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.

A series of ten novel 2,5-bis(indolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were designed and synthesized. All these compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines namely A549, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and HeLa using MTT reduced assay. Among them, compound 12e exhibited good cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cell line with IC50 value of 1.8 μM and it was identified as a promising drug lead when compared to the standard drug doxorubicin (IC50 value 0.98 μM). Compound, 12h exhibited better antitumor activity against three cancer cell lines i.e., lung (A549), breast (MCF-7) and cervical (HeLa) with IC50 values of 3.3 μM, 2.6 μM and 6.34 μM respectively. The impact of these compounds on colchicine binding site of tubulin polymer was carefully investigated using molecular docking studies and interpretations between actives and inactive were explained.

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.

In recent years, indole-indazolyl hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives with strong cell growth inhibition and apoptosis induction characteristics are being strongly screened for their cancer chemo-preventive potential. In the present study, N-methyl and N,N-dimethyl bis(indolyl)hydrazide-hydrazone analog derivatives were designed, synthesized and allowed to evaluate for their anti-proliferative and apoptosis induction potential against cervical (HeLa), breast (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and lung (A549) cancer cell lines relative to normal HEK293 cells. The MTT assay in conjunction with mitochondrial potential assays and the trypan blue dye exclusion were employed to ascertain the effects of the derivatives on the cancer cells. Further, mechanistic studies were conducted on compound 14a to understand the biochemical mechanisms and functional interactions with various signaling pathways triggered in HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Compound 14a induced apoptosis via caspase independent pathway through the participation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) such as extracellular signal related kinase (ERK) and p38 as well as p53 pathways. It originates the activation of pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bak and Mcl-1s and also strongly induced the generation of reactive oxygen species. In downstream signaling pathway, activated p53 protein interacted with MAPK pathways, including SAPK/c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK), p38 and ERK kinases resulting in apoptotic cell death. The involvement of MAPK cascades such as p38, ERK and p38 on compound 14a induced apoptotic cell death was evidenced by the fact that the inclusion of specific inhibitors of p38, ERK1/2 and JNK MAPK (SB2035809, PD98059 and SP600125) prevented the compound 14a towards induced apoptosis. The results clearly showed that MAP kinase cascades were crucial for apoptotic response in compound 14a induced cellular killing and were dependent on p53 activity. Based on the results, compound 14a was identified as a promising candidate for cancer therapeutics and these findings furnish a basis for further in vivo experiments on anti-proliferative activity.

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.

A series of 2-arylamino-5-(indolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 6a-v were prepared and studied for their anticancer activity against selected human cancer cell lines. The reaction of indolylhydrazides 3a-h with a variety of aryl isothiocyanates 4 afforded the key intermediate thiosemicarbazides 5a-v, which upon treatment with acetyl chloride produced the 2-arylamino-5-(indolyl)-1,3,4- thiadiazoles 6a-v in good yields. Most of the synthesized compounds showed selective cytotoxicity towards human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). Of the synthesized 2-arylamino-5-(indolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, compound 6f is the most potent towards tested cancer cell lines (IC50 = 0.15-1.18 μM).
