Synthesis and preliminary biological evaluation of new anti-tubulin agents containing different benzoheterocycles
摘要:
A new series of compounds, in which the 2-amino-4-methoxyphenyl ring of phenstatin analogue 5 was replaced with 2- or 3-amino-benzoheterocycles, was synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity and inhibition of colchicine binding. The lack of activity of 3 ',4 '-dimethoxy- and 4 '-methoxy-benzoyl derivatives (8 and 9, respectively) indicates that the 3 ',4 ',5 '-trimethoxybenzoyl moiety is critical for the activity. Two compounds, 7 and 11, displayed potent antiproliferative activity, with IC50 values ranging from 25 to 100 nM against a variety of cancer cell lines. Derivative 11 was more active than CA-4 as an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization. The results demonstrated that the antiproliferative activity was correlated with inhibition of tubulin polymerization. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Two new series of inhibitors of tubulin polymerization based on the 2-amino-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)benzo[b]thiophene molecular skeleton and its 3-amino positional isomer were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity, inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and cell cycle effects. Although many more 3-amino derivatives have been synthesized so far, the most promising compound in this series was 2-amino-6-methyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)benzo[b]thiophene, which inhibits cancer cell growth at subnanomolar concentrations and interacts strongly with tubulin by binding to the colchicine site.
