Design, synthesis and biological evaluation studies of novel small molecule ENPP1 inhibitors for cancer immunotherapy

Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases 1 (ENPP1 or NPP1), is an attractive therapeutic target for various diseases, primarily cancer and mineralization disorders. The ecto-enzyme is located on the cell surface and has been implicated in the control of extracellular levels of nucleotide, nucleoside and (di) phosphate. Recently, it has emerged as a critical phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes cyclic 2′3′- cGAMP, the endogenous ligand for STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes). STING plays an important role in innate immunity by activating type I interferon in response to cytosolic 2′3′-cGAMP. ENPP1 negatively regulates the STING pathway and hence its inhibition makes it an attractive therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we describe the design, optimization and biological evaluation studies of a series of novel non-nucleotidic thioguanine based small molecule inhibitors of ENPP1. The lead compound 43 has shown good in vitro potency, stability in SGF/SIF/PBS, selectivity, ADME properties and pharmacokinetic profile and finally potent anti-tumor response in vivo. These compounds are a good starting point for the development of potentially effective cancer immunotherapy agents.

Novel chromenyl-based 2-iminothiazolidin-4-one derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modelling studies

Here-in, we present molecular design, chemical synthesis and evaluation of novel chromenyl-based 2-iminothiazolidin-4-one derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicities against A549 (lung cancer), MDA-MB-231 and BT-471 (breast cancer), HepG2 (liver cancer) and HCT-116 (colon cancer) cell lines by MTT assay. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 12b showed excellent anticancer activity on MDA-MB-231 cell line with IC50 value of 0.95 ± 1.88 μM and was verified to be safe in normal human bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B). Apoptosis induced by the lead 12b was observed using morphological observations, AO/EB and DAPI staining procedures. Further, dose-dependent increase in the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane was also observed through JC-1 staining. Annexin V-FITC/PI assay confirmed that 12b induced early apoptosis. Additionally, cell cycle analysis indicated that the MDA-MB-231 cells were arrested at sub-G2/M phase and also inhibited tubulin polymerization with IC50 value of 3.54 ± 0.2 μM. Molecular docking simulations were employed to identify the important binding modes responsible for the tubulin inhibitory activity, thus supporting their effective anticancer potential.

Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of novel ferrocenylmethylamine derivatives as cytotoxic agents

The present report describes a new series of amide functionalized 20- and 30-aminomethylferrocene derived from ferrocenylmethylamine. The compounds 1a-5a and 1b-5b were characterized by microanalysis, 1H, 13C NMR, UV–visible, fluorescence, FTIR, thermogravimetric and crystallographic techniques. The X-ray analysis demonstrated the ability of these molecules to form various intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, as verified by Hirshfeld surface analysis. All the compounds were evaluated against MCF 7, IMR 32, HepG2 and immortal L132 cell lines by MTT assay and the results were compared with cisplatin. Interestingly, many compounds were very active against all the investigated cell lines and proved to be more potent as cytotoxic agents than cisplatin. The western blot, gene expression, mitochondrial membrane potential and flow cytometry study were used to investigate the mode of action of these derivatives as antitumor agents. The results showed apoptotic property of the compounds by modulating inflammatory pathway against human tumor cells of different origin. We performed the density functional theory calculations and molecular docking to rationalize the experimental results.

Discovery of certain benzyl/phenethyl thiazolidinone-indole hybrids as potential anti-proliferative agents: Synthesis, molecular modeling and tubulin polymerization inhibition study

A series of certain benzyl/phenethyl thiazolidinone-indole hybrids were synthesized for the study of anti-proliferative activity against A549, NCI-H460 (lung cancer), MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer), HCT-29 and HCT-15 (colon cancer) cell lines by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). We found that compound G37 displayed highest cytotoxicity with IC50 value of 0.92 ± 0.12 μM towards HCT-15 cancer cell line among all the synthesized compounds. Moreover, compound G37 was also tested on normal human lung epithelial cells (L132) and was found to be safe in contrast to HCT-15 cells. The lead compound G37 showed significant G2/M phase arrest in HCT-15 cells. Additionally, compound G37 significantly inhibited tubulin polymerization with IC50 value of 2.92 ± 0.23 μM. Mechanistic studies such as acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) dual staining, DAPI nuclear staining, annexinV/propidium iodide dual staining, clonogenic growth inhibition assays inferred that compound G37 induced apoptotic cell death in HCT-15 cells. Moreover, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential with elevated intracellular ROS levels was observed by compound G37. These compounds bind at the active pocket of the α/β-tubulin with higher number of stable hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic and arene-cation interactions confirmed by molecular modeling studies.

Latent Bronsted Base Solvent-Assisted Amide Formation from Amines and Acid Chlorides

Weakly basic amines, including even neutral amines such as nitroaniline and aminocarboxylic acids, react with acid chlorides very efficiently in N, N -dimethylacetamide (DMAC), without addition of a base, to give the corresponding amides in high yields. The role of DMAC and related solvents as latent Bronsted bases was studied in these amidation reactions. Less basic amines, such as aromatic amines, reacted with benzoyl chloride faster than more basic aliphatic amines.

Synthesis, antiproliferative evaluation, and structure–activity relationships of novel triazole–isoindoline hybrids bearing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety

As an aspect of our ongoing research on developing novel antiproliferative agents, 31 new triazole–isoindoline hybrids bearing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against four cancer cell lines (HepG2, HeLa, PC-3, and HCT116). Some compounds showed excellent potency, and compared to fluorouracil, the most promising compound 6s exhibited 5.8-, 4.3-, and 1.3- fold increase in activities against HeLa, HepG2, and PC-3 cell lines with IC50 values of 9.7, 10.7, and 16.8?μM, respectively. Moreover, structure–activity relationship studies indicated that a much shorter amide linkage and electron-withdrawing groups at phenyl ring of the acetamide fragment contribute to the antitumour activity.

Synthesis and acaricidal activities of scopoletin phenolic ether derivatives: Qsar, molecular docking study and in silico Adme predictions

Thirty phenolic ether derivatives of scopoletin modified at the 7-hydroxy position were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by IR,1H-NMR,13C-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Preliminary acaricidal activities of these compounds against female adults of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) were evaluated using the slide-dip method. The results indicated that some of these compounds exhibit more pronounced acaricidal activity than scopoletin, especially compounds 32, 20, 28, 27 and 8 which exhibited about 8.41-, 7.32-, 7.23-, 6.76-, and 6.65-fold higher acaricidal potency. Compound 32 possessed the the most promising acaricidal activity and exhibited about 1.45-fold higher acaricidal potency against T. cinnabarinus than propargite. Statistically significant 2D-QSAR model supports the observed acaricidal activities and reveals that polarizability (HATS5p) was the most important parameter controlling bioactivity. 3D-QSAR (CoMFA: q2 = 0.802, r2 = 0.993; CoMSIA: q2 = 0.735, r2 = 0.965) results show that bulky substituents at R4, R1, R2 and R5 (C6, C3, C4, and C7) positions, electron positive groups at R5 (C7) position, hydrophobic groups at R1 (C3) and R2 (C4), H-bond donors groups at R1 (C3) and R4 (C6) will increase their acaricidal activity, which provide a good insight into the molecular features relevant to the acaricidal activity for further designing novel acaricidal agents. Molecular docking demonstrates that these selected derivatives display different bide modes with TcPMCA1 from lead compound and they interact with more key amino acid residues than scopoletin. In silico ADME properties of scopoletin and its phenolic ether derivatives were also analyzed and showed potential to develop as good acaricidal candidates.
