Antitumor Agents. 211. Fluorinated 2-phenyl-4-quinolone derivatives as antimitotic antitumor agents.

Fluorinated 2-phenyl-4-quinolone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in National Cancer Institute's 60 human tumor cell line in vitro screen. From the results, the ketone moiety plays an essential role in activity. Among the compounds tested, 2'-fluoro-6-pyrrol-2-phenyl-4-quinolone (13) exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activities (log GI(50) < -8.00) against renal and melanoma tumor cell lines. Compound 13 was also a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization (IC(50) = 0.46 microM) and of radiolabeled colchicine binding to tubulin, with activities comparable to those of the potent antimitotic natural products colchicine, podophyllotoxin, and combretastatin A-4.

QSAR studies of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives as anticancer drugs using RASMS method

A method—RASMS (random sampling analysis on molecular surface)—was used to describe the chemical structures of 65 imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives as anticancer drugs. Here a quantitative structure activity relationship model was built by multiple linear regression (MLR). The estimation stability and prediction ability of the model were strictly analyzed by both internal and external validations. The correlation coefficients of established MLR model, leave-one-out cross-validation, and predicted values versus experimental ones of external samples were r ² = 0.782, Q _CV ²  = 0.737, and r ²(test) = 0.775, respectively. These values indicated that the built MLR model had both favorable estimation stability and good prediction capabilities. Furthermore, satisfactory results showed that RASMS could preferably express the information related to the biological activity of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives.     

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships among glycosidic derivatives of 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin and epipodophyllotoxin, showing VM26- and VP16-213-like activities

We have synthesized acetal and ketal derivatives of 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin-beta-D-glucoside (DMEPG) and epipodophyllotoxin-beta-D-glucoside (EPG) with a number of different aldehydes (viz. acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde, 3-thiophenecarboxaldehyde, 2-furancarboxaldehyde, benzaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, hydrocinnamaldehyde) and acetone. The cross resistance of these compounds towards a set of Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants resistant to either podophyllotoxin (PodR mutants) or VM26 (VpmR mutants) which exhibit mutually exclusive cross-resistance patterns toward compounds that show either podophyllotoxin- or VM26-like activities have been examined. Results of our studies show that, with the exception of 2-furan derivatives, all the remaining acetals and ketals of DMEPG and EPG showed similar cross-resistance patterns towards the VpmR and the PodR mutants, as seen with VM26 and VP16-213. These results provide strong suggestive evidence that all of these derivatives (except 2-furan) possess biological activities similar to VM26 and VP16-213, and that their cellular toxicities were due to this type of activity. The VM26-like behavior of different EPG derivatives, which lack the free 4'-OH group, provide evidence that a free 4'-OH group is not essential for VM26-like activity. However, in comparison to the EPG derivatives, the corresponding DMEPG compounds showed 10- to 30-fold higher activities, indicating an enhancing effect of the free 4'-OH group on this kind of activity. Some of the newly synthesized DMEPG and EPG derivatives show higher activity in comparison to VM26 and VP16-213, and structure-activity relationship among this group of compounds is discussed.     

Antitumor agents. 134. New shiraiachrome-A- and calphostin-C-related perylene derivatives as cytotoxic and antiviral agents and inhibitors of protein kinase C.

Shiraiachrome-A and -B have been isolated from the mycelium of the Chinese bamboo fungus Shiraia bambusicola as the cytotoxic principles. A series of new perylene derivatives (7-27) related to Shiraiachrome-A and -B as well as Calphostin-C have been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity, antiviral activity, and inhibitory activity against protein kinase C. The results indicated that 11 and 12 are potent cytotoxic agents against HCT-8, RPMI-7951, and TE-671 solid tumor cells, whereas 24 and 26 demonstrated strong antiviral activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2. Compound 10 is an inhibitor of protein kinase C.     

QSAR in a series of muscarinic agents.

The results of a pharmacological investigation on a series of 3-substituted benzyltrimethylammonium salts possessing muscarinic activity are reported. Correlative analysis shows that the pharmacodynamic activity is a function of the hydrophobic-lipophilic and steric parameters associated with the substituents. In particular, it is revealed that a lipophilic pocket of limited size is present in the muscarinic receptor at an optimal distance from the electron--rich site with which the cationic termination interacts.     

Antitumor activity of derivatives of mycophenolic acid.

One hundred and eight derivatives of mycophenolic acid (MA) have been prepared by modifications at the phenolic hydroxyl and/or carboxyl sites. None of these compounds was as effective as MA in suppressing cell growth of L-518Y cell in vitro, whereas several compounds with changes at both the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups were more effective than MA against Ehrlich solid carcinoma and L-1210 leukemia in mice.     

Antitumor agents 253. Design, synthesis, and antitumor evaluation of novel 9-substituted phenanthrene-based tylophorine derivatives as potential anticancer agents

C9-Substituted phenanthrene-based tylophorine derivatives (PBTs) (13-36) were synthesized and evaluated as in vitro anticancer agents against the human A549 lung cancer cell line. Twelve active compounds were further examined against DU-145 (prostate), ZR-751 (breast), KB (nasopharyngeal), and KB-Vin (multidrug resistant KB subline) human cancer cell lines. They showed potent cytotoxic activity against both wild type and matched multidrug resistant KB cell lines, and displayed notable selectivity toward DU-145 (prostate) and ZR-751 (breast) cancer cell lines. The mode of action of this class may be distinctly different from that of other cancer chemotherapeutic compounds. Three PBT analogs were also evaluated in a murine model. Compound 24b showed modest in vivo antitumor activity against human A549 xenograft in nude mice as well as potent in vitro cytotoxic activity, and thus, is a promising anticancer lead compound.
