Synthesis and biological evaluation of new derivatives of thieno-thiazole and dihydrothiazolo-thiazole scaffolds integrated with a pyrazoline nucleus as anticancer and multi-targeting kinase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Deregulation of various protein kinases is considered as one of the important factors resulting in cancer development and metastasis, thus multi-targeting the kinase family is one of the most important strategies in current cancer therapy. This context represents the design and synthesis of two sets of derivatives bearing a pyrazoline-3-one ring conjugated either with a thieno[3,2-d]thiazole or with a dihydrothiazolo[4,5-d]thiazole scaffold via an NH linker, 3a-d and 5a-d respectively, using the pyrazolinone-thiazolinone derivative 1 as a key precursor. All the newly synthesized compounds were assessed in vitro for their anticancer activity against two cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and HepG-2). The safety profile of the most active cytotoxic candidates 1 and 3c was further examined against the normal cell line WI-38. The compounds 1 and 3c were further evaluated as multi-targeting kinase inhibitors against EGFR, VEGFR-2 and BRAF^V600E, exhibiting promising suppression impact. Additionally, the latter compounds were investigated for their impact on cell cycle and apoptosis induction potential in the MCF-7 cell line. Moreover, the antimicrobial activity of all the new analogues was evaluated against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and fungi in comparison to streptomycin and amphotericin-B as reference drugs. Interestingly, both 1 and 3c showed the most promising microbial inhibitory effect. Molecular docking studies showed promising binding patterns of the compounds 1 and 3c with the prospective targets, EGFR, VEGFR-2 and BRAF^V600E. Finally, additional toxicity studies were performed for the new derivatives which showed their good drug-like properties and low toxicity risks in humans.

Project description:Noscapine, a phthalide isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the opium poppy Papaver somniferum, is traditionally being used as an anticough drug. With a safe in vitro toxicological profile, noscapine and its analogues have been explored to show microtubule-regulating properties and anticancer activity against various mammalian cancer cell lines. Since then, our group and other research groups worldwide are working on developing new noscapinoids to tap its potential as the leading drug molecule. With our continuing efforts, we herein present synthesis and anticancer evaluation of a series of imidazothiazole-coupled noscapinoids 7a-o and 11a-o. Natural ?-noscapine was N-demethylated to nornoscapine 4 and then reacted with 4-(chloromethyl) thiazole-2-amine. The resultant noscapinoid 5 was coupled with various bromomethyl ketones 10a-o to give N-imidazothiazolyl noscapinoids 7a-o in very good yields. Similarly, natural ?-noscapine 1 was O-demethylated using sodium azide/sodium iodide, reacted with 4-(chloromethyl)thiazole-2-amine, and coupled with bromomethyl ketones 10a-o to result in O-imidazothiazolyl noscapinoids 11a-o. All the new analogues 7a-o and 11a-o were fully characterized by their NMR and mass spectral analysis. In vitro cytotoxicity assay was performed for compounds 5, 7a-o, 9, and 11a-o against four different cancer cell lines: HeLa (cervical), MIA PaCa-2 (pancreatic), SK-N-SH (neuroblastoma), and DU145 (prostate cancer). Among these conjugates, 5, 7a, 9, 11b, 11c, 11e, and 11o showed potent cytotoxicity with low IC50 values. Further, flow cytometry analysis revealed that MIA PaCa-2 cells treated with these compounds induced cell cycle G2/M-phase arrest. In addition, Western blot analysis revealed that the cells treated with these conjugates accumulate tubulin in the soluble fraction and also elevate cyclin-B1 protein expression levels. Moreover, the conjugates also increased the expression of caspase-3 and PARP levels which is indicative of apoptotic cell death. In silico molecular docking studies showed several noncovalent interactions like van der Waals and hydrogen-bonding with tubulin protein and with good binding energy. The results indicated that these noscapine analogues may serve as novel compounds that can possibly inhibit tubulin protein and can be considered for further optimization as a clinical candidate for treating pancreatic cancer.
