- Indirubin Derivatives as Dual Inhibitors Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinase and Histone Deacetylase for Treating Cancer
-
To utilize the unique scaffold of a natural product indirubin, we herein adopted the strategy of combined pharmacophores to design and synthesize a series of novel indirubin derivatives as dual inhibitors against cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and histone deacetylase (HDAC). Among them, the lead compound 8b with remarkable CDK2/4/6 and HDAC6 inhibitory activity of IC50 = 60.9 ± 2.9, 276 ± 22.3, 27.2 ± 4.2, and 128.6 ± 0.4 nM, respectively, can efficiently induce apoptosis and S-phase arrest in several cancer cell lines. In particular, compound 8b can prevent the proliferation of a non-small-cell lung cancer cell line (A549) through the Mcl-1/XIAP/PARP axis, in agreement with the unique modes of action of the combined agents of HDAC inhibitors and CDK inhibitors. In an A549 xerograph model, compound 8b showed significant antitumor efficacy correlated with its dual inhibition. Our data demonstrated that compound 8b as a single agent could be a promising drug candidate for cancer therapy in combination with CDK and HDAC inhibitors.

- Indoxyl-based umpolung strategy for the synthesis of unsymmetrical 3,3′-biindoles
-
3,3′-Bisindoles are known to be important structural motifs found in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. Herein, a novel indoxyl-based approach was established for the synthesis of unsymmetrical 3,3′-biindoles from indoles and indoxyls. This approach generated moderate to excellent yields of the desired products (24 examples, up to 98% yield). The present method features broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, high atom economy, and utilization of non-toxic and inexpensive molecular iodine as catalyst. The applicability of this method has been demonstrated by the facile gram-scale synthesis.
