Synthesis and anti‐inflammatory activity of diversified heterocyclic systems

In continuation with our research program on the development of novel bioactive molecules, we report herein the design and synthesis of a series of diversified heterocycles ( 4 – 22 ). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti‐inflammatory activity. The chemical structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed by NMR, FTIR, and microanalysis.     

Novel quinazolin‐4(3H)‐one linked to 1,2,3‐triazoles: Synthesis and anticancer activity

In this work, a wide range of novel quinazolin‐4(3H)‐one linked to 1,2,3‐triazoles was designed, synthesized, and evaluated against a panel of three human breast (MDA‐MB‐231, MCF‐7, T‐47D), lung (A549), and prostate (PC3) cancer cell lines. Our results revealed that the anticancer activity of the synthesized compounds was selectively affected by the presence of methoxy group on the linker between quinazolinone and 1,2,3‐triazole moieties. According to the calculated IC₅₀ values, compounds 6q , 6w , and 6x showed good cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines even more effective than the reference drug, etoposide. Compounds 6q and 6u were found to be potent compounds against A549, non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC), comparing with erlotinib. Also, the morphological analysis by acridine orange/ethidium bromide double staining test and flow cytometry analysis indicated that potent compounds induced apoptosis in human cancer cell lines. Molecular docking studies were performed to clarify the inhibition mode of compounds 6g , 6u , 6w , and 6x over the EGFR active site. The most promising compounds, 6q and 6u , possessing 3‐methoxy group were well oriented to the gatekeeper hydrophobic pocket of EGFR active site and interact well with Ala719, Val702, and Leu820 through hydrophobic interaction.

Antagonistic and agonistic effects of quinazoline tyrosine kinase inhibitors on mutant EGF receptor function

A mutated form of the EGF receptor (EGFRvIII), resulting from deletion of exons 2-7, is an oncogenic protein that is expressed in multiple human tumors. This mutation induces ligand-independent activation of the EGFR tyrosine kinase and thereby can initiate unregulated cell growth and tumorigenesis. Thus, inhibition of the kinase activity of EGFRvIII is a potential means of suppressing its oncogenic properties. Certain tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tyrphostins) specifically inhibit the wild-type EGFR and thereby inhibit tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrate that the quinazoline tyrphostins AG 1478 and AG 1517 can suppress morphologic transformation of cell lines by EGFRvIII. Quinazolines were found to inhibit receptor autophosphorylation and signaling through MAP kinase, but had minimal effects on association of EGFRvIII with Grb2/SOS. Low concentrations of quinazoline also increased receptor dimerization and phosphotyrosine content. This was associated with increases in colony formation in soft agar and increased invasion through matrigel for AG 1478. Thus, both AG 1478 and AG 1517 can inhibit multiple EGFRvIII signaling pathways, but at low concentrations AG 1478 can enhance colony formation, presumably related to augmented homodimerization of the receptor and activation of downstream signaling.

Antitumor activity of a novel EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor against human lung carcinoma in vitro and in vivo

Summary  Treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) has led to dramatic clinical improvement in selected patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, intrinsic and acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI remains a common phenomenon. Novel EGFR-TKI, structurally different with erlotinib or gefitinib might be beneficial for patients with NSCLC. In this study, we examined the antitumor effect of a newly synthesized novel EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Zhao260054). In vitro studies in a panel of four different human lung cancer cell lines revealed that Zhao260054 inhibited cell proliferation with high potency and induced G₀/G₁ arrest of cell cycle and apoptosis. Zhao260054 markedly reduced phosphorylation of EGFR and inhibited activation of ERK1/2 and AKT. Oral administration of Zhao260054 (200 mg/kg/day) to BALB/c nude mice bearing SPC-A1 xenografts significantly retarded tumor growth. In conclusion, Zhao260054 has potent antitumor activity on human lung cancer in vitro and in vivo.     

Synthesis,Cytotoxicity by Bioluminescence Inhibition,Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity of ([1,2,4]Triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolin-2-ylthio)carboxylic Acid Amides

We report in this work the synthesis, cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial activity of ([1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolin-2-ylthio)carboxylic acid amides 4 – 7 in connection with our previous research in the preparation of triazoloquinazoline derivatives. Due to simplicity, general availability of starting materials, and high yields, the most reliable method of synthesis appeared to be the one with N,N-carbonyldiimidazole activation stage. The chemical structures of all obtained substances were deduced from FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, EI-MS, and LC-MS spectral data. The results of cytotoxicity evaluated by bioluminescence inhibition of bacterium Photobacterium leiognathi, strain Sh1 showed that compounds 4.1 , 4.6 , and 6.1 were the most cytotoxic. Investigation of the antimicrobial and antifungal activity of amides 4 – 7 (concentration 5 mg/mL) was carried out by the stiff-plate agar-diffusion method. We found that the compounds possessed low ( 4.1 , 4.7 ) antifungal activity against Candida tenuis and strong ( 4.21 , 5.1 , 5.9 ) or inefficient ( 4.7 , 4.12 , 4.16 ) activity against Aspergillus niger. Substances 5.1 and 5.9 slightly affected Mycobacterium luteum. Staphylococcus aureus was resistant to all obtained substances, and only the n-butyramide derivatives 7.1 and 7.5 inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli. Hence, there was no strong correlation between bioluminescence inhibition and antimicrobial activity of the investigated substances.     

Synthesis of novel 3-butyl-2-substituted amino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones as analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents

A variety of novel 3-butyl-2-substituted amino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones were synthesized by reacting the amino group of 3-butyl-2-hydrazino-3H-quinazolin-4-one with various aldehydes and ketones. The title compounds were investigated for analgesic, anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic index activities. The compound 3-butyl-2-(1-methylbutylidene-hydrazino)-3H-quinazolin-4-one (AS3) emerged as the most active analgesic agent. Compound 3-butyl-2-(1-ethylpropylidene-hydrazino)-3H-quinazolin-4-one (AS2) emerged as the most active anti-inflammatory agent and is moderately more potent when compared to the reference standard diclofenac sodium. Interestingly, the test compounds showed only mild ulcerogenic potential when compared to aspirin.
