Drug resistance has been a major threat in cancer therapies that necessitates the development of new strategies to overcome this problem. We report here a cell-based high-throughput screen of a library containing two-million molecules for the compounds that inhibit the proliferation of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Through the process of phenotypic screening, target deconvolution, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis, a compound of furanonaphthoquinone-based small molecule, AS4583, was identified that exhibited potent activity in tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-sensitive and TKI-resistant NSCLC cells (IC50 = 77 nM) and in xenograft mice. The mechanistic studies revealed that AS4583 inhibited cell-cycle progression and reduced DNA replication by disrupting the formation of the minichromosomal maintenance protein (MCM) complex. Subsequent SAR study of AS4583 gave compound RJ-LC-07-48 which exhibited greater potency in drug-resistant NSCLC cells (IC50 = 17 nM) and in mice with H1975 xenograft tumor.

Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) is an attractive target for cancer therapy. Based on its crystal structure, we designed and synthesized a focused compound library containing the structural moiety of 1,4-benzoquinone, which possesses reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction capacity. Compound 3s with a naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-dione scaffold exhibited inhibitory activity against hDHODH. Further optimization led to compounds 11k and 11l, which inhibited hDHODH activity with IC50 values of 9 and 4.5 nM, respectively. Protein-ligand cocrystal structures clearly depicted hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions of 11k and 11l with hDHODH. Compounds 11k and 11l significantly inhibited leukemia cell and solid tumor cell proliferation and induced ROS production, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest. Nanocrystallization of compound 11l displayed significant in vivo antitumor effects in the Raji xenograft model. Overall, this study provides a novel bifunctional compound 11l with hDHODH inhibition and ROS induction efficacy, which represents a promising anticancer lead worthy of further exploration.

The treatment of activated B cell-like DLBCL (ABC-DLBCL) is one of the urgent unmet medical needs because it is the most resistant DLBCL subtype to current therapies eagerly awaiting effective therapeutic strategies. Recently, the paracaspase MALT1 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of ABC-DLBCL. Herein, we report a new class of MALT1 inhibitors developed by high-throughput screening and structure-based drug design. The original hit, 4-amino-1,2-naphthoquinone series inhibited MALT1 activity but suffered from poor cellular activity. The extensive pharmacophore search led to the discovery of structurally similar β-lapachone that is a direct inhibitor of MALT1 and possesses favorable physicochemical properties. Molecular simulation studies suggested the possibility of the formation of a covalent bond between MALT1 and β-lapachone, which was corroborated by experimental wash-out studies. Inspired by this, we explored the structure-activity relationships by incorporating electron-withdrawing substituents at C8 position of β-lapachone. These MALT1 inhibitors exhibited potent antiproliferative activity to OCI-LY3 cell line and inhibited the cleavage of CYLD mediated MALT1.

, p. 1059 - 1064 (2007/10/06)
A selection of novel 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinones are shown to be potent inhibitors of rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) and to have highest potency with alkyl substitution at both C-6 and C-7. The most potent compounds were 7c and 7e which produced a 50% inhibition in the rat PCA test at doses of about 10 μM/kg following subcutaneous administration and showed activity after oral administration. Related 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-2(1H)-naphthalenones had no effect on rat PCA in doses up to 500 μM/kg.
