- Synthesis and identification of 2,4-bisanilinopyrimidines bearing 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl as potential Aurora A inhibitors
-
The Aurora kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases that interact with components of the mitotic apparatus and serve as potential therapeutic targets in oncology. Herein, we reported a series of 2,4-bisanilinopyrimidines bearing 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl with selective inhibition of Aurora A in either enzymatic assays or cellular phenotypic assays, and displaying more potent anti-proliferation compared with that of VX-680. The most potent compound 10a forms better interaction with Aurora A than Aurora B in molecular docking. Mechanistic studies revealed that 10a disrupt the spindle formation, block the cell cycle progression in the G2/M phase and induce apoptosis in HeLa cell. These results suggested that the produced series of compounds are potential anticancer agents for further development as selective Aurora A inhibitors.

- Identification of new pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as potent VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modeling
-
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) plays a crucial role in cancer angiogenesis. In the current study, a series of novel pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine based-compounds was designed and synthesized as VEGFR-2 inhibitors, in accordance to the structure activity relationship (SAR) studies of known type II VEGFR-2 inhibitors. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit VEGFR-2 kinase enzyme in vitro. All the tested compounds demonstrated highly potent dose-related VEGFR-2 inhibition with IC50 values in nanomolar range. Among these compounds, pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives carrying biaryl urea moieties (12d and 15c) exhibited IC50 values of 11.9 and 13.6 nM respectively. Additionally, most of the newly synthesized final compounds were tested on 60 human cancer cell lines. Docking of these compounds into the inactive conformation of VEGFR-2 was performed which showed comparable binding modes to that of the FDA approved VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitors. These newly discovered potent kinase inhibitors could be considered as potential candidates for the development of new targeted anticancer agent.

- Cyclooxygenase-1-selective inhibitors are attractive candidates for analgesics that do not cause gastric damage. Design and in vitro/in vivo evaluation of a benzamide-type cyclooxygenase-1 selective inhibitor
-
Although cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibition is thought to be a major mechanism of gastric damage by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), some COX-1-selective inhibitors exhibit strong analgesic effects without causing gastric damage. However, it is not clear whether their analgesic effects are attributable to COX-1-inhibitory activity or other bioactivities. Here, we report that N-(5-amino-2-pyridinyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (18f, TFAP), which has a structure clearly different from those of currently available COX-1-selective inhibitors, is a potent COX-1-selective inhibitor (COX-1 IC 50 = 0.80 ± 0.05 μM, COX-2 IC50 = 210 ± 10 μM). This compound causes little gastric damage in rats even at an oral dose of 300 mg/kg, though it has an analgesic effect at as low a dose as 10 mg/kg. Our results show that COX-1-selective inhibitors can be analgesic agents without causing gastric damage.
