Synthesis, anticancer evaluation and pharmacokinetic study of novel 10-O-phenyl ethers of dihydroartemisinin
摘要:
Twenty hybrid compounds, tethering dihydroartemisinin (DHA) with diaryl-pyrazoline/diaryl-pyrazole through ether linkage, were synthesized based on hybridization strategy and assessed for their anticancer activity. The representative compound 6f exhibited significantly elevated antiproliferative activity compared with DHA against a panel of cancer cell lines. Unexpected sensitivity of 6f in Adriamycinresistant MCF-7 cells (MCF-7/Adr) inspired subsequent research on anticancer activity of these DHA derivatives against breast cancer cell lines. All the novel compounds exhibited potent activity in three breast cancer cells including MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and MCF-7/Adr. Most of them exerted almost 10-fold higher potency in MCF-7/Adr than in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Compound 5f, the most potent compound against MCF-7/Adr (GI(50) = 18 nM), was used for mechanism research which revealed that compound 5f arrested MCF-7 and MCF-7/Adr cells in G0/G1 phase with decreased levels of cyclin D1 and increased levels of p27. Preliminary pharmacokinetic properties of 5f and 6f were investigated in rats after a single intravenous administration. The high sensitivity of MCF-7/Adr indicates that these compounds have potential to be developed as therapeutic agents to treat drug-resistant cancer. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

In the present work series of small molecules (5a–5m, 6a–6j) were schematically designed and synthesized using simple chemical procedures. Their structures were confirmed based upon findings from infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, and mass spectra. The derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro malonyl CoA decarboxylase inhibition activity by using fluorimetric assay. Pyrazol-1-yl-1
A novel series of 1-acetyl-3-(4-hydroxy- and 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-(1H)-pyrazole derivatives 1 - 12 have been synthesized and investigated for the ability to selectively inhibit the activity of the A and B isoforms of monoamine oxidase (MAO). The new synthesized compounds 1-12 proved to be more reversible, potent, and selective inhibitors of MAO-A than of MAO-B. Knowing that stereochemistry may be an important modulator of biological activity, we performed the semipreparative chromatographic enantioseparation of the most potent, selective, and chiral compounds, 6 and 11. The separated enantiomers were then submitted to in vitro biological evaluation while increasing their inhibitory activity and A selectivity. The (-)-6 enantiomer shows Ki(MAO-A) 2 nM and SI = 165 000, (+)-6 shows Ki(MAO-A) = 6 nM and SI = 166 666, (-)-11 shows Ki(MAO-A) = 4 nM and SI = 80 000, and (+)-11 shows Ki(MAO-A) = 7 nM and SI = 38 571.
