Discovery and optimization of 2-thio-5-amino substituted benzoquinones as potent anticancer agents
摘要:
Based on our discovered novel lead compound 1 through phenotypic drug discovery (PDD) approaches, systematic structural optimization was performed. A series of 2-allylthio-5-amino substituted benzoquinones were synthesized and evaluated for their in-vitro anticancer activities against human prostate cancer cell line PC3. The compound 7a was found inhibit the growth of PC3 with an IC50 of 0.22 mu M, which is over 20-fold improvement compared to lead compound 1. It is noteworthy that compound 7a also showed potent anti-proliferation activity toward a panel of cancer cells with relatively less cytotoxicity to nonmalignant cell, as well as good water solubility.
