Two macrocyclic peptides 1a and 1b were synthesized directly from ε-aminoquinolinecarboxylic acid 2a and 2b, respectively. The preorganization of the uncyclized intermediates mediated by hydrogen bonding assisted the cyclization. The structures of 1a and 1b were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Solid state structure of 1a was investigated by single crystal X-ray studies. Their aggregation behaviors in solution were studied by both variable concentration and temperature 1H NMR experiments.

Metastasis is the cause of 90% of mortality in cancer patients. For metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), the standard-of-care drug therapies only palliate the symptoms but are ineffective, evidenced by a low survival rate of ~11%. T-cell factor (TCF) transcription is a major driving force in CRC, and we have characterized it to be a master regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT transforms relatively benign epithelial tumor cells into quasi-mesenchymal or mesenchymal cells that possess cancer stem cell properties, promoting multidrug resistance and metastasis. We have identified topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) as a DNA-binding factor required for TCF-transcription. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic analysis of TOP2A ATP-competitive inhibitors that prevent TCF-transcription and modulate or reverse EMT in mCRC. Unlike TOP2A poisons, ATP-competitive inhibitors do not damage DNA, potentially limiting adverse effects. This work demonstrates a new therapeutic strategy targeting TOP2A for the treatment of mCRC and potentially other types of cancers.
