Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat advanced pancreatic cancers and can improve survival by 2 months in combination with gemcitabine. However, prognosis and survival improvement remain unsatisfactory, and effective therapies are urgently needed. Piperlongumine has been demonstrated to have therapeutic potentials against various cancers. In this study, we synthesized a series of piperlongumine derivatives and provided evidence that piperlongumine derivatives could be used as effective radiosensitizers in pancreatic cancer. Two compounds enhanced the radiosensitivity of Panc-1 and SW1990 cells. In a pancreatic bi-flank xenograft tumor model, they significantly inhibited tumor growth. Piperlongumine derivatives could induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression and regulate the Keap1-Nrf2 protective pathway with enhancement of radiation-induced DNA damage, G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Collectively, our data offer a proof of concept for the use of piperlongumine derivatives as a novel class of radiosensitizers for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Paragraph 0636-0638, (2020/12/13)
The present invention relates to a group of 1-[(E)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]-2,3-dihydropyridin-6-one (piperlongumine) derivatives, analogs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition and formulation containing a derivative of piperlongumine; and use of the derivatives and analogs for treating cancer, reducing inflammation and/or treating an autoimmune or inflammatory disease.

Piperlongumine 1 increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and preferably induces cancer cell apoptosis by triggering different pathways. However, the poor solubility of 1 limits its intensive investigation and clinical application. Ligustrazine possesses a water-soluble pyrazine skeleton and can inhibit proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells. We synthesized compound 3 by replacement of the trimethoxyphenyl of 1 with ligustrazine moiety and further introduced 2-Cl, -Br, and -I to 3 for synthesis of 4-6, respectively. Compound 4 possessed 14-fold greater aqueous solubility than 1 and increased ROS levels in colorectal cancer HCT-116 cells. Additionally, 4 preferably inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion, and heteroadhesion of HCT-116 cells. Treatment with 4 suppressed tumor growth and lung metastasis in vivo and prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, 4 mitigated TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and Wnt/β-catenin activation by inhibiting the Akt and GSK-3β phosphorylation in HCT-116 cells. Collectively, 4 displayed significant antiproliferation and antimetastasis activities, superior to 1.
