This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry. In particular, the invention relates to a new class of small-molecules having a quinolinyl-pyrazine-carboxamide (or similar) structure which function as activators of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway within cancer cells and/or immune cells, which function as activators of the cell cycle regulation pathway within cancer cells and/or immune cells, and which function as up-regulators of HMGCS1 protein expression within cancer cells and/or immune cells, and which function as effective therapeutic agents for treating, ameliorating, and preventing various forms of cancer and other inflammatory disease.
(σ2R) is overexpressed in select cancers and is regarded as a biomarker for tumor proliferation. σ2R ligands are emerging as promising theranostics for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of a series of novel quinolyl pyrazinamides as selective and potent σ2R ligands that show sub-micromolar potency in pancreaticcancer cell lines.
