The present invention relates to heteroaromatic chalcone derivatives, particularly the compounds of formula (I) as described and defined herein, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, and their medical use, including their use in the treatment or prevention of cancer and, in particular, in the treatment or prevention of hematologic malignancies.
SAR-Guided Development and Characterization of a Potent Antitumor Compound toward B-Cell Neoplasms with No Detectable Cytotoxicity toward Healthy Cells
Acute hematological diseases (leukemias and aggressive lymphomas) can be cured in approximately half of the patients, while the other patients die from their disease. Chronic leukemias and indolent lymphomas can be well controlled for years in most cases. However, the cure rate of these patients is low and the course of the disease is characterized by frequent recurrence. Therefore, novel agents for monotherapies or combination therapies still need to be explored. The presented study describes the identification of the chalcone derivative 15 on different types of human malignant cells of the lymphoid and myeloid lineage. Further experiments performed with compound 15 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients clearly stated a higher cytotoxicity in PBMC from CLL patients compared to healthy donors (HD). The newly identified chalcone derivative 15 showed a higher therapeutic potential than fludarabine, a drug already in use in lymphoma treatment.
