Abstract
A new series of nitric oxide-releasing estra-1,3,5,16-tetraene analogs (NO-∆-16-CIEAs) was designed and synthesized as dual inhibitors for EGFR and MRP2 based on our previous findings on estra-1,3,5-triene analog NO-CIEA 17 against both HepG2 and HepG2-R cell lines. Among the target compounds, 14a (R-isomer) and 14b (S-isomer) displayed potent anti-proliferative activity against both HepG2 and HepG2-R cell lines in comparison to the reference drug erlotinib. Remarkably, compound 14a resulted in a prominent reduction in EGFR phosphorylation at a concentration of 1.20 µM with slight activity on the phosphorylation of MEK1/2 and ERK1/2. It also inhibits MRP2 expression in a dose-dependent manner with 24% inhibition and arrested the cells in the S phase of the cell cycle. Interestingly, compound 14a (estratetraene core) exhibited a twofold increase in anti-proliferative activity against both HepG2 and HepG2-R in comparison with the lead estratriene analog, demonstrating the significance of the designed ∆-16 unsaturation. The results shed a light on compound 14a and support further investigations to combat multidrug resistance in chemotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

Steroids 2022; 177:108950. [PMID: 34933058 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2021.108950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
1,2,3-triazoles have continuously shown effectiveness as biologically active systems towards various cancers, and when used in combination with steroid skeletons as a carrier, which can act as a drug delivery system, allows for a creation of a novel set of analogs that may be useful as a pharmacophore leading to a potential treatment option for cancer. A common molecular target for cancer inhibition is that of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor/Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase pathways, as inhibition of these proteins is associated with a decrease in cell viability. Estradiol-Triazole analogs were thus designed using a molecular modeling approach. Thirteen of the high scoring analogs were then synthesized and tested in-vitro on an ovarian cancer cell line (A2780) and colorectal cancer cell line (HT-29). The most active compound, Fz25, shows low micromolar activity in both the ovarian (15.29 ± 2.19 µM) and colorectal lines (15.98 ± 0.39 µM). Mechanism of action studies proved that Fz25 moderately arrests cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, specifically inhibiting STAT3 in both cell lines. Additionally, Fz57 shows activity in the colorectal line (24.19 ± 1.37 µM). Inhibition studies in both cell lines show inhibition against various proteins in the EGFR pathway, namely EGFR, STAT3, ERK, and mTOR. To further study their effects as therapeutics, Fz25 and Fz57 were studied against drug efflux proteins, which are associated with drug resistance, and were found to inhibit the ABC transporter P-glycoprotein. We can conclude that these estradiol-triazole analogs provide a key for future studies targeting protein inhibition and drug resistance in cancer.
