Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 3,9-diazatetraasteranes as Novel Matrilysin Inhibitors
摘要:
Matrilysin is an ideal biological target to develop novel inhibitors because it is overexpressed in malignant tumour cells. A series of 3,9‐diazatetraasteranes was designed as inhibitors of matrilysin, which was an ideal biological target because it is responsible for aggressive malignant phenotypes and poor prognoses implicated in many cancers. Docking simulation supported the initial pharmacophore hypothesis and suggested a common interaction mechanism of 3,9‐diazatetraasteranes with the catalytic site of matrilysin. The 3,9‐diazatetraasteranes were synthesized by the photocyclization of 4‐aryl‐1,4‐dihydropyridines, and their structures were determined using 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS. The inhibitory activities of these compounds on matrilysin were investigated in vitro using an MTT assay in A549 (small cell lung cancer) cells. The results show that the 3,9‐diazatetraasteranes can inhibit the growth of A549 tumour cells. The best IC50 value is approximately 50 μm. This result indicates that 3,9‐diazatetraasteranes will be useful pharmacological tools for the investigation of matrilysin inhibitors.
The multicomponentreactions of aldehydes, electron deficient alkynes and amines have been successfully performed to yield a number of symmetrical 2,6‐unsubstituted 1,4‐dihydropyridines (1,4‐DHPs). This method has been found generally applicable for the synthesis of both N‐substituted and N‐unsubstituted 1,4‐DHPs by employing secondary amine to activate the alkyne component via enaminoester intermediates

In this article, the hetero-intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) in solution was reported, wherein head-to-tail (HT) dimeric products (syn-dimers and cage dimers) were formed exclusively through successive inter- and intra-molecular [2+2] cycloaddition. The effects of irradiation wavelength, solvents and substituents on the efficiency of these transformations were

volume in γ-CD is responsible for the observed selectivity. The formation of 1:2 host-guest inclusion complex plays an important role in this reaction, and manipulates DHPs to perform [2 + 2] photodimerization as expected. In order to investigate the inclusion process, the spectral characteristics were investigated and the theoretical study was performed using density functional theory (DFT).

Vascular endothelial growth factor-2 receptor (VEGFR-2) kinase is a promising target for the development of novel anticancer drugs. Molecular docking modeling was performed on a series of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines derivatives to evaluate the structural basis for VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity. Some 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines were synthesized in the reaction of aromatic aldehydes and ethyl propiolate with anilines in acetic acid. The biological activities were evaluated against the cells A549, A431 and Hep-G2. The results indicated that 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines could be the promising potential VEGFR-2 inhibitors.
