Combretastatin A-4 derived 5-(1-methyl-4-phenyl-imidazol-5-yl)indoles with superior cytotoxic and anti-vascular effects on chemoresistant cancer cells and tumors
摘要:
5-(1-Methyl-4-phenyl-imidazol-5-yl)indoles 5 were prepared and tested as analogs of the natural vascular-disrupting agent combretastatin A-4 (CA-4). The 3-bromo-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl derivative 5c was far more active than CA-4 with low nanomolar IC50 concentrations against multidrug-resistant KB-V1/Vb1 cervix and MCF-7/Topo mamma carcinoma cells, and also against CA-4-resistant HT-29 colon carcinoma cells. While not interfering markedly with the polymerization of tubulin in vitro, indole 5c completely disrupted the microtubule cytoskeleton of cancer cells at low concentrations. It also destroyed real blood vessels, both in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized chicken eggs and within tumor xenografts in mice, without harming embryo or mouse, respectively. Indole 5c was less toxic than CA-4 to endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and cardiomyocytes. In highly vascularized xenograft tumors 5c induced distinct discolorations and histological features typical of vascular-disrupting agents, such as disrupted vessel structures, hemorrhages, and extensive necrosis. In a first preliminary therapy trial, indole 5c retarded the growth of resistant xenograft tumors in mice. (C) 2016 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

4-(3-Halo/amino-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-aryloxazoles and -<i>N</i>-methylimidazoles That Are Cytotoxic against Combretastatin A Resistant Tumor Cells and Vascular Disrupting in a Cisplatin Resistant Germ Cell Tumor Model
New combretastatin A analogues featuring oxazole or N-methylimidazole bridged Z-alkenes and haloor amino-substituted A-rings were tested against various cancer cell lines and in testicular germ cell tumor xenografts in mice. Imidazoles with 3-halo-4,5-dimethoxy substituted A-rings and 3-amino-4-methoxy substituted B-rings (7b and 8b) were efficacious at nanomolar concentrations against cells of combretastatin A refractory HT-29 colon carcinoma, multidrug-resistant MCF-7/Topo breast carcinoma, and cisplatin-resistant 1411 HP testicular germ cell tumor. They induced apoptosis and inhibited tubulin polymerization. While well tolerated by mice at high doses, these imidazoles initiated extensive intratumoral hemorrhage and regressions of highly vascularized 1411 HP xenografts.
