Discovery of tetrahydrocarbazoles as dual pERK and pRb inhibitors
摘要:
The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) is one of the most important molecular targets for cancer that controls diverse cellular processes such as proliferation, survival, differentiation and motility. Similarly, the Rb (retinoblastoma protein) is a tumor suppressor protein and its function is to prevent excessive cell growth by inhibiting cell cycle progression. When the cell is ready to divide, pRb is phosphorylated, becomes inactive and allows cell cycle progression. Herein, we discovered a new series of tetrahydrocarbazoles as dual inhibitors of pERK and pRb phosphorylation. The in-house small molecule library was screened for inhibition of pERK and pRb phosphorylation, which led to the discovery of tetrahydrocarbazole series of compounds as potential leads. N-(3-methylcyclopenty1)-6-nitro-2,3,4,4a,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-carbazol-2-amine (1) is the dual inhibitor lead identified through screening, displaying inhibition of PERK and pRb phosphorylation with IC50 values of 5.5 and 4.8 mu M, respectively. A short structure-activity relationship (SAR) study has been performed, which identified another dual inhibitor 9-methyl-N-(4-methylbenzy1)-2,3,4,4a,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-carbazol-2-amine (16) with IC50 values 4.4 and 3.5 mu M for inhibition of pERK and pRb phosphorylation, respectively. This compound has a potential for further lead optimization to discover promising molecularly-targeted anticancer agents. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

The functionalization of aryl and heteroaryls using α‐carbonylsulfoxoniumylides without the help of a directing group has remained so far a neglected area, despite the advantageous safety profile of sulfoxoniumylides. Described herein are the cyclizations of α‐carbonylsulfoxoniumylides onto benzenes, benzofurans and N‐p‐toluenesulfonyl indoles in the presence of a base in HFIP, whereas pyrroles
