The discovery of purine-based agents targeting triple-negative breast cancer and the αB-crystallin/VEGF protein–protein interaction
摘要:
Oestrogen receptor-negative breast cancer, particularly subtypes such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC, around 10-15% of cases), are characterised by poor long-term survival, poor response to therapy and early progression to metastasis. Purine-based compounds represent a privileged scaffold in anticancer drug design, with several clinically approved and experimental agents in clinical development comprising a purine core structure. In this study, a series of new purine-based compounds were synthesised; seven of the new analogues were found to significantly reduce the in vitro viability of TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-436) with IC50 values of 50M. In previous work, we have proposed a new concept for targeting angiogenesis driving TNBC progression, by disrupting the protein-protein interaction between the molecular chaperone B-crystallin (CRYAB) and VEGF. Since previous clinical studies applying anti-VEGF therapy to TNBC patients have met with limited success, we were interested to test our most promising purine analogues against CRYAB/VEGF, using a custom-designed cell-based CRYAB/VEGF(165) interaction assay platform. Analogues 4e and 4f significantly reduced the interaction between CRYAB/VEGF(165), and compound 4e (100M) was also found to decrease the levels of soluble VEGF expressed by MDA-MB-231 cells by 40%. In conclusion, these promising early activity profiles warrant further investigation to validate this concept.

Attachment of deprotonated nucleosides or of alkylated nucleobases, as their analogues, to zinc was achieved by condensation reactions between TpZn-OH complexes and nucleobase derivatives. Pyrazolylboratozinccomplexes with derivatives of uracil, thymine, guanine, xanthine and hypoxanthine were obtained and characterized by structure determination. In the uracil, thymine, guanine and hypoxanthine derivatives

Pyrazolylborate−Zinc−Nucleobase-Complexes, 3:<sup>1</sup> Base Pairing Studies

In solution, the pyrazolylborate-zinc-nucleobase complexes show self-association and base pairing with external nucleobases. The self-association was studied quantitatively for Tp(Cum,Me)Zn-hypoxanthinate and Tp(Cum,Me)Zn-hypoxanthinate the dimerization constants K-D are 63 +/- 8 and 0.2 +/- 0.1 M-1, respectively. Of the external nucleobases, 9-ethyladenine forms stable base pairs with the thyminate, uracilate, and xanthinate complexes, 9-isobutylguanine only with the cytosinate complex, 1-methylthymine with the adeninate and diaminopurinate complexes, and 1-methyluracil with the diaminopurinate complex. The association constant for the base pair Tp(Cum,Me)Zn-thyminate:9-ethyladenine was determined by NMR methods as K = 66 +/- 10 M-1. Structure determinations of the crystalline adducts have confirmed the base pairing for Tp(Cum,Me)Zn-thyminate:9-ethyladenine, Tp(Cum,Me)Zn-cytosinate:9-isobutylguanine, and Tp(Cum,Me)Zn-xanthinate:9-ethyladenine. Both Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen base pairs have been observed. In the solid state, extended base pairing leads to quartet and polymer arrangements.
