Discovery of novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors embedding 6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline and diarylamide fragments

VEGF/VEGFR-2 signaling plays a critical part in tumor angiogenesis. Inhibition of this pathway has been considered as a promising approach for cancer treatment. In this work, a series of 6,7-dimethoxy-4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives bearing diarylamide moiety were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potent inhibitors of VEGFR-2 kinase. Their in vitro antiproliferation activities against two human cancer cell lines Hep-G2 and MCF-7 have also been determined. Among them, compound 14b exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2 with IC50 value of 0.016 ± 0.002 μM and it showed the most potent antiproliferative effect against Hep-G2 and MCF-7 with IC50 values at low-micromolar range. Molecular docking studies revealed that these compounds represented by the most potent compound 14b could bind well to the ATP-binding site of VEGFR-2, which suggested that compound 14b could be a potential anticancer agent targeting VEGFR-2.

Synthesis of ring-opened derivatives of triazole-containing quinolinones and their antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities

Based on the potent antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities of the triazole-containing quinolinones reported in our previous work, a series of ring-opened derivatives of them were designed, synthesized in this work. Their antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities were screened using the forced swimming test (FST) and the maximal electroshock seizure test (MES), respectively. The results showed that compounds 4a, 5a, 6c-6e, 6g-6i, and 7 led to significant reductions in the accumulated immobility time in the FST at a dose of 50 mg/kg. Especially compound 7 exhibited higher levels of efficacy than the reference standard fluoxetine in the FST and the tail suspension test. The results of an open field test excluded the possibility of central nervous stimulation of 7, which further confirmed its antidepressant effect. Meanwhile, compounds 6a-6i and 7 showed different degrees of anticonvulsant activity in mice at the doses range from 300 to 30 mg/kg in the MES. Among them, compounds 6e and 7 displayed the ED50 of 38.5 and 32.7 mg/kg in the MES, and TD50 of 254.6 and 245.5 mg/kg, respectively. No one showed neurotoxicity at the dose of 100 mg/kg. The preliminary investigation forward to their mechanism indicated that regulation of GABAergic system might contribute to their anticonvulsive and anti-depressive action.

Design, synthesis and molecular modeling study of certain VEGFR-2 inhibitors based on thienopyrimidne scaffold as cancer targeting agents

Different series of novel thieno [2,3-d]pyrimidine derivative (9a-d,10a-f,l,m and 15a-m) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their ability to in vitro inhibit VEGFR-2 enzyme. Also, the cytotoxicity of the final compounds was tested against a panel of 60 different human cancer cell lines by NCI. The VEGFR-2 enzyme inhibitory results revealed that compounds 10d, 15d and 15 g are among the most active inhibitors with IC50 values of 2.5, 5.48 and 2.27 μM respectively, while compound 10a remarkably showed the highest cell growth inhibition with mean growth inhibition (GI) percent of 31.57%. It exhibited broad spectrum anti-proliferative activity against several NCI cell lines specifically on human breast cancer (T7-47D) and renal cancer (A498) cell lines of 85.5% and 77.65% inhibition respectively. To investigate the mechanistic aspects underlying the activity, further biological studies like flow cytometry cell cycle together with caspase-3 colorimetric assays were carried on compound 10a. Flow cytometric analysis on both MCV-7 and PC-3 cancer cells revealed that it induced cell-cycle arrest in the G0-G1phase and reinforced apoptosis via activation of caspase-3. Furthermore, molecular modeling studies have been carried out to gain further understanding of the binding mode in the active site of VEGFR-2 enzyme and predict pharmacokinetic properties of all the synthesized inhibitors.

Effective nitration of anilides and acrylamides by tert-butyl nitrite

Nitro compounds are important intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry and the chemical industry. Herein, the efficient copper-catalyzed [10% Cu(NO3)2·3H2O] nitration of anilides was developed by using TBN (tert-butyl nitrite) as a nitrating reagent to give the corresponding nitro-substituted aromatic products in good to excellent yields. The use of TBN also led to the selective nitration of acrylamides at room temperature to afford only the (E) isomer of the nitration product. A series of anilides and acrylamides with a broad array of functional groups were well-tolerated by this procedure. This synthetic method has many advantages, which include inexpensive starting materials, mild reaction conditions, a fast reaction rate, and high yields. A mechanistic investigation indicates that a nitro radical, which is generated from the thermal homolysis of TBN, is involved in the two nitration processes. The efficient nitration of both anilides and acrylamides was achieved by using TBN (tert-butyl nitrite) as a metal-free nitrating reagent. This synthetic method has many advantages such as mild reaction conditions, a fast reaction rate, good to excellent yields, and a broad substrate scope. Our investigation indicates that a nitro radical is involved in the reaction mechanism.
