- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of benzyloxyphenyl-methylaminophenol derivatives as STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitors
-
STAT3 signaling pathway has been validated as a vital therapeutic target for cancer therapy. Based on the novel STAT3 inhibitor of a benzyloxyphenyl-methylaminophenol scaffold hit (1) discovered through virtual screening, a series of analogues had been designed and synthesized for more potent inhibitors. The preliminary SAR had been discussed and the unique binding site in SH2 domain was predicted by molecular docking. Among them, compounds 4a and 4b exhibited superior activities than hit compound (1) against IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway with IC50 values as low as 7.71 μM and 1.38 μM, respectively. Compound 4a also displayed potent antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-468 cell line with an IC50 value of 9.61 μM. We believe that these benzyloxyphenyl-methylaminophenol derivatives represent a unique mechanism for interrogating STAT3 as well as a potential structure type for further exploration.

- Dual inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor and topoisomerase IIα derived from a quinoline scaffold
-
Based on the quinazoline bearing EGFR inhibitors, a series of thirty four compounds having a quinoline scaffold were synthesised and evaluated in vitro for EGFR kinase inhibitory activity. A structure-activity relationship study revealed that 2,4-bis(arylamino) substituted quinolines possessed better anti-EGFR kinase activity. Compounds 3f and 3m emerged as potent EGFR kinase inhibitors (200 and 210 nM, respectively) and showed excellent anticancer activity at the micromolar level against a panel of cancer cell lines comparable to erlotinib. Furthermore, representative compounds inhibited the human topoisomerase IIα selectively and catalytically, did not intercalate with DNA, increased intracellular ROS concentration (except 3m) and altered the mitochondrial membrane potential of the cancer cells. Cell cycle analysis and annexin-V staining in a lung cancer cell line showed that the compounds delayed cell cycle progression by inducing cell cycle arrest and subsequent apoptosis at the G1 phase. The facts were further corroborated through molecular modeling studies.

- 1H-imidazo?4,5-c!quinolin-4-amines
-
Novel 1H-imidazo?4,5-c!quinolin-4-amines are disclosed. The compounds function as antiviral agents and they are potential synthetic intermediates in the preparation of known antiviral agents and labeled known antiviral agents. Processes for the preparation of the compounds, methods for their antiviral use, and methods of inducing interferon biosynthesis, are also described.
