Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Selenium-Containing 4-Anilinoquinazoline Derivatives as Novel Antimitotic Agents

Twenty-eight novel selenium-containing 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antiproliferative agents. Most of them had significant in vitro activities, particularly for compounds 23a, 25a, and 25d, which also exhibited the most potent antitumor activities against cisplatin-resistant cell lines and the doxorubicin-resistant cell lines, good selectivity toward normal cells, and obvious inhibitory effect on migration of A549 cell lines. Further mechanistic studies revealed that 23a, 25a, and 25d induce G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in A549 cells, which was associated with a collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential, alterations in the expression of some cell cycle-related and apoptosis-related proteins, and increasing the intracellular ROS level. Finally, compounds 23a, 25a, and 25d also effectively inhibited the tumor growth in the A549 xenograft model without obvious hints of toxicity. Taken together, these in vitro and in vivo results suggest that 23a, 25a, and 25d may be promising microtubule-stabilizing agents and can be used as a promising lead for the development of new antitumor agents.

Synthesis and evaluation of new 2-chloro-4-aminopyrimidine and 2,6-dimethyl-4-aminopyrimidine derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors

Eighteen new 2-chloro-4-aminopyrimidine and 2,6-dimethyl-4-aminopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as tubulin polymerization inhibitor for the treatment of cancer. Among them, compounds 10, 17, 20 and 21 exhibited potent antiproliferative activities against five human cancer cell lines. Microtubule dynamics assay showed that compound 17 could effectively inhibit tubulin polymerization. Molecular docking studies were also carried out to understand the binding pattern. Further mechanism studies revealed that 17 could induce G2/M phase arrest, disrupt the organization of the cellular microtubule network and induce cell apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of in Vitro and in Vivo Anticancer Activity of 4-Substituted Coumarins: A Novel Class of Potent Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitors

In this paper, a series of novel 4-substituted coumarin derivatives were synthesized. Among these compounds 34, 39, 40, 43, 62, 65, and 67 exhibited significant antiproliferative activity toward a panel of tumor cell lines at subnanomolar IC50 values. Compound 65 showed potent antiproliferative ability (IC50 values of 7-47 nM) and retained full activity in multidrug resistant cancer cells. Compound 65 caused G2/M phase arrest and interacted with the colchicine-binding site in tubulin, as confirmed by immune-fluorescence staining, microtubule dynamics assays, and competition assays with N,N′-ethylene-bis(iodoacetamide). Compound 65 reduced the cell migration and disrupted capillary-like tube formation in HUVEC cells. Importantly, compound 65 significantly and dose-dependently reduced tumor growth in four xenografts models including paclitaxel sensitive and resistant ovarian tumors (A2780s and A2780/T), adrmicycin sensitive and resistant breast tumors (MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR), suggesting that compound 65 is a promising novel antimitotic compound for the potential treatment of cancer.

Mono-nitration of aromatic compounds via their nitric acid salts

Aromatic compounds bearing a basic nitrogen atom can be converted to the corresponding nitric acid salts. Mono-nitration of the compounds can be carried out by adding a dichloromethane solution of the salts to sulfuric acid, or by adding acetyl chloride (or trifluoroacetic anhydride) to a dichloromethane solution of the salts. This protocol provides, among other benefits, the most convenient and reliable way for the prevention of over-/under-nitration and is especially suitable for scale-up.
