A series of analogues of the integrin binding aspartic acid-glycine-arginine (RGD) peptide sequence were synthesised conjugated to nitric oxide (NO) donating functional groups. Also the cytotoxicity of abiraterone, a prostate cancer drug, was explored when it was conjugated in three part constructs to RGD sequences and NO releasing heterocycles. In general the analogues showed integrin binding affinity comparable to RGD reference compounds, and all released NO by the Griess test assay. Two analogues exhibited significant cytotoxic effects against PO and MCF7 cell lines. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

A series of analogues of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) sulindac 1 were synthesised tethered to nitric oxide (NO) donating functional groups. Sulindac shows antiproliterative effects against immortal PC3 cell lines. It was previously demonstrated that the effect can be enhanced when tethered to NO releasing groups such as nitrate esters, furoxans and sydnonimines. To explore this approach further, a total of fifty-six sulindac-NO analogues were prepared and they were evaluated as NO-releasing cytotoxic agents against prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines. Compounds 1k and 1n exhibited significant cytotoxic with IC50 values of 6.1 +/- 4.1 and 12.1 +/- 3.2 mu M, respectively, coupled with observed nitric oxide release. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The incorporation of furoxan and sydnonimine ring systems into amino acid side chains is demonstrated with the preparation of four novel amino acids which carry these nitric oxide-releasing motifs. N-((4-Nitrophenoxy)carbonyl)-3-phenylsydnonimine 9 and bis(phenylsulfonyl)furoxan 10 are the key intermediates for introducing the heterocycle side chains onto appropriate amine and alcohol functionalities respectively. Furoxan 5 and 7 both displayed NO release based on determination of nitrite production. Orthogonal amino acid protecting group strategies were deployed to demonstrate that the amino acids could be incorporated into peptide frameworks. By way of demonstration the amino acids were placed centrally into several tripeptide motifs. Griess test assays showed that these amino acids released NO in the presence of γ-glutathione (GST).
