- Inhibitory effect of cytotoxic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic stilbene analogues on VEGF protein secretion and VEGF, hTERT and c-Myc gene expression
-
A group of 21 nitrogen-containing heterocyclic stilbene derivatives, prepared by means of Heck coupling reactions, has been investigated for their cytotoxicity as well as their ability to inhibit the production of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the activation of telomerase. The ability of these compounds to inhibit proliferation of two tumoral cell lines (HT-29 and MCF-7) and one non-tumoral cell line (HEK-293) was first determined. Subsequently, we determined the capacity of the compounds to inhibit the secretion of VEGF in the aforementioned cell lines and downregulate the expression of the VEGF, hTERT and c-Myc genes, of which the latter two are involved in controlling the activation of telomerase.

The present invention relates to compound (I) wherein R1 and R2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a (C1-C4)alkoxy group, a fluoro(C1-C4)alkoxy group, a hydroxyl group, a benzyloxy group, a di(C1-C4)alkylamino group, a pyridyl-vinyl group, a pyrimidinyl-vinyl group, a styryl group, or a -NHCOphenyl group; R3, R4 and R5 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a (C1-C4)alkyl group, a CONHR6 group, a -CONR7R8 group, a -SO2NHR6 group, or a heteroaryl group optionally substituted by a halogen atom, a -(CH2)nNR7R8 group or a hydroxy(C1-C4)alkyl group; R6 represents a hydrogen atom, a -(CHR9)m(CH2)nNR7R8 group or a (C1-C6)alkyl group optionally substituted by a hydroxyl group; or anyone of its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, for use as an agent for preventing, inhibiting or treating a disease in a patient suffering thereof, said disease involving a deregulated p53. Some of said compounds are new and also form part of the invention.
