A novel series of compounds obtained by fusing the metal-chelating agent clioquinol and the antioxidant ebselen were designed, synthesized and evaluated as multi-target-directedligands against Alzheimer's disease (AD). Specifically, compared with their parent compounds clioquinol and ebselen, these hybrids demonstrated significant potency in inhibiting self- and Cu(II)-induced amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation
设计,合成和评估了通过将金属螯合剂氯喹醇和抗氧化剂依布硒啉融合而获得的一系列新型化合物,这些化合物可作为针对阿尔茨海默氏病(AD)的多靶标配体。具体而言,与它们的母体化合物喹喔啉和依伯硒仑相比,这些杂种显示出显着的抑制自我和Cu(II)诱导的淀粉样β(Aβ)聚集的能力,并充当了杰出的抗氧化剂和生物金属螯合剂。此外,该杂种在依布硒啉相关的药理特性方面显示出显着改善,包括模仿谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶和清除H 2 O 2的能力。在这些分子中,化合物10h被确定为AD治疗的潜在先导化合物。重要的是,发现该化合物具有快速的H 2 O 2清除活性和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶样(GPx样)活性。此外,化合物10h能够有效地分解预制的自我和Cu(II)诱导的Aβ聚集体。此外,在高达2000 mg kg -1的剂量下,10h能够穿透中枢神经系统(CNS),并且在小鼠中没有表现出任何急性毒性。
Inhibition of thioredoxin reductase by a novel series of bis-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-ones: Organoselenium compounds for cancer therapy
Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is critical for cellular redox regulation and is involved in tumor proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis. Its C-terminal redox-active center contains a cysteine (Cys497) and a unique selenocysteine (Sec498), which are exposed to solvent and easily accessible. Thus, it is becoming an important target for anticancer drugs. Selective inhibition of TrxR by 1,2-(bis-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one)ethane (4a) prevents proliferation of several cancer cell lines both in vivo and in vitro. Using the structure of 4a as a starting point, a series of novel bis-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-ones was designed, prepared and tested to explore the structure-activity relationships (SARs) for this class of inhibitor and to improve their potency. Notably, 1,2-(5,5'-dimethoxybis(1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one))ethane (12) was found to be more potent than 4a in both in vitro and in vivo evaluation. Its binding sites were confirmed by biotin-conjugated iodoacetamide assay and a SAR model was generated to guide further structural modification. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of novel steroid-benzisoselenazolone hybrids
The two different types of steroidal benzisoselenazolone hybrids were synthesized by incorporating benzisoselenazolone scaffold into dehydroepiandrosterone and B-norcholesterol. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds against some carcinoma cell lines were investigated. The results showed that some of these compounds have better inhibitory activity than abiraterone on the proliferation of tumor cells associated with human growth hormone, and have less cytotoxicity on normal human cells. In particular, the IC50 values of the compound 8a and 8f are 5.4 and 6.5 mu mol/L against human ovarian carcinoma (SKOV3) cell line, and possess SI values of 13.9 and 10.5, respectively. The information obtained from the studies may be useful for the design of novel chemotherapeutic drugs.

To identify novel multi-target-directed drug candidates for the treatment of cancer, a series of benzoselenazole-stilbene hybrids were synthesised by combining the pharmacophores of resveratrol and ebselen. The biological assay indicated that all of the hybrids exhibited antiproliferative activities against four human cancer cell lines and demonstrated good TrxR inhibitory activities. The mechanism of cell apoptosis was investigated in G2/M cell cycle arrest induced by compound 6e and the apoptosis of the human liver carcinoma Bel-7402 cell line. The significant increase in intracellular ROS confirmed that compound 6e was capable of causing oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in cancer cells. Our results support the potential of compound 6e as a candidate for further studies examining the development of novel drugs for cancer treatment. (C) 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
