Synthesis and cytotoxic properties of 4,11-bis[(aminoethyl)amino]anthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-diones, novel analogues of antitumor anthracene-9,10-diones
摘要:
We developed the synthesis of a series of thiophene-fused tetracyclic analogues of the antitumor drug ametantrone. The reactions included nucleophilic substitution of methoxy groups in 4,11-dimethoxyanthra[2,3-b] thiophene-5,10-diones with ethylenediamines, producing the derivatives of 4,11-diaminoanthra[2,3-b] thiophene-5,10-dione in good yields. Several compounds showed marked antiproliferative potency against doxorubicin-selected, P-glycoprotein-expressing tumor cells and p53 (-/-) cells. The cytotoxicity of some novel compounds for P-glycoprotein-positive cells is highly dependent on N-substituent at the terminal amino group of ethylenediamine moiety. The cytotoxic potency of selected compounds correlated with their ability to attenuate the functions of topoisomerase I and telomerase, strongly suggesting that these enzymes are the major targets of antitumor activity of anthra[2,3-b] thiophene-5,10-dione derivatives.

We prepared a series of anthrathiophenediones (ATPDs) with guanidino-alkyl side chains of different length (compounds 1, 10-13). The aim was to investigate their interaction with DNA and RNA G-quadruplexes, their uptake in malignant and nonmalignant cells, and their capacity to modulate gene expression and inhibit cell growth. Flow c-ytometry showed that the ATPDs enter more efficiently in malignant T24 bladder cells than in nonmalignant embryonic kidney 293 or fibroblast NIH 3T3 cells. In T24 malignant cells, compound 1, with two ethyl side chains, is taken up by endocytosis, while 12 and 13, with respectively propyl and butyl side chains, are transported by passive diffusion. The designed ATPDs localize in the cytoplasm and nucleus and tightly bind to DNA and RNA G-quadruplexes. They also decrease HRAS expression, increase the cell population in G(0)/(1), and strongly inhibit proliferation in malignant T24 bladder cells, but not in nonmalignant 293 or NIH 3T3 cells.

We previously found that two neighboring G-quadruplexes behave as a molecular switch controlling the expression of HRAS (Cogoi, S.; Schekotikhin, A. E.; Xodo, L. E. Nucl Acids Res. 2014,,I)01:: 10.1093/nar/gku574). In this study we have,designed anthrathiophenediones with two chloroacetamidine-containing,side chains (CATDs) as G-quadruplex binders and have examined their anticancer activity in T24 bladder cancer cells bearing mutant I-IRAS and in T24 xenografts. The designed CATD8 (3a-e); bearing alkyl side chains of different length, penetrate T24 cancer cells more than their analogues with guanidine,containing side chains. The lead compounds 3a and 3c inhibit HRAS expression, metabolic activity, and colony formation in T24 cancer cells. They also activate a strong apoptotic response, as indicated by PARP-1, caspases 3/7, and annexin V/propidium iodide assays. Apoptosis occurs under conditions where cyclin. D1 is down-regulated and the cell cycle arrested in G2 phase. Finally, compound 3a inhibits the growth of T24 xenografts and increases the median survival time of nude, mice.

Anthraquinone-based intercalating compounds, namely doxorubicin and mitoxantrone, have been used clinically based on their capacity to bind DNA and induce DNA damage. However, their applications have been limited by side effects and drug resistance. New-generation anthraquinone derivatives fused with different heterocycles have been chemically synthesized and screened for higher anticancer potency. Among the
