A series of analogues of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) sulindac 1 were synthesised tethered to nitric oxide (NO) donating functional groups. Sulindac shows antiproliterative effects against immortal PC3 cell lines. It was previously demonstrated that the effect can be enhanced when tethered to NO releasing groups such as nitrate esters, furoxans and sydnonimines. To explore this approach further, a total of fifty-six sulindac-NO analogues were prepared and they were evaluated as NO-releasing cytotoxic agents against prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines. Compounds 1k and 1n exhibited significant cytotoxic with IC50 values of 6.1 ± 4.1 and 12.1 ± 3.2 μM, respectively, coupled with observed nitric oxide release.

Page/Page column 36, (2008/06/13)
The present invention describes novel nitrosated and/or nitrosylated prostaglandins, and novel compositions comprising at least one nitrosated and/or nitrosylated prostaglandin, and, optionally, at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous levels of endothelium-derived relaxing factor, stimulates endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase, and/or at least one vasoactive agent. The present invention also provides novel compositions comprising at least one prostaglandin and at least one S-nitrosothiol compound, and, optionally, at least one vasoactive agent. The prostaglandin is preferably a prostaglandin E1 compound, more preferably alprostadil, and the S-nitrosothiol compound is preferably S-nitrosoglutathione. The present invention also provides methods for treating or preventing sexual dysfunctions in males and females, for enhancing sexual responses in males and females, and for treating or preventing cerebrovascular disorders, cardiovascular disorders, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), glaucoma, peptic ulcers or for inducing abortions. The compounds and/or compositions of the present invention can also be provided in the form of a pharmaceutical kit.
