Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives containing 1,8-naphthyridine-4-one fragment

In this study, a series of pyrrolo [2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives containing 1,8-naphthyridine-4-one fragment were synthesized and their biological activity were tested. Most of the target compounds displayed moderate to excellent activity against one or more cancer cell lines and low activity against human normal cell LO2 in vitro. The most promising compound 51, of which the IC50 values were 0.66 μM, 0.38 μM and 0.44 μM against cell lines A549, Hela and MCF-7, shown more remarkable activity and better apoptosis effect than the positive control Cabozantinib. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) indicated that double-EWGs (such as R3 = 2-Cl-4-CF3) on the terminal phenyl rings was a key factor in improving the biological activity. In addition, the further research on compound 51 mainly included c-Met kinase activity and selectivity, concentration dependence, and molecular docking.

Design, synthesis and anticancer evaluation of 6,7-disubstituted-4-phenoxyquinoline derivatives bearing 1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamide moiety as novel multi-target TKIs

Giving the fact that the disorders of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are characteristics of various cancers, we assumed that developing novel multi-target drugs might have an advantage in treating the complex cancers. Taking the multi-target c-Met inhibitor Foretinib as the leading compound, we discovered a novel series of 6,7-disubstituted-4-phenoxyquinoline derivatives bearing 1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamide moiety with the help of molecular docking. Among them, the most promising compound 33 showed a prominent activity against Hela (IC50 = 0.21 μM), A549 (IC50 = 0.39 μM), and MCF-7 (IC50 = 0.33 μM), which were 3.28–4.82 times more active than that of Foretinib. Additionally, compound 33 dose dependently induced apoptosis by arresting A549 cells at G1 phase. Enzymatic assays and docking analyses were further confirmed that compound 33 was a multi-target inhibitor with the strong potencies against c-Met (IC50 = 11.77 nM), MEK1 (IC50 = 10.71 nM), and Flt-3 (IC50 = 22.36 nM). In the A549 cells mediated xenograft mouse model, compound 33 inhibited the tumor growth (TGI = 64%) without obvious toxicity, establishing compound 33 as a promising candidate for cancer therapy.

Synthesis, bioevaluation and molecular dynamics of pyrrolo-pyridine benzamide derivatives as potential antitumor agents in vitro and in vivo

A total of 27 novel pyrrolo-pyridine benzamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated. 14 of these derivatives were superior to Cabozantinib in cytotoxic assay, and compound 21 exhibited the best antitumor effect in vitro and vivo. Apoptosis activity was implemented by compound 21 on A549 cells, especially for the greatly enhanced late apoptosis compared with the control group (8.13% vs 4.49%), which was superior to that of Cabozantinib (6.89%). Similarly, 21 stagnated the A549 cells arrest in the two cell distribution phases (G0/G1 and G2/M) in dose-dependence manner. In addition, compound 21 could inhibit c-Met expression compared with Cabozantinib at the same concentration (10 μM). The results of molecular docking and dynamics study demonstrated that compound 21 formed four key hydrogen bonds with c-Met kinase. And key amino acids Met1160, Phe1134 and Phe1223 played a key functional role in the binding free energy. Furthermore, 21 exhibited high antitumor efficacy in tumor growth inhibition rate, which was superior to Cabozantinib (64.5% vs 47.9%). Overall, compound 21 could be considered as a promising antitumor agent.
