Synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones, a new class of antimitotic anticancer agents which inhibit tubulin polymerization
摘要:
A novel series of 2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H-ones which inhibited tubulin polymerization and the growth of L1210 murine leukemia cells was discovered. Extensive structure-activity relationship studies suggest that the entire quinazolinone structure was required, but activity was further enhanced by halide or small hydrophobic substituents at position 6. These analogues did not substantially interfere with the binding of radiolabeled colchicine, vinblastine, or GTP to tubulin and weakly stimulated GTP hydrolysis uncoupled from polymerization. Several analogues have shown in vivo tumor growth inhibitory activity in the L1210 leukemia model, with the lead compound 5o exhibiting good antitumor activity against murine solid tumors as well as human tumor xenografts.
Synthesis, structure, and biological assay of cinnamic amides as potential EGFR kinase inhibitors
摘要:
A series of derivatives of cinnamic amide (compounds 2a-2v) were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activities against the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7- and EGFR-inhibitory activities. The structures of compounds 2b and 2i were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 2f and 2j showed moderate EGFR inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 5.16 and 7.37 mu M, respectively. Docking simulation of compound 2f was carried out to illustrate the binding mode of the molecule into the EGFR active site. Structure-activity relationship analysis found that the N-phenyl rings are required for enhancing the activities.
