Design, synthesis, and in vitro characterization of novel hybrid peptidomimetic inhibitors of STAT3 protein
摘要:
Aberrant activation of oncogenic signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) protein signaling pathways has been extensively implicated in human cancers. Given STAT3's prominent dysregulatory role in malignant transformation and tumorigenesis, there has been a significant effort to discover STAT3-specific inhibitors as chemical probes for defining the aberrant STAT3-mediated molecular events that support the malignant phenotype. To identify novel, STAT3-selective inhibitors suitable for interrogating STAT3 signaling in tumor cells, we explored the design of hybrid molecules by conjugating a known STAT3 inhibitory peptidomimetic, ISS610 to the high-affinity STAT3-binding peptide motif derived from the ILR/gp-130. Several hybrid molecules were examined in in vitro biophysical and biochemical studies for inhibitory potency against STAT3. Lead inhibitor 14aa was shown to strongly bind to STAT3 (K-D = 900 nM), disrupt STAT3: phosphopeptide complexes (K-i = 5 mu M) and suppress STAT3 activity in in vitro DNA binding activity/electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Moreover, lead STAT3 inhibitor 14aa induced a time-dependent inhibition of constitutive STAT3 activation in v-Src transformed mouse fibroblasts (NIH3T3/v-Src), with 80% suppression of constitutively-active STAT3 at 6 h following treatment of NIH3T3/v-Src. However, STAT3 activity recovered at 24 h after treatment of cells, suggesting potential degradation of the compound. Results further showed a suppression of aberrant STAT3 activity in NIH3T3/v-Src by the treatment with compound 14aa-OH, which is the non-pTyr version of compound 14aa. The effect of compounds 14aa and 14aa-OH are accompanied by a moderate loss of cell viability. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The palladium-catalyzedannulation of arynes by substituted o-halobenzamides produces N-substituted phenanthridinones in good yields. This methodology provides this important heterocyclic ring system in a single step by simultaneous C–C and C–N bond formation, under relatively mild reaction conditions, and tolerates a variety of functional groups.

日期:2009.3.19
CuI/L-proline catalyzed coupling of 2-bromobenzamides and terminal alkynes in PrOH (or DMF and DMSO) at 85-110 degrees C and subsequent additive cyclization produces substituted 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-ones. Variation of N-substituents, aromatic ring, and methylene part is possible by using suitable starting materials.
