Synthetic 2-Aroylindole Derivatives as a New Class of Potent Tubulin-Inhibitory, Antimitotic Agents
摘要:
A new class of simple synthetic antimitotic compounds based on 2-aroylindoles was discovered. (5-Methoxy-1H-2-indolyl)-phenylmethanone (1) as well as analogous 3-fluorophenyl- (36) and 3-methoxyphenyl (3) derivatives displayed high cytotoxicity Of IC50 = 20 to 75 nM against the human HeLa/KB cervical, SK-OV-3 ovarian, and U373 astrocytoma carcinoma cell lines. The inhibition of proliferation correlated with the arrest in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. In in vitro assays with tubulin isolated from bovine brain, in general antiproliferative activity correlated with inhibition of tubulin polymerization. Thus, the antimitotic activity of 2-aroylindoles is explained by interference with the mitotic spindle apparatus and destabilization of microtubules. In contrast to colchicine, vincristine, nocodazole, or taxol, I did not significantly affect the GTPase activity of beta -tubulin. Interestingly, selected compounds inhibited angiogenesis in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. In xenograft experiments, 1 was highly active after oral administration at 200 mg/kg against the human amelanocytic melanoma MEXF 989 in athymic nude mice. We conclude, that 2-aroylindoles constitute an interesting new class of antitubulin agents with the potential to be clinically developed for cancer treatment.

series of imidazo[1,2-b]thiazole derivatives is shown to activate the NAD+-dependent deacetylase SIRT1, a potential new therapeutic target to treat various metabolic disorders. This series of compounds was derived from a high throughput screening hit bearing an oxazolopyridine core. Water-solubilizing groups could be installed conveniently at either the C-2 or C-3 position of the imidazo[1,2-b]thiazole
已显示一系列咪唑并[1,2- b ]噻唑衍生物可激活NAD +依赖性脱乙酰基酶SIRT1,这是治疗各种代谢疾病的潜在新治疗靶标。该系列化合物是从带有恶唑烷吡啶核的高通量筛选命中获得的。水溶性基团可方便地安装在咪唑并[1,2- b ]噻唑环的C-2或C-3位置。可以通过修饰这些咪唑并[1,2- b ]噻唑衍生物的酰胺部分来调节SIRT1酶的活性。该系列中最有效的类似物,即化合物29,已在ob / ob小鼠模型,饮食诱发的肥胖(DIO)小鼠模型和Zucker fa / fa大鼠模型中证明了口服降糖活性。
Solid phase combinatorial synthesis of benzothiazoles and evaluation of topoisomerase II inhibitory activity
To investigate one possible mechanism of action of the cytotoxic activity of benzothiazoles, we synthesized 2-(substituted-phenyl)benzothiazoles and evaluated their ability to inhibit topoisomerase 11 activities. Solid phase combinatorial method using trityl resin was employed and benzothiazole derivatives with Various substitution on 2'-, 3'-, or 4'-position of phenyl group were obtained in ca. 30 mg scale (7-96% yield). Most of the compounds synthesized exhibited topoisomerase 11 inhibitory activity at 100 mu M. 2-(3-Amino-4-methylphenyl)benzothiazole showed high activity (IC50 = 71.7 mu M), comparable to etoposide (IC50 = 78.4 mu M).
