Synthesis and evaluation of sulfonamide derivatives of quinoxaline 1,4-dioxides as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. RSC Adv 2024; 14:23257-23272. [PMID: 39045402 PMCID: PMC11265520 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra04548c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
A series of sulfonamide-derived quinoxaline 1,4-dioxides were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases (CA) with antiproliferative potency. Overall, the synthesized compounds demonstrated good inhibitory activity against four CA isoforms. Compound 7g exhibited favorable potency in inhibiting a CA IX isozyme with a K i value of 42.2 nM compared to the reference AAZ (K i = 25.7 nM). Nevertheless, most of the synthesized compounds have their highest activity against CA I and CA II isoforms over CA IX and CA XII. A molecular modeling study was used for an estimation of the binding mode of the selected ligand 7g in the active site of CA IX. The most active compounds (7b, 7f, 7h, and 18) exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against MCF-7, Capan-1, DND-41, HL60, and Z138 cell lines, with IC50 values in low micromolar concentrations. Moreover, derivatives 7a, 7e, and 8g showed similar hypoxic cytotoxic activity and selectivity compared to tirapazamine (TPZ) against adenocarcinoma cells MCF-7. The structure-activity relationships analysis revealed that the presence of a halogen atom or a sulfonamide group as substituents in the phenyl ring of quinoxaline-2-carbonitrile 1,4-dioxides was favorable for overall cytotoxicity against most of the tested cancer cell lines. Additionally, the presence of a carbonitrile fragment in position 2 of the heterocycle also had a positive effect on the antitumor properties of such derivatives against the majority of cell lines. The most potent derivative, 3-trifluoromethylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide 7h, demonstrated higher or close antiproliferative activity compared to the reference agents, such as doxorubicin, and etoposide, with an IC50 range of 1.3-2.1 μM. Analysis of the obtained results revealed important patterns in the structure-activity relationship. Moreover, these findings highlight the potential of selected lead sulfonamides on the quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide scaffold for further in-depth evaluation and development of chemotherapeutic agents targeting carbonic anhydrases.

Abstract
Purpose: The high mortality rate of malignant tumors is often attributable to the loss of surgical opportunities due to late diagnosis when invasion and metastasis have significantly affected the patient. A hypoxic microenvironment can promote the progression of malignant tumors. This study explored the invasion resistance and migration ability of luteolin-Zn complexes. Methods: We created a low-oxygen environment using a 3-atmosphere incubator. The appropriate drug concentration was determined using the CCK8 experiment. We determined its role in cell invasion and migration through scratch and transwell experiments. Western blotting, polymerase chain reaction, and cellular immunity experiments were used to study the mechanism and its impact on the secretion of invasion and migration factors. Results: Our results indicated that the luteolin-Zn complex significantly reduced MMP2, MMP9, N-Ca, and HIF-1ɑ expression. It also upregulated TIMP1 and E-Ca expression. Moreover, its capabilities may be achieved by regulating the AMPK/mTOR and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways. Conclusions: The luteolin-Zn complex was highly resistant to the invasion and migration of M2-like tumor-related macrophages. This may exert a unique influence on mTOR by integrating various signals. This study suggests that the luteolin-Zn complex has a strong anticancer effect under hypoxic conditions.

Abstract
Gastric carcinoma (GC) is a pernicious neoplasm with high morbidity and mortality. Sinomenine (SIN) has long been exploited to heal rheumatoid arthritis. Recently, SIN has been discovered to exert the antitumour functions in diverse cancers. However, the impacts of SIN on GC remain indistinct. We attempted to expose the antitumour effect of SIN on GC. MKN45 and SGC-7901 cells were administered with SIN for 24 hours, cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and the associated proteins in the above processes were examined via exploiting CCK-8, BrdU, flow cytometry, Transwell and Western blot. MiR-204 expression in GC tumour tissues, different GC cell lines and SIN-stimulated GC cells was investigated by executing RT-qPCR. The above cell biological processes were reassessed after transfection with miR-204 inhibitor. The latent mechanisms were probed by examining AMPK and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. We found that SIN memorably repressed cell proliferation, evoked apoptosis and affected CyclinD1, Bcl-2, Bax and cleaved-caspase-3 expression in MKN45 and SGC-7901 cells. Cell migration, invasion and expression of MMP-9 and Vimentin were all restrained by SIN stimulation. The increase of miR-204 was discovered in GC tissues and SIN-treated MKN45 and SGC-7901 cells. But suppression of miR-204 was observed in AGS, MKN28, MKN45 and SGC-7901 cells. Suppression of miR-204 overturned the inhibitory functions of SIN in MKN45 and SGC-7901 cells. Besides, SIN prohibited AMPK and Wnt/β-catenin pathways via enhancement of miR-204. In conclusion, these findings suggested that SIN exerted the antitumour activity in GC cells by hindering AMPK and Wnt/β-catenin pathways via enhancement of miR-204.

Abstract
Keratinocyte migration, the initial event and rate-limiting step in wound healing, plays a vital role in restoration of the intact skin barrier, also known as re-epithelialization. After acute tissue injury, hypoxic microenvironment gradually develops and acts as an early stimulus to initiate the healing process. Although we have previously found that hypoxia induces keratinocyte migration, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we first observed that hypoxia increased mTORC1 activity. Recombinant lentivirus vector and Rapamycin were used for silencing mTORC1 in HaCaT cells and primary mouse keratinocytes (MKs). Using cell migration assay and a Zeiss chamber equipped with imaging system, we also demonstrated that mTORC1 downregulation reversed hypoxia-induced keratinocyte motility and lateral migration. Importantly, hypoxia-activated mTORC1 was accompanied by the AMPK downregulation, and we found that the AMPK pathway activators Metformin (Met) and 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide 1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR) decreased the mTORC1 activity, cell motility and lateral migration. Thus, our results suggest that hypoxia regulates mTORC1-mediated keratinocyte motility and migration via the AMPK pathway.
