Page/Page column 50; 52, (2010/10/19)
The present method for determining the efficacy of therapy in the treatment of amyloidosis involves administering to a patient in need thereof a compound of formula (I) or Formula (II) or structures 1-45 and imaging the patient. After said imaging, at lea

2-(4-Aminophenyl)benzothiazoles 1 and their N-acetylated forms have been converted to C and N-hydroxylated derivatives to investigate the role of metabolic oxidation in the mode of action of this series of compounds. 2-(4- Amino-3-methylphenyl)benzothiazole (1a, DF 203, NSC 674495) is a novel and potent antitumor agent with selective growth inhibitory properties against human cancer cell lines. Very low IC50 values (14C]1a derived radioactivity was observed in the sensitive MCF-7 cell line but not in the insensitive MDA-MB-435 cell line. The mechanism of growth inhibition by 1a, which is unknown, may be dependent on the differential metabolism of the drug to an activated form by sensitive cell lines only and its covalent binding to an intracellular protein. However, the 6-hydroxy derivative 6c is not the 'active' metabolite since, like all other C- and N-hydroxylated benzothiazoles examined in this study, it is devoid of antitumor properties in vitro.

A new series of 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazoles substituted in the phenyl ring and benzothiazole moiety has been synthesized by simple, high- yielding routes. The parent molecule 5a shows potent inhibitory activity in vitro in the nanomolar range against a panel of human breast cancer cell lines, but is inactive (IC50 > 30 μM) against other cell types: activity against the sensitive breast lines MCF-7 and MDA 468 is characterized by a biphasic dose-response relationship. Structure-activity relationships derived using these cell types has revealed that activity follows the heterocyclic sequence benzothiazole > benzoxazole >> benzimidazole and that 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazoles bearing a 3'-methyl- 9a, 3'-bromo- 9c, 3'- iodo- 9f, and 3'-chloro-substituent 9i are especially potent and their activity extends to ovarian, lung, and renal cell lines. Four compounds have been evaluated in vivo against human mammary carcinoma models in nude mice. Compound 9a showed the most potent growth inhibition against the ER+ (MCF- 7 and BO) and ER- (MT-1 and MT-3) tumors. Our efforts to identify a pharmacological mechanism of action for these intriguing compounds have not, as yet, been successful.
