As the continuation of our work on the development of tubulin inhibitors with potential anticancer activities, novel bis-substituted aromatic amide dithiocarbamate derivatives were designed by contacting bis-substituted aryl scaffolds (potential anti-tubulin fragments) with N-containing heterocycles (potential anti-tubulin fragments) in one hybrid using the anticancer dithioformate unit as the linker. The antiproliferative activity against three digestive tract tumor cells was evaluated and preliminary structure activity relationships were summarized. Among these compounds, compound 20q exhibited most potent antiproliferative activity against MGC-803, HCT-116, Kyse30 and Kyse450 cells with IC50 values of 0.084, 0.227, 0.069 and 0.078 μM, respectively. In further studies, compound 20q was identified as a novel tubulin inhibitor targeting the colchicine binding site. Compound 20q could inhibit the microtubule assembly and disrupt cytoskeleton in Kyse30 and Kyse450 cells. The results of molecular docking suggested that compound 20q could tightly bind into the colchicine binding site of tubulin by hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Compound 20q dose-dependently inhibited the cell growth and colony formation, effectively arrested cells at the G2/M phase and induce mitochondrial apoptosis in Kyse30 and Kyse450 cells. In addition, Compound 20q could regulate the expression of G2/M phase and mitochondrial apoptosis related proteins. Collectively, compound 20q was here reported as a novel tubulin inhibitor with potential anticancer activities.

Hippo signalling pathway plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In this work, we identified an N-aryl sulphonamide-quinazoline derivative, compound 9i as an anti-gastric cancer agent, which exhibited potent antiproliferative ability with IC50 values of 0.36 μM (MGC-803 cells), 0.70 μM (HCT-116 cells), 1.04 μM (PC-3 cells), and 0.81 μM (MCF-7 cells), respectively and inhibited YAP activity by the activation of p-LATS. Compound 9i was effective in suppressing MGC-803 xenograft tumour growth in nude mice without obvious toxicity and significantly down-regulated the expression of YAP in vivo. Compound 9i arrested cells in the G2/M phase, induced intrinsic apoptosis, and inhibited cell colony formation in MGC-803 and SGC-7901 cells. Therefore, compound 9i is to be reported as an anti-gastric cancer agent via activating the Hippo signalling pathway and might help foster a new strategy for the cancer treatment by activating the Hippo signalling pathway regulatory function to inhibit the activity of YAP.

Tubulin polymerisation inhibitors exhibited an important role in the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. Herein, we reported the medicinal chemistry efforts leading to a new series of benzothiazoles by a bioisosterism approach. Biological testing revealed that compound 12a could significantly inhibit in vitro tubulin polymerisation of a concentration dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 2.87 μM. Immunofluorescence and EBI competition assay investigated that compound 12a effectively inhibited tubulin polymerisation and directly bound to the colchicine-binding site of β-tubulin in PC3 cells. Docking analysis showed that 12a formed hydrogen bonds with residues Tyr357, Ala247 and Val353 of tubulin. Importantly, it displayed the promising antiproliferative ability against C42B, LNCAP, 22RV1 and PC3 cells with IC50 values of 2.81 μM, 4.31 μM, 2.13 μM and 2.04 μM, respectively. In summary, compound 12a was a novel colchicine site tubulin polymerisation inhibitor with potential to treat prostate cancer.
