A series of novel thioether andrographolide derivatives were synthesized by incorporating various aromatic (or heteroaromatic) substituents into C-12 or 14-OH. A total of 38 andrographolide derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their in vitro inhibi

Cathepsin L is a cysteine protease that is upregulated in a variety of malignant tumors and plays a significant role in cancer cell invasion and migration. It is an attractive target for the development of small-molecule inhibitors, which may prove beneficial as treatment agents to limit or arrest cancer metastasis. We have previously identified a structurally diverse series of thiosemicarbazone-based inhibitors that incorporate the benzophenone and thiochromanone molecular scaffolds. Herein we report an important extension of this work designed to explore fused aryl-alkyl ring molecular systems that feature nitrogen atom incorporation (dihydroquinoline-based) and carbon atom exclusivity (tetrahydronaphthalene-based). In addition, analogues that contain oxygen (chromanone-based), sulfur (thiochroman-based), sulfoxide, and sulfone functionalization have been prepared in order to further investigate the structure-activity relationship aspects associated with these compounds and their ability to inhibit cathepsins L and B. From this small-library of 30 compounds, five were found to be strongly inhibitory (IC50 50 = 164 nM. All of the compounds evaluated were inactive (IC50 >10,000 nM) as inhibitors of cathepsin B, thus establishing a high degree (>20-fold) of selectivity (cathepsin L vs. cathepsin B) for the most active cathepsin L inhibitors in this series.
