The screening of a >9000 compound library of synthetic DNA binding molecules for selective binding to the consensus sequence of the transcription factor LEF-1 followed by assessment of the candidate compounds in a series of assays that characterized functional activity (disruption of DNA-LEF-1 binding) at the intended target and site (inhibition of intracellular LEF-1-mediated gene transcription) resulting in a desired phenotypic cellular change (inhibit LEF-1-driven cell transformation) provided two lead compounds: lefmycin-1 and lefmycin-2. The sequence of screens defining the approach assures that activity in the final functional assay may be directly related to the inhibition of gene transcription and DNA binding properties of the identified molecules. Central to the implementation of this generalized approach to the discovery of DNA binding small molecule inhibitors of gene transcription was (1) the use of a technically nondemanding fluorescent intercalator displacement (FID) assay for initial assessment of the DNA binding affinity and selectivity of a library of compounds for any sequence of interest, and (2) the technology usedto prepare a sufficiently large library of DNA binding compounds.
Synthesis, molecular modeling, and evaluation of nonphenolic indole analogs of mycophenolic acid

Based on the promising activity of an indole-3-carboxamide derivative, a nonphenolic analog of mycophenolic acid (MPA), we report herein the synthesis of a compound containing two important features for the activity of MPA, the ring methoxy and methyl. The synthesis was accomplished using two strategies; a method dependent on stepwise building of the hexenoate side chain followed by the indolecarboxamide ring system, and a convergent route that depended on 1,3-sigmatropic rearrangement as a key step. Docking experiments on both Chinese Hamster and Human Type-II inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) showed that this compound has potential binding interactions with the NAD site. The analogs showed no activity against MCF7-S, MCF7-R, or IGR-OV1 cancer cells.

Nitrobenzocyclophosphamides as potential prodrugs for bioreductive activation: Synthesis, stability, enzymatic reduction, and antiproliferative activity in cell culture

In efforts to obtain potential anticancer prodrugs for gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy using Eschericia coli nitroreductase, a series of four benzocyclophosphamide analogues were designed and synthesized incorporating a strategically placed nitro group in a position para to the benzylic carbon for reductive activation. All four analogues were found to be stable in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 and 37 °C and were good substrates of E. coli nitroreductase with half lives between 7 and 24 min at pH 7.0 and 37 °C. However, only two analogues 6a and 6c, both with a benzylic oxygen in the phosphorinane ring para to the nitro group, showed a modest 33-36-fold enhanced cytotoxicity in E. coli nitroreductase-expressing cells. These results suggest that good substrate activity and the para benzylic oxygen are required for activation by E. coli nitroreductase. Compounds 6a and 6c represent a new structure type for reductive activation and a lead for further modification in the development of better analogues with improved selective toxicity to be used in gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy.
