Identification of potent c-Src inhibitors strongly affecting the proliferation of human neuroblastoma cells
摘要:
Neuroblastoma (NB) represents the most common extracranial paediatric solid tumor for which no specific FDA-approved treatment is currently available. The tyrosine kinase c-Src has been reported to play an important role in the differentiation, cell-adhesion and survival of NB cells. Starting from dual Src/Abl inhibitors previously found active in NB cell lines (1-3), small modification of the original structures almost abolished the Abl activity with a contemporary improvement of affinity and specificity for cSrc. Among the synthesized compounds, the most potent c-Src inhibitor (10a) showed a very interesting antiproliferative activity in SH-SY5Y cells with an IC50 of 80 nM and a favourable ADME profile. A 3D SAR analysis was also attempted and may guide the design of more potent c-Src inhibitors as potential agents for NB treatment. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
screening of this “privilegedscaffold”-based compound collection, validated the use of a diversity-oriented approach in a field characteristically explored by target-oriented synthesis. In fact, several compounds showed high activity against the selected kinases (i.e., Src, Abl wt, and T315I mutated-form), furthermore and interestingly a new compound has emerged as an allosteric inhibitor of the T315I mutated-form
具有高水平分子多样性的吡唑并[3,4- d ]嘧啶文库已通过应用允许C3,N1,C4和C6取代的合成序列开发而成。对这种基于“特权支架”的化合物集合的酶促筛选,证实了在以目标为导向的合成为特征的领域中,以多样性为导向的方法的使用。实际上,几种化合物对选定的激酶表现出高活性(即Src,Abl wt和T315I突变形式),而且有趣的是,新化合物作为A315的T315I突变形式的变构抑制剂出现了,打开了大门。开发新型非竞争性Abl抑制剂(T315I)的新机会。
