- Bioisosteric replacement of an acylureido moiety attached to an indolin-2-one scaffold with a malonamido or a 2/4-pyridinoylamido moiety produces a selectively potent Aurora-B inhibitor
-
Bioisosteric replacement of acylureido moiety in 6-acylureido-3- pyrrolylmethylidene-2-oxoindoline derivatives resulted in a series of malonamido derivatives with indolin-2-one scaffold (11-14). Further conformational restrictions of the malonamido moiety led to 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine (21-25) or a 4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (31-36). 4-Oxo-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were more potent Aurora B inhibitors than their 2-oxo-1,2- dihydropyridine counterparts and demonstrated cytotoxicities against A549 and HepG2 cells in the submicromolar range. In A549 cells, 31h decreased phosphorylation of histone H3, triggered polyploidy, induced expression of pro-apoptotic Fas and FasL with subsequent activation of caspase 8, resulting into apoptosis. In a Huh7-xenograft mouse model, 31h demonstrated potent in vivo efficacy with a daily dose of 5 mg/kg.

- 5-alkyl-2-(alkylthio)-6-(2,6-dihalophenylmethyl)-3,4-dihydropyrimidin- 4(3H)-ones: Novel potent and selective dihydro-alkoxy-benzyl-oxopyrimidine derivatives
-
Molecular modeling analysis of compounds belonging to the recently published series of dihydro-alkoxy-benzyl-oxopyrimidines (DABOs), such as S- DABOs and DATNOs, gave support to the design of new 2,6-disubstituted benzyl- DABO derivatives as highly potent
