A series of novel rhodanine-based acylsulfonamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as small-molecule inhibitors of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein. These compounds exhibit potent antiproliferative activity in three human tumor cell lines (Hep G2, PC-3 and B16-F10). Among them, the most potent compounds 10 and 11 bind to Bcl-2 with a K-i of 20 and 25 nM, respectively. Docking studies demonstrated that these two compounds orient similarly at the binding site of Bcl-2, and the calculated binding affinities (Glide XP score) of compound 10 is more negative than that of compound 11. The binding interactions of compounds with high binding affinity to Bcl-2 protein were analyzed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
