- Potent hydrazone derivatives targeting esophageal cancer cells
-
Hydrazone and their derivatives are a series of highly active molecules, which are widely used as lead compounds for the research and development of new anti-cancer drugs. In this study, 20 compounds were synthesized, based on this scaffold and their in vitro cytotoxicity against 6 cancer cell lines, including EC9706, SMMC-7721, MCF7, PC3, MGC-803 and EC109 was tested. Among them, compound 6p, showed strong anti-proliferative activities on esophageal carcinoma cells: EC9706 and EC109 with IC50 values of 1.09 ± 0.03 and 2.79 ± 0.45 μM, respectively. 6p also significantly induces both EC9706 and EC109 cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase and cell apoptosis, as well as intracellular ROS accumulation, which could be markedly reversed caspase or ROS inhibitor: NAC. Meanwhile, treatment of compound 6p results in significant declined mitochondria membrane potential, increases in the expression of P53 and bax, as well as decrease in Bcl-2. 6p also activates caspase-8/9/3, PARP and Bid, indicating that 6p induces cancer cell apoptosis via the death receptor-mediated extrinsic pathway and the mitochondria-mediated intrinsic pathway. Further studies also proved that 6p does not show obvious side effects at cellular and in vivo levels. Our findings suggested that hydrazone derivative: compound 6p may serve as a lead compound for further optimization against esophageal cancer cells.

- Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 4-Sulfamoylphenyl/Sulfocoumarin Carboxamides as Selective Inhibitors of Carbonic Anhydrase Isoforms hCA II, IX, and XII
-
With the aim to develop potent and selective human carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (hCAIs), we synthesized 4-sulfamoylphenyl/sulfocoumarin benzamides (series 5 a–r and series 7 a–q) and evaluated their inhibition profiles against five isoforms of the zinc-containing human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1): cytosolic hCA I and II, and the transmembrane isozymes hCA IV, IX, and XII. Compounds 5 a–r were found to selectively inhibit hCA II in the nanomolar range, while being less effective against the other hCA isoforms. As noted from the literature, sulfocoumarin (1,2-benzoxathiine 2,2-dioxide) acts as a “prodrug” inhibitor and is hydrolyzed by the esterase activity of hCA to form 2-hydroxyphenylvinylsulfonic acid, which thereafter binds to the enzyme in a manner similar to that of coumarins and sulfoxocoumarins. All these sulfocoumarins (compounds 7 a–q) were found to be very weak or ineffective as inhibitors of the housekeeping off-target hCA isoforms I and II, and effectively inhibited the transmembrane tumor-associated isoforms IX and XII in the high nanomolar to micromolar ranges. Further structural modifications of these molecules could be useful for the development of effective hCA inhibitors used for the treatment of glaucoma, epilepsy, and cancer.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel (E)-N′-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene) benzohydrazides as potent LSD1 inhibitors
-
Lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) plays an important role in regulating histone lysine methylation at residues K4 and K9 on histone H3 and is recognized as an attractive therapeutic target in multiple malignancies. In this study, a series of novel (E)-N′-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene) benzohydrazides were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their potential LSD1 inhibitory effect. Among them, compounds 5a and 5n showed the most potent LSD1 inhibitory activity with IC50values of 1.4 and 1.7?nM, respectively, which were about 10 times more potent compared with (E)-N-(1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl) ethylidene)-3-(morpholinosulf-only) benzohydrazide (J. Med. Chem. 2013, 56, 9496–9508; as reference compound). Compounds 5a and 5n also exhibited marked anti-proliferation activities against cancer cell lines that highly expressed LSD1. These results suggest that these optimized compounds might be served as promising LSD1 inhibitors against cancer, which merit further study.

- Structure optimization of 2-benzamidobenzoic acids as PqsD inhibitors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections and elucidation of binding mode by SPR, STD NMR, and molecular docking
-
Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs a characteristic pqs quorum sensing (QS) system that functions via the signal molecules PQS and its precursor HHQ. They control the production of a number of virulence factors and biofilm formation. Recently, we have shown that sulfonamide substituted 2-benzamidobenzoic acids, which are known FabH inhibitors, are also able to inhibit PqsD, the enzyme catalyzing the last and key step in the biosynthesis of HHQ. Here, we describe the further optimization and characterization of this class of compounds as PqsD inhibitors. Structural modifications showed that both the carboxylic acid ortho to the amide and 3′-sulfonamide are essential for binding. Introduction of substituents in the anthranilic part of the molecule resulted in compounds with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. Binding mode investigations by SPR with wild-type and mutated PqsD revealed that this compound class does not bind into the active center of PqsD but in the ACoA channel, preventing the substrate from accessing the active site. This binding mode was further confirmed by docking studies and STD NMR.

- Correlation of carboxylic acid pKa to protein binding and antibacterial activity of a novel class of bacterial translation inhibitors
-
Previously we reported the discovery and initial optimization of a novel anthranilic acid derived class of antibacterial agents which suffered from extensive protein binding. This report describes efforts directed toward understanding the relationship of the acidity of the carboxylic acid with the extent of protein binding. The pKa of the acid was modified via the synthesis of a number of anthranilic acid analogs which vary the aromatic ring substituent at the 4-position. The pKa and HSA binding constants have been determined for each of the analogs. Our results indicate a correlation between pKa and HSA Kd. The physical properties and antibacterial activities will be discussed as well as how these results help address the protein binding issue with this series of compounds.

- Synthesis of (bis)sulfonic acid, (bis)benzamides as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) antagonists.
-
Screening efforts identified (bis)sulfonic acid, (bis)benzamides (1-3) as compounds that interact with the follicle stimulating-hormone receptor (FSHR) and inhibit FSH-stimulated cAMP accumulation with IC(50) values in the low micromolar range. Structure-activity relationship studies using novel analogues of 1-3 revealed that two phenylsulfonic acid moieties were necessary for activity and that the carbon-carbon double bond of the stilbene sub-series was the optimum spacer connecting these groups. Selected analogues (2, 14, and 50) were also able to block FSHR-dependent estradiol production in rat primary ovarian granulosa cells and progesterone secretion in a clonal mouse adrenal Y1 cell line. IC(50) values for these compounds in these assays were in the low micromolar range. Optimization of the benzoic acid side chains of 1-3 led to gains in selectivity versus activity at the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (TSHR). For instance, while stilbene (bis)sulfonic acid congener 2 was only 10-fold selective for FSHR over TSHR, analogue 50 with an IC(50) value of 0.9 microM in the FSHR-cAMP assay was essentially inactive at 30 microM in the TSHR-cAMP assay.
