Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Sulfonyl Acrylonitriles as Novel Inhibitors of Cancer Metastasis and Spread
摘要:
The spread of intra-abdominal cancers is a vexing clinical problem for which there is no widely effective treatment. We discovered previously that (2E)-3-[(4-tert-butylphenyl)sulfonyl]acrylonitrile (1) induced cancer cell apoptosis during adhesion to normal mesothelial cells which line the peritoneum. We recently demonstrated that the sulfonylacrylonitrile portion of 1 and hydrophobic aryl substitution were essential for pro-apoptotic activity in cancer cells. Here we synthesized a diverse series of analogues of 1 in order to improve the efficacy and pharmaceutical properties. Analogues and 1 were compared in their ability to cause cancer cell death during adhesion to normal mesothelial cell monolayers. Potent analogues identified in the in vitro assay were validated and found to exhibit improved inhibition of intra-abdominal cancer in two clinically relevant murine models of ovarian and pancreatic cancer spread and metastasis, highlighting their potential clinical use as an adjunct to surgical resection of cancers.

A net redox-neutral method for the decarboxylative alkylation of heteroarenes usingphotoredoxcatalysis is reported. Additionally, this method features the use of simple, commercially available carboxylicacid derivatives as alkylating agents, enabling the facile alkylation of a variety of biologically relevant heterocyclic scaffolds under mild conditions.
quinolines with styrenes and that of a C5Me4H-ligated yttrium catalyst Y-2 for the reaction with aliphatic olefins exclusively afforded the corresponding C8-H alkylation products, thus constituting the first example of direct C8‒H alkylation of neutral quinolines. In contrast, the Sc-3-catalyzed reaction of 2-aryl quinolines with aliphatic olefins and the Y-2-catalyzed reaction with styrenes selective-ly
