N-Aryltriazole ribonucleosides with potent antiproliferative activity against drug-resistant pancreatic cancer
摘要:
Novel N-aryltriazole nucleosides were synthesized via Cu-mediated C-N cross-coupling reaction starting with 3-aminotriazole ribonucleoside and various boronic acids. Two of them exhibited potent apoptosis-related antiproliferative activity against the drug-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line MiaPaCa-2, with an increased potency compared to gemcitabine, the reference treatment for pancreatic cancer. A preliminary SAR study suggests that the appended N-aryl moiety and the substituent at its para-position, as well as the ribose sugar component, contribute considerably to the observed antiproliferative activity.

Novel bitriazolyl nucleosides were synthesized via the Huisgen reaction, starting with 3-azidotriazole nucleoside (1). Surprisingly, its isomer, 5-azidotriazole nucleoside (1′) did not yield the corresponding Huisgen reaction products efficiently because it was rapidly reduced to amine in the presence of Cu(II)–ascorbate. The significant differences between the reactivity of these two isomers in Cu(II)–ascorbate mediated reactions are mainly due to differences in their electronic properties and steric congestion as a result of different relative positions of the azido and the ribosyl moieties.
order to study the mechanisms responsible for their antiviraleffects using a photolabeling approach, we have developed photolabelingprobes of ribavirin and EICAR, in which an azido group was introduced into the pseudobases of triazole and imidazole, respectively. The ribavirin photoprobes were obtained by directly coupling the azidotriazole to the protected ribose sugar, while the EICAR probe was prepared

A series of novel 3-arylethynyltriazolyl ribonucleosides were synthesized and assessed for their anticancer activity on the drug-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line MiaPaCa-2. Among them, one compound exhibited potent apoptosis-inducing properties and anticancer activity against the pancreatic cancer model MiaPaCa-2 both in vitro and in vivo with no adverse effects. This compound did not inhibit DNA synthesis and therefore does not resemble the clinical drug gemcitabine. It did, however, significantly down-regulate the expression of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27), a small molecular chaperone playing an important role in drug resistance and highly expressed in drug-resistant cancer forms, and thus represents the first small molecular anticancer lead with such a mode of action.
