Βradykinin stimulation of B2 receptor is known to activate the oncogenic ERK pathway and overexpression of bradykinin receptors B1 and B2 has been reported to occur in glioma, colorectal and cervical cancers. B1R and B2R antagonists have been shown to reverse tumor proliferation and invasion. Paradoxically, B1R and B2R agonism has also been reported to elicit antiproliferative benefits. In order to complement the data accumulated to date with the natural substrate bradykinin and peptidic B2R antagonists, we decided to examine for the first time the response elicited by B2R stimulation in breast cancer lines with a non-peptidic small molecule B2R agonist. We synthesized and assessed the highly selective and potent B2R partial agonist FR-190997 in MCF-7 and MDA-MBA-231 breast cancer lines and found it possessed significant antiproliferative activity (IC50 2.14 and 0.08 μΜ, respectively). The modular nature of FR-190997 allowed us to conduct a focused SAR study and discover compound 10 which exhibits subnanomolar antiproliferative activity (IC 50 0.06 nΜ) in the TNBC MDA-MBA-231 cell line. This performance surpasses, in most cases by several orders of magnitude, those of established anticancer agents and FDA-approved breast cancer drugs. In line with the established literature we suggest that this remarkable activity precipitates from a dual mode of action involving agonist-induced receptor internalization/degradation combined with sequestration of functional intracellular B2 receptors and inhibition of the associated endosomal signaling. The latter mode may be realized by appropriate ligands regardless of B2R agonist/antagonist designation which only relates to membrane residing GCPRs. Under this prism the controversy over the antiproliferative effects of B2 agonists and antagonists is potentially neutralized.

Purpose: The development of resistance to available anticancer drugs is increasingly becoming a major challenge and new chemical entities could be unveiled to compensate this therapeutic failure. The current study demonstrated the synthesis of 2-aminothiazole [S3 (a-d) and S5(a-d)] and 2-aminopyridine [S4(a-d) and S6(a-d)] derivatives that can target multiple cellular networks implicated in cancer development. Methods: Biological assays were performed to investigate the antioxidant and anticancer potential of synthesized compounds. Redox imbalance and oxidative stress are hallmarks of cancer, therefore, synthesized compounds were preliminarily screened for their antioxidant activity using DPPH assay, and further five derivatives S3b, S3c, S4c, S5b, and S6c, with significant antioxidant potential, were selected for investigation of in vitro anticancer potential. The cytotoxic activities were evaluated against the parent (A2780) and cisplatin-resistant (A2780CISR) ovarian cancer cell lines. Further, Molecular docking studies of active compounds were performed to determine binding affinities. Results: Results revealed that S3c, S5b, and S6c displayed promising inhibition in cisplatin-resistant cell lines in comparison to parent cells in terms of both resistance factor (RF) and IC50 values. Moreover, S3c proved to be most active compound in both parent and resistant cell lines with IC50 values 15.57 μM and 11.52 μM respectively. Our docking studies demonstrated that compounds S3c, S5b, and S6c exhibited significant binding affinity with multiple protein targets of the signaling cascade. Conclusion: Anticancer activities of compounds S3c, S5b, and S6c in cisplatin-resistant cell lines suggested that these ligands may contribute as lead compounds for the development of new anticancer drugs.
