A series of nine novel thiazole linked chalcones, (E)-3-(4-methyl-2-(4(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thiazol-5-yl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one derivatives 7–15 were synthesized. To establish the structure–activity relationship (SAR), furthermore, the corresponding, ring-closed pyrimidine analogs 17–23 were synthesized. The derivatives thus obtained were evaluated for their anti-cancer activity against three genetically different colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. Thiazole derivatives 7, 9, and10 showed anti-cancer activity with GI50 values ranging from 0.19 to 100 μM. Importantly, compounds 7 and 10 outperformed the standard drug cisplatin in the tested cell lines and thus show promise for further optimization. Some of pyrimidine derivatives retain activity comparable to cisplatin in the HT-29 cell line, e.g. compounds 17 and 18 with IC50 of 25?μM, however, none of these compounds demonstrated improved antiproliferative activity as compared with the starting thiazole, thus the enone linker was critical for obtaining more active compounds in this series.

Mitochondria are pivotal energy production sources for cells to maintain necessary metabolism activities. Targeting dysfunctional mitochondrial features has been a hotspot for mitochondrial-related disease researches. Investigation with cancerous mitochondrial metabolism is a continuing concern within tumor therapy. Herein, we set out to assess the anti-cancer activities of a novel family of TPP-thiazole derivatives based on our earlier research on mitochondrial targeting agents. Specifically, we designed and synthesized a series of TPP-thiazole derivatives and revealed by the MTT assay that most synthesized compounds effectively inhibited three cancer cell lines (HeLa, PC3 and MCF-7). After structure modifications, we explored the SAR relationships and identified the most promising compound R13 (IC50 of 5.52 μM) for further investigation. In the meantime, we performed ATP production assay to assess the selected compounds inhibitory effect on HeLa cells energy production. The results displayed the test compounds significantly restrained ATP production of cancer cells. Overall, we have designed and synthesized a series of compounds which exhibited significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells and effectively inhibited mitochondrial energy production.
