The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series novel N1?methyl pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidines as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and colchicine binding were described here. Synthesis of target compounds involved alkylation of the pyrazolo scaffold, which afforded two regioisomers. These were separated, characterized and identified with 1H NMR and NOESY spectroscopy. All compounds, except 10, inhibited [3H]colchicine binding to tubulin, and the potent inhibition was similar to that obtained with CA-4. Compounds 9 and 11–13 strongly inhibited the polymerization of tubulin, with IC50 values of 0.45, 0.42, 0.49 and 0.42 μM, respectively. Compounds 14–16 inhibited the polymerization of tubulin with IC50s near ~1 μM. Compounds 9, 12, 13 and 16 inhibited MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines and circumvented βIII-tubulin mediated cancer cell resistance to taxanes and other MTAs, and compounds 9–17 circumvented Pgp-mediated drug resistance. In the standard NCI testing protocol, compound 9 exhibited excellent potency with low to sub nanomolar GI50 values (≤10 nM) against most tumor cell lines, including several multidrug resistant phenotypes. Compound 9 was significantly (P 0.0001) better than paclitaxel at reducing MCF-7 TUBB3 (βIII-tubulin overexpressing) tumors in a mouse xenograft model. Collectively, these studies support the further preclinical development of the pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold as a new generation of tubulin inhibitors and 9 as an anticancer agent with advantages over paclitaxel.

USP7 as a deubiquitinase plays important roles in regulating the stability of some oncoproteins including MDM2 and DNMT1, and thus represents a potential anticancer target. Through comparative analysis of USP7 co-crystal structures in complex with the rep

Excessive phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) plays a major role in the dysregulation of mRNA translation and the activation of tumor cell signaling. eIF4E is exclusively phosphorylated by mitogen-activated protein kinase interacting kinases 1 and 2 (MNK1/2) on Ser209. So, MNK1/2 inhibitors could decrease the level of p-eIF4E and regulate tumor-associated signaling pathways. A series of pyridone–aminal derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as MNK1/2 inhibitors. Several compounds exhibited great inhibitory activity against MNK1/2 and selected compounds showed moderate to excellent anti-proliferative potency against hematologic cancer cell lines. In particular, compound 42i (MNK1 IC50 = 7.0 nM; MNK2 IC50 = 6.1 nM) proved to be the most potent compound against TMD-8 cell line with IC50 value of 0.91 μM. Furthermore, 42i could block the phosphorylation level of eIF4E in CT-26 cell line, and 42i inhibited the tumor growth of CT-26 allograft model significantly. These results indicated that compound 42i was a promising MNK1/2 inhibitor for the potent treatment of colon cancer.
