The Effect of Exchanging Various Substituents at the 2-Position of 2-Methoxyestradiol on Cytotoxicity in Human Cancer Cell Cultures and Inhibition of Tubulin Polymerization
摘要:
A new set of estradiol derivatives bearing various substituents at the 2-position were synthesized in order to further elucidate the structural parameters associated with the antitubulin activity and cytotoxicity of 2-substituted estradiols. The potencies of the new compounds as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization were determined, and the cytotoxicities of the analogues in human cancer cell cultures were investigated. The substituents introduced into the 2-position of estradiol included E-3'-hydroxy-1'-propenyl, 2'-hydroxyethoxy, 3-N,N-dimethylaminoethylideneamino, 2'-hydroxyethylineneamino, (beta-3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)ethenyl, phenylethynyl, ethynly, 1'-propynyl, and cyano. The substituents conferring the ability to inhibit tubulin polymerization included E-3'-hydroxy-1'-propenyl, 2'-hydroxyethoxy, ethynyl, and 1'-propynyl. The remaining compounds were all inactive as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization when tested at concentrations of up to 40 muM. All of the compounds were cytotoxic in a panel of 55 human cancer cell cultures, and in general, the most cytotoxic compounds were also the most potent as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. 2-(1'-Propynyl)estradiol displayed significant anticancer activity in the in vivo hollow fiber animal model.

A new series of estradiol analogs was synthesized in an attempt to improve on the anticancer activity of 2-methoxyestradiol, a naturally occurring mammalian tubulin polymerization inhibitor. The compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and the binding of [H-3]colchicine to tubulin, as well as for in vitro cytotoxicity in human cancer cell cultures. Overall, the most potent of the new compounds were 2-(2',2',2'-trifluoroethoxy)-6-oximinoestradiol, 2-ethoxy-6-oximinoestradiol, and 2-ethoxy-6-methoximinoestradiol. These agents lacked significant affinity for the estrogen receptor. The cytotoxicities of the compounds correlated in general with their abilities to inhibit tubulin polymerization, thus supporting inhibition of tubulin polymerization as the primary mechanism causing inhibition of cell growth.
