- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 2,4-disubstituted quinazoline derivatives targeting H1975 cells via EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway
-
In order to find new and highly effective anti-tumor drugs with targeted therapeutic effects, a series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives containing N-phenylacetamide structure were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against four human cancer cell lines (H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803) using MTT assay. The results showed that the compound 19e had the most potent antiproliferative activity against H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803 cell lines. At the same time, compound 19e could significantly inhibit the colony formation and migration of H1975 cells. Compound 19e also arrested the H1975 cell cycle in the G1 phase and mediated cell apoptosis, promoted the accumulation of ROS in H1975 cells. Furthermore, compound 19e exerted antitumor effect in vitro by reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and increasing the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and p53. Mechanistically, compound 19e could significantly decreased the phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream protein PI3K in H1975 cells. Which indicated that compound 19e targeted H1975 cell via interfering with EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that compound 19e could bind into the active pocket of EGFR. Those work suggested that compound 19e would have remarkable implications for further design of anti-tumor agents.

- Rationally Designed Small-Molecule Inhibitors Targeting an Unconventional Pocket on the TLR8 Protein-Protein Interface
-
Rational designs of small-molecule inhibitors targeting protein-protein interfaces have met little success. Herein, we have designed a series of triazole derivatives with a novel scaffold to specifically intervene with the interaction of TLR8 homomerization. In multiple assays, TH1027 was identified as a highly potent and specific inhibitor of TLR8. A successful solution of the X-ray crystal structure of TLR8 in complex with TH1027 provided an in-depth mechanistic insight into its binding mode, validating that TH1027 was located between two TLR8 monomers and recognized as an unconventional pocket, thereby preventing TLR8 from activation. Further biological evaluations showed that TH1027 dose-dependently suppressed the TLR8-mediated inflammatory responses in both human monocyte cell lines, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and rheumatoid arthritis patient specimens, suggesting a strong therapeutic potential against autoimmune diseases.

- Design and discovery of quinazoline- and thiourea-containing sorafenib analogs as EGFR and VEGFR-2 dual TK inhibitors
-
Both EGFR and VEGFR-2 play a critical role in tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis, and targeting EGFR and VEGFR-2 simultaneously represents a promising approach to cancer treatment. In this work, a series of novel quinazoline- and thiourea-containing sorafenib analogs (10a–v) were designed and synthesized as EGFR and VEGFR-2 dual TK inhibitors. Their in vitro enzymatic inhibitory activities against EGFR and VEGFR-2, and antiproliferative activities against HCT-116, MCF-7 and B16 cell lines were evaluated and described. Most of the compounds showed potent activities against both cell lines and TK kinases. Compounds 10b and 10q which exhibited the most potent inhibitory activities against EGFR (IC50 = 0.02 μM and 0.01 μM, respectively), VEGFR-2 (IC50 = 0.05 μM and 0.08 μM, respectively), and good antiproliferative activities, also displayed competitive anti-tumor activities than sorafenib in vivo by B16 melanoma xenograft model test.

- Discovery of novel anti-angiogenesis agents. Part 6: Multi-targeted RTK inhibitors
-
Angiogenesis is modulated by a multitude of pro-angiogenic factors including VEGFR-2, Tie-2, and EphB4. Moreover, their crosstalk also had been well elaborated. We have identified several diarylurea-based VEGFR-2 inhibitors as potential anti-angiogenesis agents. As a continuation to our previous research, two series of diaryl malonamide and diaryl thiourea derivatives have been developed as multiplex VEGFR-2/Tie-2/EphB4 inhibitors. Interestingly, the biological evaluation indicated that several compounds bearing trifluoromethyl or trifluoromethoxyl exhibited promising multiplex inhibition against angiogenesis-related VEGFR-2, Tie-2, and EphB4. The representative compound (18a) displayed both potent multi-targeted RTK inhibition and considerable antiproliferative activities against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EA.hy926). These results will contribute to the discovery of novel muti-targeted anti-angiogenesis agents.

- 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.

- Synthesis of isothiocyanates by reaction of amines with phenyl chlorothionoformate via one-pot or two-step process
-
A facile and efficient synthesis of isothiocyanates from amines is described. This method involves the reaction of amines with phenyl chlorothionoformate in the presence of solid sodium hydroxide by either a one-pot process or a two-step approach. The one-pot process is useful for preparing alkyl and electron-rich aryl isothiocyanates, whereas the two-step approach is more versatile, working very well not only for alkyl and electron-rich aryl isothiocyanates, but also for highly electron-deficient aryl and heterocyclic isothiocyanates.

- Isothiazoles as active-site inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase
-
Isothiazole analogs were discovered as a novel class of active-site inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase. The best compound has an IC50 of 200 nM and EC50 of 100 nM, which is a significant improvement over the starting inhibitor (1). The X-ray complex structure of 1 with HCV NS5B was obtained at a resolution of 2.2 A, revealing that the inhibitor is covalently linked with Cys 366 of the 'primer-grip'. Furthermore, it makes considerable contacts with the C-terminus, β-loop, and more importantly, to the active-site of the enzyme. The uniqueness of this binding mode offers a new insight for the rational design of novel inhibitors for HCV NS5B polymerase.
