New Organoselenium (NSAIDs-Selenourea and Isoselenocyanate) Derivatives as Potential Antiproliferative Agents: Synthesis,Biological Evaluation and in Silico Calculations

In this study, we report on the synthesis of new organoselenium derivatives, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) scaffolds and Se functionalities (isoselenocyanate and selenourea), which were evaluated against four types of cancer cell line: SW480 (human colon adenocarcinoma cells), HeLa (human cervical cancer cells), A549 (human lung carcinoma cells), MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma cells). Among these compounds, most of the investigated compounds reduced the viability of different cancer cell lines. The most promising compound 6b showed IC₅₀ values under 10 μM against the four cancer cell lines, particularly to HeLa and MCF-7, with IC₅₀ values of 2.3 and 2.5 μM, respectively. Furthermore, two compounds, 6b and 6f, were selected to investigate their ability to induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells via modulation of the expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2) and proapoptotic caspase-3 protein. The redox properties of the NSAIDs-Se derivatives were conducted by 2, 2-didiphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), bleomycin-dependent DNA damage and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like assays. Finally, a molecular docking study revealed that an interaction with the active site of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) predicted the antiproliferative activity of the synthesized candidates. Overall, these results could serve as a promising launch point for further designs of NSAIDs-Se derivatives as potential antiproliferative agents.

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitory Activity and Antiproliferative Potential of New [6]-Shogaol Derivatives

Twenty newly synthesized derivatives of [6]-shogaol (4) were tested for inhibitory activity against histone deacetylases. All derivatives showed moderate to good histone deacetylase inhibition at 100 µM with a slightly lower potency than the lead compound. Most potent inhibitors among the derivatives were the pyrazole products, 5j and 5k, and the Michael adduct with pyridine 4c and benzothiazole 4d, with IC₅₀ values of 51, 65, 61 and 60 µM, respectively. They were further evaluated for isoform selectivity via a molecular docking study. Compound 4d showed the best selectivity towards HDAC3, whereas compound 5k showed the best selectivity towards HDAC2. The potential derivatives were tested on five cancer cell lines, including human cervical cancer (HeLa), human colon cancer (HCT116), human breast adenocarcinoma cancer (MCF-7), and cholangiocarcinoma (KKU100 and KKU-M213B) cells with MTT-based assay. The most active histone deacetylase inhibitor 5j exhibited the best antiproliferative activity against HeLa, HCT116, and MCF-7, with IC₅₀ values of 8.09, 9.65 and 11.57 µM, respectively, and a selective binding to HDAC1 based on molecular docking experiments. The results suggest that these compounds can be putative candidates for the development of anticancer drugs via inhibiting HDACs.     

Design,synthesis, and biological evaluation of diarylpyrazole derivatives as antitumor agents targeting microtubules

A new series of novel diarylpyrazole derivatives as microtubule destabilizers were synthesized and evaluated for the anti-proliferative activities. Anti-proliferative assays were performed on the human cervix adenocarcinoma cell line (HeLa) and human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (SGC-7901), and the compound 9s containing indole ring showed great anti-proliferative activity against HeLa cells with IC₅₀ value of 1.9 ± 0.11 μM. Further biological studies showed that 9s was able to inhibit tubulin polymerization, disrupt the cytoskeleton, block the cell cycle in the G2/M phase, and induce cell apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the results of molecular docking studies showed that compound 9s could bind tightly to the colchicine binding site of tubulin through hydrogen bonding interaction. These preliminary results recommend that compound 9s is likely to be a microtubule destabilizer that deserves further investigation.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of indole-2-carbohydrazides and thiazolidinyl-indole-2-carboxamides as potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors

A new series of N’-(substituted phenyl)-5-chloro/iodo-3-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carbohydrazide (5, 6) and N-[2-(substituted phenyl)-4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl]-5-iodo/chloro-3-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (7, 8) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer properties. Compounds 5a and 6b, selected as prototypes by the National Cancer Institute for screening against the full panel of 60 human tumor cell lines at a minimum of five concentrations at 10-fold dilutions, demonstrated remarkable antiproliferative activity against leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, colon cancer, central nervous system (CNS) cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, renal cancer, and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines with GI₅₀ values < 0.4 μM. A subset of the compounds was then tested for their potential to inhibit tubulin polymerization. Compounds 6f and 6g showed significant cytotoxicity at the nM level on MCF-7 cells and exhibited significant inhibitory activity on tubulin assembly and colchicine binding at about the same level as combretastatin A-4. Finally, docking calculations were performed to identify the binding mode of these compounds. Group 5 and 6 compounds interacted with the colchicine binding site through hydrophobic interactions similar to those of colchicine. These compounds with antiproliferative activity at high nanomolar concentration can serve as scaffolds for the design of novel microtubule targeting agents.     

