Antitumor Agents. 284. New Desmosdumotin B Analogues with Bicyclic B-Ring as Cytotoxic and Antitubulin Agents
摘要:
We previously reported that the biological activity of analogues of desmosdumotin B (1) was dramatically changed depending on the B-ring system. A naphthalene B-ring analogue 3 exerted potent in vitro activity against a diverse panel of human tumor cell lines with GI(50) values of 0.8-2.1 mu M. In contrast, 1 analogues with a phenyl B-ring showed unique selective activity against P-glycoprotein (P-gp) over-expressing multidrug resistant cell line. We have now prepared and evaluated, 1 analogues with bicyclic or tricyclic aromatic B-ring systems as in vitro inhibitors of human cancer cell line proliferation. Among all synthesized derivatives, 21 with a benzo[b]thiophenyl B-ring was highly active, with GI(50) values of 0.06-0.16 mu M, and this activity was not influenced by overexpression of P-gp. Furthermore, 21 inhibited tubulin assembly in vitro with an IC(50) value of 2.0 mu M and colchicine binding by 7896 as well as cellular microtubule polymerization and spindle formation.
A series of newly synthesized hydroxylated analogues of triethyldesmosdumotin B (TEDB) with a bicyclic B-ring exhibited a significantly different mode of action for affecting microtubule dynamics and spindle formation but had the same antiproliferative activity spectrum, including activity against multidrug-resistant tumors. These analogues efficiently induced cell cycle arrest at prometaphase and caused formation of immature multipolar spindles. 6'-Hydroxyl TEDB-TB (8) disrupted bipolar spindle formation but had a negligible effect on interphase microtubules. On the basis of the predicted binding modes of the new compounds with tubulin dimer, compound 4 forms three hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) only with alpha-tubulin at the colchicine site; in contrast, 8 forms H-bonds with both alpha- and beta-tubulin. We predict that, when a compound/ligand, such as 8, forms H-bonds to both alpha- and beta-tubulins, spindle formation is disrupted more than the dynamics of interphase microtubules. This result may reflect the well-known greater dynamicity of spindle microtubules as compared with interphase microtubules.
