1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2-thioxopyrimidine analogs of combretastatin-A4
摘要:
Eleven 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-thioxopyrimidine analogs of combretastatin-A4 (CA-4) were synthesized and their cytotoxicity against the growth of two murine cancer cell lines (B16 melanoma and L1210 leukemia) in culture was determined using an MTT assay. Two 2-thioxopyrimidine analogs 8f and 9a exhibited significant activity IC50 <1 mu M for L1210 and <10 mu M for B16 cells). Exposure of A-10 cells to 8f and 9a produced a significant reduction in cellular microtubules in interphase cells, with an EC50 value of 4.4 and 2.9 mu M, respectively, for microtubule loss. Molecular modeling studies using MacSpartan indicated that the two active 2-thioxopyrimidine analogs preferably adopt a twisted conformation, similar to CA-4, affirming that conformation and structure are connected to activity.

Cytotoxic 3,4,5-trimethoxychalcones as mitotic arresters and cell migration inhibitors
摘要:
Based on classical colchicine site ligands and a computational model of the colchicine binding site on beta tubulin, two classes of chalcone derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of tubulin assembly and toxicity in human cancer cell lines. Docking studies suggested that the chalcone scaffold could fit the colchicine site on tubulin in an orientation similar to that of the natural product. In particular, a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl ring adjacent to the carbonyl group appeared to benefit the ligand-tubulin interaction, occupying the same subcavity as the corresponding moiety in colchicine. Consistent with modeling predictions, several 3,4,5-trimethoxychalcones showed improved cytotoxicity to murine acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells compared with a previously described parent compound, and inhibited tubulin assembly in vitro as potently as colchicine. The most potent chalcones inhibited the growth of human leukemia cell lines at nanomolar concentrations, caused microtubule destabilization and mitotic arrest in human cervical cancer cells, and inhibited human breast cancer cell migration in scratch wound and Boyden chamber assays.

The alpha-methyl chalcone SD400 is a potent inhibitor of tubulin assembly and possesses potent anticancer activity. Various chalcone analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their cell growth inhibitory properties against the K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line (SD400, IC50 0.21 nM; combretastatin A4 CA4, IC50 2.0 nM). Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry indicated that these agents are antimitotic (SD400, 83% of the cells are in G(2)/M phase; CA4 90%). They inhibit tubulin assembly at low concentration (SD400, IC50 0.46 mu M; CA4, 0.10 mu M) and compete with [H-3] colchicine for binding to tubulin (8% [H-3] colchicine remained bound to tubulin after competition with SD400 or CA4). Upon treatment with SD400, remarkable cell shape changes were elicited in HUVEC cells, consistent with vasculature damaging activity. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
