Discovery and structure-activity relationship of novel 4-hydroxy-thiazolidine-2-thione derivatives as tumor cell specific pyruvate kinase M2 activators
摘要:
Pyruvate kinase M2 isoform (PKM2) is a crucial protein responsible for aerobic glycolysis of cancer cells. Activation of PKM2 may alter aberrant metabolism in cancer cells. In this study, we discovered a 4-hydroxy-thiazolidine-2-thione compound 2 as a novel PKM2 activator from a random screening of an in-house compound library. Then a series of novel 4-hydroxy-thiazolidine-2-thione derivatives were designed and synthesized for screening as potent PKM2 activators. Among these, some compounds showed higher PKM2 activation activity than lead compound 2 and also exhibited significant anti proliferative activities on human cancer cell lines at nanomolar concentration. The compound 5w was identified as the most potent antitumor agent, which showed excellent anti-proliferative effects with IC50 values from 0.46 mu M to 0.81 mu M against H1299, HCT116, Hela and PC3 cell lines. 5w also showed less cytotoxicity in non-tumor cell line HELF compared with cancer cells. In addition, Preliminary pharmacological studies revealed that 5w arrests the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in HCT116 cell line. The best PKM2 activation by compound 5t was rationalized through docking studies. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

A new concise and facile method was explored to synthesize a series of novel chalcone derivatives containing a purine and benzenesulfonamide moiety and their antiviral properties were evaluated against TMV and CMV. Biological assays indicated that several of the derivatives exhibited significant anti-TMV and anti-CMV activities in vivo. In particular, compound d2 displayed excellent inactivating activity against TMV, with the EC50 value of 51.65 mu g/mL, which was better than that of ribavirin (150.45 mu g/mL). Molecular docking showed that there are four hydrogen bonds between compound d2 and TMV coat protein (TMV-CP). Compound d2 demonstrated strong binding capacity to TMV-CP with K-a = 1.58 x 10(5) L/mol and K-d = 12.16 mu M. These findings indicated that chalcone derivatives are worthy of further research and development as templates for new antiviral agents. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
