Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of phenylpicolinamide sorafenib derivatives as antitumor agents

Two series of phenylpicolinamide sorafenib derivatives (14a–k, 15a–k) were designed and synthesized. They were evaluated for IC50 values against three cancer cell lines (A549, Hela, and MCF-7) and VEGFR2/KDR, BRAF, and CRAF kinases. Fourteen target compounds showed moderate to excellent cytotoxicity activity against the different cancer cells with potency from the single-digit μM to nanomole range. What’s more, six of them were equal to more potent than sorafenib against one or more cell lines. Most of the compounds showed bad activity against VEGFR2/KDR, BRAF, or CRAF kinases. The most promising compound 15f showed strong antitumor activities against A549 and MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values of 5.43 ± 0.74 and 0.62 ± 0.21 μM, which were 1.29–6.79-fold more active than sorafenib (6.53 ± 0.82, 4.21 ± 0.62 μM), respectively and it exhibited moderate IC50 (7.1 μM) than 14f (IC50 = 3.1 μM). Structure–activity relationships (SARs) and docking studies indicated that replacement of diarylurea of sorafenib with phenylpicolinamide moiety benefits to the activity. The position of aryl group and the substitutions of aryl group have a great influence on antitumor activity and selectivity. Small volume groups of aryl group such as (substituted) alkyl groups (–CH3, –CF3), halogen atoms (–F) were favorable to the cytotoxicity. Exact action mechanism of target compounds is not quite clear and further study will be carried out to identify the target in near future.

Synthesis, biological evaluation and docking studies of sorafenib derivatives N-(3-fluoro-4-(pyridin-4-yloxy)phenyl)-4(5)-phenylpicolinamides

Background: Sorafenib is an important VEGFR2/KDR inhibitor which is widely used for the treatment of cancer. Objective: In this paper, two series of sorafenib analogues N-(3-fluoro-4-(pyridin-4-yloxy)phenyl)-4- phenylpicolinamides(13a-k) and N-(3-fluoro-4-(pyridin-4-yloxy)phenyl)-5-phenylpicolinamides (14a-k) were designed and synthesized. Methods: Their structures were confirmed by various analytical methods, such as 1 H and 13 C NMR, m.p., MS, HRMS. All of them were evaluated for IC50 values against three cancer cell lines (A549, PC-3 and MCF-7). Results: Eleven of the synthesized compounds showed moderate to excellent cytotoxicity activity against different cancer cells, whose potency from single-digit μM to nanomolar range. And five of them were equal to more potent than sorafenib against one or more cell lines. The most promising compound 14c showed excellent antitumor activities against PC-3 and MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values of 2.62±1.07 μM and 1.14±0.92 μM, which were 1.15 to 2.75-fold more active than sorafenib (3.03±1.01 μM, 3.14±1.65 μM), respectively. Conclusion: Structure-activity relationships (SARs) and docking studies indicated that the replacement of diarylurea of sorafenib with phenylpicolinamide moiety benefited to the activity. The position of aryl group and the substituents of aryl group had a great influence on antitumor activity and selectivity. The aryl groups with the substitute of alkyl groups (-CH3), halogen atoms (-F,Cl) were favorable to the cytotoxicity. However, this series of compounds showed moderate activity against VEGFR2/KDR kinase. Mechanism of target compounds was not quite clear and further study will be carried out to identify the possible target.

Design, synthesis, and docking studies of phenylpicolinamide derivatives bearing 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine moiety as c-Met inhibitors

Four series of phenylpicolinamide derivatives bearing 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine moiety (12a-e, 13a-f, 14a-f and 15a-i) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for the IC50 values against three cancer cell lines (A549, PC-3 and MCF-7) and c-Met kinase. Five selected compounds (13b, 15b, 15d, 15e and 15f) were further evaluated for the activity against HepG2 and Hela cell lines. Eighteen of the compounds showed excellent cytotoxicity activity and selectivity with the IC50 valuables in single-digit μM to nanomole range. Seven of them are equal to more active than positive control Foretinib against one or more cell lines. The most promising compound 15f showed superior activity to Foretinib, with the IC50 values of 1.04 ± 0.11 μM, 0.02 ± 0.01 μM and 9.11 ± 0.55 μM against A549, PC-3 and MCF-7 cell lines, which were 0.62 to 19.5 times more active than Foretinib (IC50 values: 0.64 ± 0.26 μM, 0.39 ± 0.11 μM, 9.47 ± 0.22 μM), respectively. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) and docking studies indicated that replacement of quinoline nucleus of the previous active compounds with 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine moiety maintained even improved the potent cytotoxic activity. The results suggested that the introduction of fluoro atoms to the aminophenoxy part of target compounds or the phenyl group of pyrimidine substituted on C-4 position was benefit for the activity.
