Synthesis and anti-tumor activity of EF24 analogues as IKKβ inhibitors
摘要:
EF24 is an IKK beta inhibitor (IC50: 72 mu M) containing various anti-tumor activities. In this study, a series of EF24 analogs targeting IKK beta were designed and synthesized. Several IKK beta inhibitors with better activities than EF24 were screened out and B3 showed best IKK beta inhibitory (IC50: 6.6 mu M). Molecular docking and dynamic simulation experiments further confirmed this inhibitory effect. B3 obviously suppressed the viability of Hela229, A549, SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells. Then, in SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells, B3 blocked the NF-kappa B signal pathway by inhibiting IKK beta phosphorylation, and followed arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase by suppressing the Cyclin B1 and Cdc2 p34 expression, induced the cell apoptosis by down-regulating Bcl-2 protein and up-regulating cleaved-caspase3. Moreover, B3 significantly reduced tumor growth and suppressed the IKK beta-NF-kappa B signal pathway in SGC-7901 xenograft model. In total, this study present a potential IKK beta inhibitor as anti-tumor precursor. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
