Synthesis and SAR requirements of adamantane–colchicine conjugates with both microtubule depolymerizing and tubulin clustering activities
摘要:
A series of analogues of conjugate 1, combining an adamantane-based paclitaxel (taxol) mimetic with colchicine was synthesized and tested for cytotoxicity in a cell-based assay with the human lung carcinoma cell line A549. The most active compounds (10 EC50 2 +/- 1.0 nM, 23 EC50 6 +/- 1.4 nM, 26 EC50 5 +/- 1.8 nM, 28 EC50 11 +/- 1.7 nM, 30 EC50 4.8 +/- 0.5 nM) were found to interfere with the microtubule dynamics in an interesting manner. Treatment of the cells with these compounds promoted disassembly of microtubules followed by the formation of stable tubulin clusters. Structure-activity relationships for the analogues of 23 revealed the sensitivity of both cytotoxicity and tubulin clustering ability to the linker length. The presence of adamantane (or another bulky hydrophobic and non-aromatic moiety) in 23 was found to play an important role in the formation of tubulin clusters. Structural requirements for optimal activity have been partially explained by molecular modeling. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
