Synthesis and evaluation of N-(benzofuran-5-yl)aromaticsulfonamide derivatives as novel HIF-1 inhibitors that possess anti-angiogenic potential

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) as a key mediator in tumor metastasis, angiogenesis, and poor patient prognosis has been recognized as an important cancer drug target. A novel series of N-(benzofuran-5-yl)aromaticsulfonamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as HIF-1 inhibitor. Among these compounds, 7q exhibited specific inhibitory effects on HIF-1 by downregulating the expression of HIF-1α under hypoxic conditions. It inhibited the HIF-1 transcriptional activity (IC50?=?12.5?±?0.7?μM) and secretion of VEGF (IC50?=?18.8?μM) in MCF-7 cells. Meanwhile, it also significantly suppressed hypoxia-induced migration of HUVEC cells in nontoxic concentrations. Additionally, tube formation assay demonstrated its anti-angiogenesis activity. Finally, the in vivo study indicated that compound 7q could retard angiogenesis in CAM model. These findings supported the HIF-1 inhibitory effect and anti-angiogenic potential of this class of compounds as HIF-1 inhibitor.

Discovery and optimization of new benzofuran derivatives against p53-independent malignant cancer cells through inhibition of HIF-1 pathway

p53-independent malignant cancer is still severe health problem of human beings. HIF-1 pathway is believed to play an important role in the survival and developing progress of such cancers. In the present study, with the aim to inhibit the proliferation of p53-independent malignant cells, we disclose the optimization of 6a, the starting compound which is discovered in the screening of in-house compound collection. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) is summarized. The most potent derivative 8d, inhibits the proliferation of both p53-null and p53-mutated cells through inhibition of HIF-1 pathway. Our findings here provide a new chemotype in designing potent anticancer agent especially against those p53-independent malignant tumors.

Synthesis, antiproliferative activities and in vitro biological evaluation of novel benzofuransulfonamide derivatives

In a cell-based screen of novel antiproliferative agents, the hit compound 1a, which bears a benzofuransulfonamide scaffold, exhibited broad-spectrum antiproliferative activities against a panel of tumor cell lines. The promising in vitro antiproliferative activity and structural novelty of 1a prompted us to investigate the synthesis of five analogs of 1a and test their antiproliferative activities. The most potent analogue, 1h, exhibited enhanced antiproliferative activities compared with the parent 1a, and exhibited an IC50 value against NCI-H460 cells of 4.13 μM compared with 4.52 μM for the positive control cisplatin. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that 1h induces significant levels of apoptosis in NCI-H460 cells in vitro at low micromolar concentrations. These results suggest that 1a and analogs based on its benzofuransulfonamide scaffold may constitute a novel class of antiproliferative agents, which deserve further study.
