mechanisms against tumors by modulating immune responses within the tumor microenvironment, thus paving the way for novel avenues in antitumor drug development. Furthermore, employing the MTT assay, we evaluated the anti-HepG2 cell activity of compounds 3 and 3e, with 5-fluorouracil serving as the control drug. Results revealed that compound 3 exhibited significant differences (p < 0.01) across all concentrations (2.5, 5, 10 μg/mL) compared to the control group, paralleled by the pronounced differences (p < 0.01) observed with 5-fluorouracil.

Indole-Acrylonitrile Derivatives as Potential Antitumor and Antimicrobial Agents-Synthesis, In Vitro and In Silico Studies.

Project description:A series of 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-acrylonitrile derivatives, 2a-x, 3, 4a-b, 5a-d, 6a-b, and 7, were synthesized as potential antitumor and antimicrobial agents. The structures of the prepared compounds were evaluated based on elemental analysis, IR, 1H- and 13NMR, as well as MS spectra. X-ray crystal analysis of the representative 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-acrylonitrile 2l showed that the acrylonitrile double bond was Z-configured. All compounds were screened at the National Cancer Institute (USA) for their activities against a panel of approximately 60 human tumor cell lines and the relationship between structure and in vitro antitumor activity is discussed. Compounds of interest 2l and 5a-d showed significant growth inhibition potency against various tumor cell lines with the mean midpoint GI50 values of all tests in the range of 0.38-7.91 μM. The prominent compound with remarkable activity (GI50 = 0.0244-5.06 μM) and high potency (TGI = 0.0866-0.938 μM) against some cell lines of leukemia (HL-60(TB)), non-small cell lung cancer (NCI-H522), colon cancer (COLO 205), CNS cancer (SF-539, SNB-75), ovarian cancer ((OVCAR-3), renal cancer (A498, RXF 393), and breast cancer (MDA-MB-468) was 3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-2-(1-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)acrylonitrile (5c). Moreover, the selected 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-acrylonitriles 2a-c and 2e-x were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens as well as Candida albicans. Among them, 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)acrylonitrile (2x) showed the most potent antimicrobial activity and therefore it can be considered as a lead structure for further development of antimicrobial agents. Finally, molecular docking studies as well as drug-likeness and ADME profile prediction were carried out.

Antitumor agents 288: design, synthesis, SAR, and biological studies of novel heteroatom-incorporated antofine and cryptopleurine analogues as potent and selective antitumor agents.

Project description:Novel heteroatom-incorporated antofine and cryptopleurine analogues were designed, synthesized, and tested against a panel of five cancer cell lines. Two new S-13-oxo analogues (11 and 16) exhibited potent cell growth inhibition in vitro (GI(50): 9 nM and 20 nM). Interestingly, both compounds displayed improved selectivity among different cancer cell lines, in contrast to the natural products antofine and cryptopleurine. Mechanism of action (MOA) studies suggested that R-antofine promotes dysregulation of DNA replication during early S phase, while no similar effects were observed for 11 and 15 on corresponding replication initiation complexes. Compound 11 also showed greatly reduced cytotoxicity against normal cells and moderate antitumor activity against HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma xenograft in mice without overt toxicity.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of 1,2,3-triazole, amide, and ester-based benzothiazole derivatives as potential molecular probes for tau protein.

Project description:The pyridinyl-butadienyl-benzothiazole (PBB3 15) scaffold was used to develop tau ligands with improved in vitro and in vivo properties for imaging applications to provide insights into the etiology and characteristics of Alzheimer's disease. The photoisomerisable trans-butadiene bridge of PBB3 was replaced with 1,2,3-triazole, amide, and ester moieties and in vitro fluorescence staining studies revealed that triazole derivatives showed good visualisation of Aβ plaques, but failed to detect the neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in human brain sections. However, NFTs could be observed using the amide 110 and ester 129. Furthermore, the ligands showed low to high affinities (Ki = >1.5 mM-0.46 nM) at the shared binding site(s) with PBB3.
