Human cathepsin B is a cysteine protease with many house-keeping functions, such as intracellular proteolysis within lysosomes. Its increased activity and expression have been strongly associated with many pathological processes, including cancers. We present here the design and synthesis of novel derivatives of nitroxoline as inhibitors of cathepsin B. These were prepared either by omitting the pyridine part, or by modifying positions 2, 7, and 8 of nitroxoline. All compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit endopeptidase and exopeptidase activities of cathepsin B. For the most promising inhibitors, the ability to reduce extracellular and intracellular collagen IV degradation was determined, followed by their evaluation in cell-based in vitro models of tumor invasion. The presented data show that we have further defined the structural requirements for cathepsin B inhibition by nitroxoline derivatives and provided additional knowledge that could lead to non-peptidic compounds with usefulness against tumor progression.

A critical question in natural product-based drug discovery is how to translate the product into drug-like molecules with optimal pharmacological properties. The generation of natural product-inspired scaffold diversity is an effective but challenging strategy to investigate the broader chemical space and identify promising drug leads. Extending our efforts to the natural product evodiamine, a diverse library containing 11 evodiamine-inspired novel scaffolds and their derivatives were designed and synthesized. Most of them showed good to excellent antitumor activity against various human cancer cell lines. In particular, 3-chloro-10-hydroxyl thio-evodiamine (66c) showed excellent in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy with good tolerability and low toxicity. Antitumor mechanism and target profiling studies indicate that compound 66c is the first-in-class triple topoisomerase I/topoisomerase II/tubulin inhibitor. Overall, this study provided an effective strategy for natural product-based drug discovery. (Figure Presented).
