Synthesis, screening and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies of some glutamine analogues for possible anticancer activity

We described the syntheses, biological activities and QSAR studies of 36 new 5-n-substituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamines 6-41 with different substitutions. These compounds were designed as structural analogues of most reactive amino acid, 'glutamine' (GLN), especially in the tumor cells. They present the new basic lateral chains at R5 position as well as different substitutions at 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ positions on the benzene ring. The synthesized compounds have been tested for antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice using percentage inhibition of tumor weight as inhibitory parameter. In order to elucidate the structural requirements for antitumor activity, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies have been performed using extra thermodynamic model of Hansch. QSAR equations showed that the electronic parameter (σ) on the aromatic ring system, steric parameter (Es) and to some extent Sterimol length of the substituent (L) on the aliphatic side chain correlate significantly with the antitumor activity. Resonance factor occupies the major electronic contribution on the aromatic ring system to the activity.

Syntheses, biological evaluation and QSAR study on antitumor activity of 1,5-N,N′-disubstituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamamides

We have reported [unpublished data] the synthesis and QSAR of 5-substituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamines which have shown the importance of steric factor on the aliphatic chain. N-Phthalyl isoglutamine, having the substitution at position 1 of the glutamic acid moiety, is the metabolite of recently approved thalidomide for different types of tumors by US FDA. Based on these, 36 new 1,5-N,N′-disubstituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamamides were synthesized, as tools for further elucidation of the structural requirements for antitumor activity. All the synthesized compounds were tested for antitumor activity against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice using tumor weight as inhibitory parameter. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies of these analogues revealed that the electron donating groups on the phenyl ring are found to be mandatory for the activity which was also proved by the negative coefficient of indicator parameter I3, for NO2 group on the phenyl ring. Molecular volume (MV) and steric factor at R5 position also plays a role in ligand-receptor interactions.
