- Effect of O6-substituted guanine analogs on O6-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase Expression and glioblastoma cells viability
-
Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is often associated with a poor survival prognostic for patients. The main reason seems to be the acquired or inherent resistance to the chemotherapeutic agent used to treat the tumor, temozolomide (TMZ). To this day, the most recognized pathway of resistance is the DNA Direct Repair pathway by the means of the protein O6-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT). Objectives: To design and synthesize a series of MGMT inhibitors that can sensitize GBM cells to TMZ. Methods: Twenty-five O6-alkyl, O6-aryl and O6-substituted-aryl guanine analogs including nine novel compounds were synthesized, characterized, analyzed by molecular docking and tested on the T98G GBM cells viability. Results: Following molecular modeling with MGMT, the newly designed compounds 19, 22, and 24 emerged as the most promising MGMT ligands and displayed modest cytotoxicity. Guanine analog (19), bearing a p-nitrobenzyl moiety, reduced considerably the O6-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase expression level. When combined with TMZ (1), which is used as first line treatment for brain tumors, compounds 19, 22, and 24 decreased T98G cells?proliferation by 32%, 68% and 50%, respectively. TMZ (1) displayed negligible effect on the proliferation of these cells further supporting the notion that this cell model is resistant to this alkylating agent. Conclusion: Overall, these results notably highlight a group of MGMT inhibitors that warrants further exploration in the development of therapeutic options to circumvent TMZ resistance in brain tumors.

- Resistance-modifying agents. 8. Inhibition of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase by O6-alkenyl-, O6-cycloalkenyl-, and O6-(2-oxoalkyl)guanines and potentiation of temozolomide cytotoxicity in vitro by O6-(1-cyclopentenylmethyl) guanine

A series of O6-allyl- and O6-(2-oxoalkyl)guanines were synthesized and evaluated, in comparison with the corresponding O6-alkylguanines; as potential inhibitors of the DNA-repair protein O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT). Simple O6-alkyl- and O6-cycloalkylguanines were weak AGT inactivators compared with O6-allylguanine (IC50 = 8.5 ± 0.6 μM)with IC50 values ranging from 100 to 1000 μM. The introduction of substituents at C-2 of the allyl group of O6-allylguanine reduced activity compared with the parent compound, while analogous compounds in the O6-(2-oxoalkyl)guanine series exhibited very poor activity (150-1000 μM). O6-Cycloalkenylguanines proved to be excellent AGT inactivators, with 1-cyclobutenylmethylguanine (IC50 = 0.55 ± 0.02 μM) and 1-cyclopentenylmethylguanine(IC50 = 0.39 ± 0.04 μM) exhibiting potency approaching that of the benchmark AGT inhibitor O6-benzylguanine (IC50 = 0.18 ± 0.02 μM). 1-Cyclopentenylmethylguanine also inactivated AGT in intact HT29 human colorectal carcinoma cells (IC50 = 0.20 ± 0.07 μM) and potentiated the cytotoxicity of the monomethylating antitumor agent Temozolomide by approximately 3- and 10-fold, respectively, in the HT29 and Colo205 tumor cell lines. The observation that four mutant AGT enzymes resistant to O6-benzylguanine also proved strongly cross-resistant to 1-cyclopentenylmethylguanine indicates that the O6-substituent of each compound makes similar binding interactions within the active site of AGT.
