A series of novel indole-1,2,4-triazole derivatives have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potential tubulin polymerization inhibitors. The top hit 12, bearing the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety, exhibited substantial anti-proliferative activity against HepG2, HeLa, MCF-7, and A549 cells in vitro with IC50 values of 0.23 ± 0.08 μM, 0.15 ± 0.18 μM, 0.38 ± 0.12 μM, and 0.30 ± 0.13 μM, respectively. It also inhibited tubulin polymerization with the IC50 value of 2.1 ± 0.12 μM, which was comparable with that of the positive controls. Furthermore, compound 12 regulated the expression of cell cycle-related proteins (Cyclin B1, Cdc25c, and Cdc2) and apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, Bcl-x, and Mcl-1). Mechanistically, compound 12 could arrest cell cycle at the G2/M phase, thus induce an increase of apoptotic cell death. In addition, molecular docking hinted the possible interaction mode of compound 12 into the colchicine binding site of tubulin heterodimers. According to the applications of microtubule-targeting agents in both direct and synergistic cancer therapies, we hope this work might be of significance for future researches.

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.

Abstract: A new series of bis indolyl tri keto diazo compounds and 3,5-bis(3′-indolyl) triazinones were designed and synthesized as anticancer agents. Their anticancer activity was screened in vitro towards four different human cancer cell lines like HeLa, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and A549 cell lines. Among them, compounds 17a and 17b showed potent cytotoxicity with inhibition (IC50) values of 4.6 and 1.3?μM on Human Cervical cancer cell line, respectively. The in silico simulation studies using ADT 1.5.6 tools revealed unique interactions of indole ring of compound 17b with colchicines active site residue Tyr312 could be a valid reason behind its maximum potency when compared to remaining compounds in responsible of its higher activity.
