Targeting gliomas with triazene-based hybrids: Structure-activity relationship, mechanistic study and stability

Herein we report novel hybrid compounds based on valproic acid and DNA-alkylating triazene moieties, 1, with therapeutic potential for glioblastoma multiforme chemotherapy. We identified hybrid compounds 1d and 1e to be remarkably more potent against glioma and more efficient in decreasing invasive cell properties than temozolomide and endowed with chemical and plasma stability. In contrast to temozolomide, which undergoes hydrolysis to release an alkylating metabolite, the valproate hybrids showed a low potential to alkylate DNA. Key physicochemical properties align for optimal CNS penetration, highlighting the potential of these effective triazene based-hybrids for enhanced anticancer chemotherapy.

Triazene drug metabolites. Part 17: Synthesis and plasma hydrolysis of acyloxymethyl carbamate derivatives of antitumour triazenes

A series of 3-acyloxymethyloxycarbonyl-1-aryl-3-methyltriazenes 5 was synthesised by the sequential reaction of 1-aryl-3-methyltriazenes with (i) chloromethyl chloroformate, (ii) NaI in dry acetone, and (iii) either the silver carboxylate or the carboxylic acids in the presence of silver carbonate. The hydrolysis of these compounds was studied in pH 7.7 isotonic phosphate buffer and in human plasma. Triazene acyloxycarbamates demonstrated their ability to act as substrates for plasma enzymes. For compound 5f, a pH-rate profile was obtained which showed the hydrolysis to involve acid-base catalysis. The reaction is also buffer catalysed. Thus, at pH 7.7, pH-independent, base-catalysed and buffer-catalysed processes all contribute to the hydrolysis reaction. The sensitivity of the hydrolysis reaction to various structural parameters in the substrates indicates that hydrolysis occurs at the ester rather than the carbamate functionality. In plasma, the rates of hydrolysis correlate with partition coefficients, the most lipophilic compounds being the most stable. An aspirin derivative suffers two consecutive enzymatic reactions, the scission of the aspirin acetyl group being followed by the scission of the acyloxy ester group. These results indicate that triazene acyloxymethyl carbamates are prodrugs of the antitumour monomethyltriazenes. They combine chemical stability with a rapid enzymatic hydrolysis, and are consequently good candidates for further prodrug development. Moreover, this type of derivative allowed the synthesis of mutual prodrugs, associating the antitumour monomethyltriazenes with anti-inflammatory NSAIDs as well as with the anticancer agent butyric acid.
