Molecular design, synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation of thienopyrimidine–hydroxamic acids as chimeric kinase HDAC inhibitors: a challenging approach to combat cancer

A series of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-based hydroxamic acid hybrids was designed and synthesised as multitarget anti-cancer agents, through incorporating the pharmacophore of EGFR, VEGFR2 into the inhibitory functionality of HDAC6. Three compounds (12c, 15b and 20b) were promising hits, whereas (12c) exhibited potent VEGFR2 inhibition (IC50=185 nM), potent EGFR inhibition (IC50=1.14 μM), and mild HDAC6 inhibition (23% inhibition). Moreover, compound (15c) was the most potent dual inhibitor among all the synthesised compounds, as it exhibited potent EGFR and VEGFR2 inhibition (IC50=19 nM) and (IC50=5.58 μM), respectively. While compounds (20d) and (7c) displayed nanomolar selective kinase inhibition with EGFR IC50= 68 nM and VEGFR2 IC50= 191 nM, respectively. All of the synthesised compounds were screened in vitro for their cytotoxic effect on 60 human NCI tumour cell lines. Additionally, molecular docking studies and ADMET studies were carried out to gain further insight into their binding mode and predict the pharmacokinetic properties of all the synthesised inhibitors.

Discovery of novel 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines as Aurora kinase inhibitors

In order to explore novel Aurora kinase inhibitors, a series of novel 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines were designed, synthesized and evaluated their in vitro anti-proliferative activities against a panel of cancerous cell lines (A549, HCT-116 and MCF-7). Among them, compound 12a showed the moderate to high anti-proliferative activities against A549 (IC50 = 12.05 ± 0.45 μM), HCT-116 (IC50 = 1.31 ± 0.41 μM) and MCF-7 (IC50 = 20.53 ± 6.13 μM) cells, as well as the Aurora A and Aurora B inhibitory activities with the IC50 values of 309 nM and 293 nM, respectively. Furthermore, compound 12a induced apoptosis by upregulated the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and decreased the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xl in HCT-116 cells. Moreover, the molecular docking study showed that compound 12a had good binding modes with Aurora A and Aurora B and the bioinformatics prediction discovered that compound 12a exhibited good drug likeness using SwissADME. Taken together, these results indicated that 12a may be a potential anticancer compound that was worthy of further development as Aurora kinase inhibitor.

3D-QSAR pharmacophore modelling, virtual screening and docking studies for lead discovery of a novel scaffold for VEGFR 2 inhibitors: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation

A series of novel 6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine derivatives was successfully designed, synthesized and evaluated as a new chemical scaffold with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR 2) inhibitory activity. Compounds 6c and 6b showed enzyme inhibition of 97% and 87% at 10 μM, respectively, and exhibited potent dose-related VEGFR 2 inhibition with IC50 values of 0.85 μM and 2.26 μM, respectively. The design of the 6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine scaffold was implemented via consecutive molecular modelling protocols prior to the synthesis and biological evaluation of the derivatives. First, sorafenib was docked in the binding site of VEGFR 2 to study its binding orientation and affinity, followed by the generation of a valid 3D QSAR pharmacophore model for use in the virtual screening of different 3D databases. Structures with promising pharmacophore-based virtual screening results were refined using molecular docking studies in the binding site of VEGFR 2. A novel scaffold was designed by incorporating the results of the pharmacophore model generation and molecular docking studies. The new scaffold showed hydrophobic interactions with the kinase front pocket that may be attributed to increasing residence time in VEGFR 2, which is a key success factor for ligand optimization in drug discovery. Different derivatives of the novel scaffold were validated using docking studies and pharmacophore mapping, where they exhibited promising results as VEGFR 2 inhibitors to be synthesized and biologically evaluated. 6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine is a new scaffold that can be further optimized for the synthesis of promising VEGFR 2 inhibitors.

Diarylureas and Diarylamides with Oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine Scaffold as Angiogenesis Inhibitors

A series of oxazolopyrimidine-based ureas and amides were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated for their antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activities. These compounds were identified to exhibit inhibitory activities against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro. Among these compounds, compound 22 effectively inhibited the migration and capillary-like tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. It also exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibition on capillary sprouting from the rat aorta rings. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that compound 22 suppressed protein kinases activation, by decreasing PI3K and ERK 1/2 phosphorylation. These results support the further investigation of this class of compounds as potential anticancer agents.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of acridine derivatives as multi-target Src and MEK kinase inhibitors for anti-tumor treatment

Clinical studies have shown enhanced anticancer effects of combined inhibition of Src and MEK kinases. Development of multi-target drugs against Src and MEK is of potential therapeutic advantage against cancers. As a follow-up of our previous studies, and by using molecular docking method, we designed and synthesized a new series of 9-anilinoacridines containing phenyl-urea moieties as potential novel dual Src and MEK inhibitors. The anti-proliferative assays against K562 and HepG-2 tumor cells showed that most of the derivatives displayed good cytotoxicity in vitro. In particular, kinase inhibition assays showed that compound 8m inhibited Src (59.67%) and MEK (43.23%) at 10 μM, and displayed moderate inhibitory activity against ERK and AKT, the downstream effectors of both Src and MEK. Moreover, compound 8m was found to induce K562 cells apoptosis. Structure-activity relationships of these derivatives were analyzed. Our study suggested that acridine scaffold, particularly compound 8m, is of potential interest for developing novel multi-target Src and MEK kinase inhibitors.

Increasing the binding affinity of VEGFR-2 inhibitors by extending their hydrophobic interaction with the active site: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 1-substituted-4-(4-methoxybenzyl)phthalazine derivatives

A series of anilinophthalazine derivatives 4a-j was initially synthesized and tested for its VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity where it showed promising activity (IC50 = 0.636-5.76 μM). Molecular docking studies guidance was used to improve the binding affinity for series 4a-j towards VEGFR-2 active site. This improvement was achieved by increasing the hydrophobic interaction with the hydrophobic back pocket of the VEGFR-2 active site lined with the hydrophobic side chains of Ile888, Leu889, Ile892, Val898, Val899, Leu1019 and Ile1044. Increasing the hydrophobic interaction was accomplished by extending the anilinophthalazine scaffold with a substituted phenyl moiety through an uriedo linker which should give this extension the flexibility required to accommodate itself deeply into the hydrophobic back pocket. As planned, the designed uriedo-anilinophthalazines 7a-i showed superior binding affinity than their anilinophthalazine parents (IC50 = 0.083-0.473 μM). In particular, compounds 7g-i showed IC50 of 0.086, 0.083 and 0.086 μM, respectively, which are better than that of the reference drug sorafenib (IC50 = 0.09 μM).