Synthesis and Biological Activity Evaluation of Coumarin-3-Carboxamide Derivatives

A series of novel coumarin-3-carboxamide derivatives were designed and synthesized to evaluate their biological activities. The compounds showed little to no activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria but specifically showed potential to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. In particular, among the tested compounds, 4-fluoro and 2,5-difluoro benzamide derivatives (14b and 14e, respectively) were found to be the most potent derivatives against HepG2 cancer cell lines (IC₅₀ = 2.62–4.85 μM) and HeLa cancer cell lines (IC₅₀ = 0.39–0.75 μM). The activities of these two compounds were comparable to that of the positive control doxorubicin; especially, 4-flurobenzamide derivative (14b) exhibited low cytotoxic activity against LLC-MK2 normal cell lines, with IC₅₀ more than 100 μM. The molecular docking study of the synthesized compounds revealed the binding to the active site of the CK2 enzyme, indicating that the presence of the benzamide functionality is an important feature for anticancer activity.     

Design,Synthesis and Antitubulin Activity of Novel Podophyllotoxin Derivatives as Potent Anticancer Agent

Twenty novel podophyllotoxin derivatives(1―20) were designed and synthesized. The anti-proliferation activities of these compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines(HepG2, Calu-1 and MCF-7) using podophyllotoxin and Combretastatin A4(CA-4) as positive controls. Among all the compounds, compound 2 displayed more significant anti-proliferation activities against MCF-7 and Calu-1 cell lines and showed lower toxicity towards non-cancer cells. Furthermore, the cell cycle and apoptosis analysis results revealed that compound 2 can cause cell arrest at G2/M phase, leading to cancer cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, it can also reduce the adhesive ability of Calu-1 cells to fibronectin and laminin. The docking simulation results demonstrated that compound 10 can nicely bind to the colchicine site of tubulin. The podophyllotoxin derivatives are worthy to be further investigated to obtain more potent anti-cancer drugs.     

Prediction of new chromene-based inhibitors of tubulin using structure-based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation methods

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the serious problems in cancer research that causes failure in chemotherapy. Chromene-based compounds have been proven to be the novel anti-MDR agents for inhibiting proliferation of tumor cells through tubulin polymerization inhibition of by binding at the colchicine binding site. In this study, we screened a chromene-based database of small molecules using physicochemical, ADMET properties and molecular docking to identify potential hit compounds. In order to validate our hit compounds, molecular dynamics simulations and related analysis were carried out and the results suggest that our hit compounds (PubChem CIDs: 16814409, 17594471, 57367244 and 69899719) can prove to be potential inhibitors of tubulin. The in silico results show that the present hits, like colchicine, effectively suppressed the dynamic instability of microtubules and induced microtubule-depolymerization and cell cycle arrest.     

Design,Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Silico Prediction of Novel Sinomenine Derivatives

Sinomenine is a morphinan alkaloid with a variety of biological activities. Its derivatives have shown significant cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines in many studies. In this study, two series of sinomenine derivatives were designed and synthesized by modifying the active positions C₁ and C₄ on the A ring of sinomenine. Twenty-three compounds were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy (IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and HRMS). They were further evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five cancer cell lines, MCF-7, Hela, HepG2, SW480 and A549, and a normal cell line, Hek293, using MTT and CCK8 methods. The chlorine-containing compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic activity compared to the nucleus structure of sinomenine. Furthermore, we searched for cancer-related core targets and verified their interaction with derivatives through molecular docking. The chlorine-containing compounds 5g, 5i, 5j, 6a, 6d, 6e, and 6g exhibited the best against four core targets AKT1, EGFR, HARS and KARS. The molecular docking results were consistent with the cytotoxic results. Overall, results indicate that chlorine-containing derivatives might be a promising lead for the development of new anticancer agents.
