As STAT3 has been validated as an anticancer target, its inhibitors have been shown to possess therapeutic promise for the treatment of human cancers. To identify novel and selective STAT3 inhibitors, a virtual screening based on the STAT3 SH2 domain was performed and a small molecule, 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid (5a), with an inhibition constant Ki value of 17.53 μM to STAT3 was discovered
由于STAT3已被确认为抗癌靶标,因此已证明其抑制剂具有治疗人类癌症的治疗前景。为了鉴定新型和选择性的STAT3抑制剂,进行了基于STAT3 SH2结构域的虚拟筛选,以及一个小分子2-苯基喹啉-4-羧酸(5a),其抑制常数K i发现STAT3的值17.53μM。在此基础上,合成了5a的衍生物,包括酯,酰胺和二聚体。使用人乳腺癌细胞系MDA-MB-468和MCF-7测定了衍生物的生物活性和抑制选择性。在这些衍生物中,5c和9b表现出最强的抑制活性和良好的选择性,并且还抑制了MDA-MB-468细胞的STAT3蛋白水平。结果证明了虚拟筛选技术在铅发现中的成功应用。化合物9b可能是抗肿瘤药进一步开发的有效STAT3抑制剂。
