Thioimidazoline based compounds reverse glucocorticoid resistance in human acute lymphoblastic leukemia xenografts

Glucocorticoids form a critical component of chemotherapy regimens for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and the initial response to glucocorticoid therapy is a major prognostic factor, where resistance is predictive of poor outcome. A high-throughput screen identified four thioimidazoline-containing compounds that reversed dexamethasone resistance in an ALL xenograft derived from a chemoresistant pediatric ALL. The lead compound (1) was synergistic when used in combination with the glucocorticoids, dexamethasone or prednisolone. Synergy was observed in a range of dexamethasone-resistant xenografts representative of B-cell precursor ALL (BCP-ALL) and T-cell ALL. We describe here the synthesis of twenty compounds and biological evaluation of thirty two molecules that explore the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of this novel class of glucocorticoid sensitizing compounds. SAR analysis has identified that the most effective dexamethasone sensitizers contain a thioimidazoline acetamide substructure with a large hydrophobic moiety on the acetamide. This journal is

Preparation of substituted guanidine derivatives

Substituted guanidine derivatives of the formula I are prepared by a) converting urea into an alkylated isourea of the formula II and b) reacting the alkylated isourea with a primary or secondary amine of the formula III where the substituents R1, R2 and R10 have the meanings explained in the description.
