Peptide-chemistry methods (symmetric anhydrides and activated esters) and the Mannich reaction were used to prepare various conjugates of amino acids with 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[c]chromen-6-one in which the amino acids are bound to the coumarin by the C- or N-terminus.

For the early diagnosis of cancer, leading to a better chance of full recovery, marker genes whose expression is already altered in precancerous lesions are desirable, and the tumor-suppressor gene FHIT is one candidate. The gene product, FHIT protein, has a unique dinucleoside triphosphate hydrolase (AP3Aase) activity, and in this study, we designed and synthesized a series of FHIT fluorescent probes utilizing this activity. We optimized the probe structure for high and specific reactivity with FHIT and applied the optimized probe in a screening assay for FHIT inhibitors. Screening of a compound library with this assay identified several hits. Structural development of a hit compound afforded potent FHIT inhibitors. These inhibitors induce apoptosis in FHIT-expressing cancers via caspase activation. Our results support the idea that FHIT binders, no matter whether inhibitors or agonists of AP3Aase activity, might be promising anticancer agents.
