- Synthesis and in vitro anti-bladder cancer activity evaluation of quinazolinyl-arylurea derivatives
-
Based on the structural modification of molecular-targeted agent sorafenib, a series of quinazolinyl-arylurea derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activities against six human cancer cell lines. Compared with other cell lines tested, T24 was more sensitive to most compounds. Compound 7j exhibited the best profile with lower IC50 value and favorable selectivity. In this study, we focused on 7j-induced death forms of T24 cells and tried to elucidate the reason for its potent proliferative inhibitory activity. Compound 7j treatment could trigger three different cell death forms including apoptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy; which form would occur depended on the concentrations and incubation time of 7j: (1) Lower concentrations within the initial 8 h of 7j treatment led to apoptosis-dependent death. (2) Ferroptosis and autophagy occurred in the case of higher concentrations combining with extended incubation time through effectively regulating the Sxc?/GPx4/ROS and PI3K/Akt/mTOR/ULK1 pathways, respectively. (3) The above death forms were closely associated with intracellular ROS generation and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential induced by 7j. In molecular docking and structure-activity relationship analyses, 7j could bind well to the active site of the corresponding receptor glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4). Compound 7j could be a promising lead for molecular-targeted anti-bladder cancer agents’ discovery.

- Discovery of novel anti-angiogenesis agents. Part 8: Diaryl thiourea bearing 1H-indazole-3-amine as multi-target RTKs inhibitors
-
VEGFR-2, TIE-2, and EphB4 are essential for both angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Herein, we designed and prepared three classes of multi-target inhibitors based on the extensive sequence homology along the kinase domain of angiogenic RTKs. Biological evaluation indicated that these multi-target inhibitors exhibited considerable potential as novel anti-angiogeneic and anticancer agents. Among them, a diaryl thiourea bearing 1H-indazole-3-amine (16a) displayed the most potent RTK inhibition and excellent selectivity. It also showed inhibition on viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and anti-proliferation against a broad spectrum of cancer cells. Therefore, 1H-indazole-3-amine could serve as a promising hinge binding group for multi-target inhibitors of VEGFR-2, Tie-2, and EphB4.

- Discovery of novel diaryl urea derivatives bearing a triazole moiety as potential antitumor agents
-
Herein, we report a novel series of diaryl urea derivatives bearing a triazole moiety, from which potent antitumor agents have been identified. With a modified triazole, most compounds showed high level activity in both cellular and enzymatic assays, accompanied with a suitable ClogD7.4 value. The most active compound, 13i, effectively suppressed proliferation of HT-29, H460 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells, with IC50 values of 0.90, 0.85 and 1.54 μM, respectively. Compound 13i also exhibited significant inhibition of tyrosine kinases including c-Kit, RET and FLT3. Furthermore, compound 13i could obviously induce apoptosis of HT-29 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The study of structure-activity relationships also revealed that a hydrophilic tail at the 4-position of the triazole was crucial for high activity of the compound.

- Discovery of novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors. Part 5: Exploration of diverse hinge-binding fragments via core-refining approach
-
Pathological angiogenesis plays a critical role in numerous diseases including malignancy. VEGFR-2 is the central regulators in angiogenesis and has become a promising target for anticancer drug design. We have identified a novel biphenyl-aryl urea incorporated with salicyladoxime (BPS-7) as potent VEGFR-2 inhibitor. As a continuation to our previous research, various aromatic-heterocyclic were introduced as hinge-binding fragment via a core-refining approach. Interestingly, many compounds exhibited comparable VEGFR-2 inhibition to Sorafenib. In particular, 12e and 12o displayed excellent VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.50 nM and 0.79 nM, respectively. Several title compounds showed considerable antiproliferative activity against A549 and SMMC-7721 cells. In addition, molecular docking was performed to rationalize the efficiency of the better compounds. These results will be instructive for further inhibitor design and optimization.

- (Tosylimino)phenyl-λ3-iodane as a reagent for the synthesis of methyl carbamates via hofmann rearrangement of aromatic and aliphatic carboxamides
-
A new, mild procedure for the Hofmann rearrangement of aromatic and aliphatic carboxamides using (tosylimino)phenyl-λ3-iodane, PhINTs, as a reagent is reported. Because of the mild reaction conditions, this method is particularly useful for the Hofmann rearrangement of substituted benzamides, which usually afford complex reaction mixtures with other hypervalent iodine oxidants. The mild reaction conditions and high selectivity in the reaction of carboxamides with PhINTs allow the isolation of the initially formed labile isocyanates or their subsequent conversion to stable carbamates by treatment with alcohols.

- Structural optimization of a CXCR2-directed antagonist that indirectly inhibits γ-secretase and reduces Aβ
-
Amyloid β (Aβ), a key molecule in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by sequential proteolysis via β- and γ-secretases. Because of their role in generation of Aβ, these enzymes have emerged as important therapeutic targets for AD. In the case of γ-secretase, progress has been made towards designing potent inhibitors with suitable pharmacological profiles. Direct γ-secretase inhibitors are being evaluated in clinical trials and new strategies are being explored to block γ-secretase activity indirectly as well. In this regard, we have previously reported an indirect regulation of γ-secretase through antagonism of CXCR2, a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). We demonstrated that N-(2-hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl)-N′-(2-bromophenyl)urea (SB225002), a selective inhibitor of CXCR2 also plays a role in an indirect inhibition of γ-secretase. Furthermore, we reported a ～5-fold difference in the selective inhibition of APP versus Notch processing via γ-secretase following treatment with SB225002. Herein we describe the synthesis and optimization of SB225002. By determination of the structure-activity relationship (SAR), we derived small molecules that inhibit Aβ40 production with IC50 values in the sub-micromolar range in a cell-based assay and also validated the potential of CXCR2 as a new target for therapeutic intervention in AD.

- A new class of inhibitors of secretory phospholipase A2: enolized 1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione-5-carboxamides
-
Enolized 1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione-5-carboxamides a were identified as a new class of inhibitors of secretory phospholipase A2 from human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (h-PMN PLA2).Among the more than 30 compounds synthesized, the most potent inhibitors (IC50 0.6-10 μM) were found in the series of 2,4-disubstituted phenyl analogues of a.Compound 1a was selected for evaluation of its biological profile.This substance potently inhibited secretory PLA2s from several sources other than human PMNs, with a clear preference for group II over group I PLA2, whereas humancytosolic PLA2 and phospholipase C were not significantly affected.Inhibition of h-PMN PLA2 was calcium-dependent.In intact mammalian cells stimulated in vitro, the release of arachidonic acid and the generation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes were inhibited at concentrations compatible with inhibition of PLA2 as an underlying mechanism.In animal models in vivo (carragheenan oedema, adjuvant arthritis, pertussis pleurisy) 1a showed antiinflammatory activity, although the effect was rather weak compared with standard reference compounds. secretory human PMN phospholipase A2 / enolized 1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione-5-carboxamide inhibitors / cellular eicosanoid synthesis / in vivo antiinflammatory activity / molecular modelling / structure-activity relationship
