Synthesis, cytotoxicity, and structure–activity insight of NH- and N-methyl-3,5-bis-(arylidenyl)-4-piperidones
摘要:
Twenty-one NH- and N-methyl-3,5-bis-(arylidenyl)-4-piperidone analogs of curcumin, 12 of which are novel, were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against B16 (murine melanoma) and L1210 (murine lymphoma) cells grown in culture. These curcumin analogs are related to a known anticancer STAT3 inhibitor 3,5-bis-(4-fluorobenzyl)-4-piperidone (3). The compounds showed remarkable cytotoxicity, especially against B16 cells. The dimethoxy substituted analogs 4e and 4f and dihydroxy analog 4i emerged as the most active compounds with IC50 values in the range of 0.2-2.3 mu M. 4e, f, and i were about 10-times more cytotoxic against both cell lines than 3. Analysis of the results demonstrates that the position of the hydroxyl group is crucial for cytotoxicity. Amino-containing analogs are generally less active than their halogenated and oxygen-containing analogs, and N-substitution in the 4-piperidone moiety adds value to the cytotoxicity of the compounds.
We previously reported the design and discovery of three series of 5-carbon linker-containing mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin (MCACs) as excellent anti-inflammatory agents. In continuation of our ongoing research, we designed and synthesized the fourth series of MCACs, whose central linker is a piperid-4-one. Their inhibitory effects against IL-6 production were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. Among them, compounds F8, F29, F33, F35, and F36 exhibited the IC50 values under 5 mu M. The structure-activity relationship was discussed. Mechanistically, F35 and F36 dose-dependently prevented LPS-induced NF-kappa B and ERK activation. Finally, pretreatment with F35 and F36 significantly protected the C57B/L6 mice from LPS-induced septic death. Together, these data present a series of new analogs of curcumin as promising anti-inflammatory agents. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and anti-tumor activity of EF24 analogues as IKKβ inhibitors
EF24 is an IKK beta inhibitor (IC50: 72 mu M) containing various anti-tumor activities. In this study, a series of EF24 analogs targeting IKK beta were designed and synthesized. Several IKK beta inhibitors with better activities than EF24 were screened out and B3 showed best IKK beta inhibitory (IC50: 6.6 mu M). Molecular docking and dynamic simulation experiments further confirmed this inhibitory effect. B3 obviously suppressed the viability of Hela229, A549, SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells. Then, in SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells, B3 blocked the NF-kappa B signal pathway by inhibiting IKK beta phosphorylation, and followed arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase by suppressing the Cyclin B1 and Cdc2 p34 expression, induced the cell apoptosis by down-regulating Bcl-2 protein and up-regulating cleaved-caspase3. Moreover, B3 significantly reduced tumor growth and suppressed the IKK beta-NF-kappa B signal pathway in SGC-7901 xenograft model. In total, this study present a potential IKK beta inhibitor as anti-tumor precursor. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
