Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases 1 (ENPP1 or NPP1), is an attractive therapeutic target for various diseases, primarily cancer and mineralization disorders. The ecto-enzyme is located on the cell surface and has been implicated in the control of extracellular levels of nucleotide, nucleoside and (di) phosphate. Recently, it has emerged as a critical phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes cyclic 2′3′- cGAMP, the endogenous ligand for STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes). STING plays an important role in innate immunity by activating type I interferon in response to cytosolic 2′3′-cGAMP. ENPP1 negatively regulates the STING pathway and hence its inhibition makes it an attractive therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we describe the design, optimization and biological evaluation studies of a series of novel non-nucleotidic thioguanine based small molecule inhibitors of ENPP1. The lead compound 43 has shown good in vitro potency, stability in SGF/SIF/PBS, selectivity, ADME properties and pharmacokinetic profile and finally potent anti-tumor response in vivo. These compounds are a good starting point for the development of potentially effective cancer immunotherapy agents.

Thirty-six novel indole-based 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were designed and synthesized through the molecular hybrid strategy. The bioassay results revealed that 9p displayed excellent antiproliferative efficacies in the nanomolar range against HeLa cells. Importantly, the compound exhibited no obvious cytotoxic activity (IC50 > 100 μM) toward HEK-293, a normal human embryonic kidney cell line. Mechanism analysis indicated that 9p significantly arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis in HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner. Further evidence demonstrated that the promising compound effectively inhibited tubulin polymerization with an IC50 value of 8.3 μM, and molecular docking studies revealed that 9p well occupied the colchicine-site in tubulin. The present study highlights that indole-triazole hybrids might be used as a promising scaffold to develop novel tubulin polymerization inhibitors for cancer treatment.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a promising target in immunomodulation of several pathological conditions, especially cancers. Here we present the synthesis of a series of IDO1 inhibitors with the novel isoxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one scaffold. A focused library was prepared using a 6-or 7-step synthetic procedure to allow a systematic investigation of the structure-activity relationships of the described scaffold. Chemistry-driven modifications lead us to the discovery of our best-in-class inhibitors possessing p-trifluoromethyl (23), p-cyclohexyl (32), or p-methoxycarbonyl (20, 39) substituted aniline moieties with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. In addition to hIDO1, compounds were tested for their inhibition of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 and tryptophan dioxygenase, and found to be selective for hIDO1. Our results thus demon-strate a successful study on IDO1-selective isoxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one inhibitors, defining promising chemical probes with a novel scaffold for further development of potent small-molecule immunomodulators.

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) has been considered as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD) because of its compensation capacity to hydrolyze acetylcholine (ACh) and its close association with Aβ deposit. Here, we identified S06-1011 (hBChE IC50 = 16 nM) and S06-1031 (hBChE IC50 = 25 nM) as highly effective and selective BChE inhibitors, which were proved to be safe and long-acting. Candidate compounds exhibited neuroprotective effects and the ability to improve cognition in scopolamine- and Aβ1-42 peptide-induced cognitive deficit models. The best candidate S06-1011 increased the level of ghrelin, a substrate of BChE, which can function as improving the mental mood appetite. The weight gain of the S06-1011-treated group remarkably increased. Hence, BChE inhibition not only plays a protective role against dementia but also exerts a great effect on treating and nursing care.

Based on our prior work, we reported the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of fifty-two new triazolothiadiazine-based analogues of CA-4 and their preliminary structure-activity relationship. Among synthesized compounds, Iab was found to be the most potent derivative possessing IC50 values ranging from single-to double-digit nanomolar in vitro, and also exhibited excellent selectivity over the normal human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells (IC50 > 100 μM). Further mechanistic studies revealed that Iab significantly blocked tubulin polymerization and disrupted the intracellular microtubule network of A549 cells. Moreover, Iab induced G2/M cell cycle arrest by regulation of p-cdc2 and cyclin B1 expressions, and caused cell apoptosis through up-regulating cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-3 expressions, and down-regulating of Bcl-2. Importantly, in vivo, Iab effectively suppressed tumor growth of A549 lung cancers in a xenograft mouse model without obvious signs of toxicity, confirming its potential as a promising candidate for cancer treatment.

As an aspect of our ongoing research on developing novel antiproliferative agents, 31 new triazole–isoindoline hybrids bearing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against four cancer cell lines (HepG2, HeLa, PC-3, and HCT116). Some compounds showed excellent potency, and compared to fluorouracil, the most promising compound 6s exhibited 5.8-, 4.3-, and 1.3- fold increase in activities against HeLa, HepG2, and PC-3 cell lines with IC50 values of 9.7, 10.7, and 16.8?μM, respectively. Moreover, structure–activity relationship studies indicated that a much shorter amide linkage and electron-withdrawing groups at phenyl ring of the acetamide fragment contribute to the antitumour activity.

A series of inhibitors of NF-κB based on ursolic acid (UA) derivatives containing functionalized aniline or amide side chains were synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of NF-κB as well as their antitumor effects. These compounds exhibited significant inhibition activity toward NF-κB with IC50 values at micromolar concentrations in the NCI-H460 lung adenocarcinoma cell line. A docking study of the most active compound 5Y8 revealed key interactions between 5Y8 and the active site of NF-κB in which the functionalized amide moiety at the C-28 position and an ester group at the C-3 position were important for improving the activity. In particular, compound 5Y8 appeared to be the most potent compound against the NCI-H460 cell line, and displayed similar efficiency in drug-sensitive versus drug-resistant cancer cell lines, at least partly, by blocking the NF-κB signaling pathway and inducing apoptosis. Mechanistically, compound 5Y8 might trigger the apoptotic signaling pathway. Thus, the rational design of UA derivatives with functionalized aniline or amide side chains offers significant potential for the discovery of a new class of NF-κB inhibitors with the ability to induce apoptosis and reverse multidrug resistance in the NCI-H460 lung adenocarcinoma cell line.

Novel 6-mercapto-12-phenethyl-quinazolino[3,4-a]quinazolinone derivatives were synthesized through a user-friendly five-step reaction starting from isatoic anhydride. All products were characterized by IR,1H-NMR,13C-NMR spectroscopy, and chemical analysis. All of them were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against two cell lines namely MOLT-4 (human lymphoblastic leukemia) and MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma).

Based on our previous work, a series of novel 3-alkylsulfanyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities. The results indicated that some compounds possessed significant antiproliferative activities against four cancer cell lines, HepG2, HCT116, PC-3, and Hela. Particularly, the most promising compound 8d displayed 184-, 18-, and 17-fold improvement compared to fluorouracil in inhibiting HCT116, Hela and PC-3 cell proliferation with IC50values of 0.37, 2.94, and 31.31 μM, respectively. Most interestingly, the compound did not affect the normal human embryonic kidney cells, HEK-293. Moreover, mechanistic investigation showed that the representative compound 8d induced apoptosis and blocked cell cycle in G2/M phase in Hela cells in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that compound 8d may have potential to be developed as a promising lead for the design of novel anticancer small-molecule drugs.
