Aloor LJ, Skariyachan S, Raghavamenon AC, Kumar KM, Narayanappa R, Uttarkar A, Niranjan V, Cherian T. BRCA1/TP53 tumor proteins inhibited by novel analogues of curcumin - Insight from computational modelling, dynamic simulation and experimental validation. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126989. [PMID: 37739292 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
The current study aimed to design novel curcumin analogue inhibitors with antiproliferative and antitumor activity towards BRCA1 and TP53 tumor proteins and to study their therapeutic potential by computer-aided molecular designing and experimental investigations. Four curcumin analogues were computationally designed and their drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic properties were predicted. The binding of these analogues against six protein targets belonging to BRCA1 and TP53 tumor proteins were modelled by molecular docking and their binding energies were compared with that of curcumin and the standard drug cyclophosphamide and its validated target. The stabilities of selected docked complexes were confirmed by molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) and MMGBSA calculations. The best-docked analogue was chemically synthesized, characterized, and used for in vitro cytotoxic screening using DLA, EAC, and C127I cell lines. In vivo antitumor studies were carried out in Swiss Albino Mice. The study revealed that the designed analogues satisfied drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic properties and demonstrated better binding affinity to the selected targets than curcumin. Among the analogues, NLH demonstrated significant interaction with the BRCA1-BRCT-c domain (TG3; binding energy -8.3 kcal/mol) when compared to the interaction of curcumin (binding energy -6.19 kcal) and cyclophosphamide (binding energy -3.8 kcal/mol) and its usual substrate (TG7). The MDS and MM/GBSA studies revealed that the binding free energy of the NLH-TG3 complex (-61.24 kcal/mol) was better when compared to that of the cyclophosphamide-TG7 complex (-21.67 kcal/mol). In vitro, cytotoxic studies showed that NLH demonstrated significant antiproliferative activities against tumor cell lines. The in vivo study depicted NLH possesses the potential for tumor inhibition. Thus, the newly synthesized curcumin analogue is probably used to develop novel therapeutic agents against breast cancer.

Abstract
A series of novel matrine-dithiocarbamate (DTC) hybrids were efficiently synthesised from matrine through a three-step sequence involving basic hydrolysis, esterification, and DTC formation. They were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic potency on several human cancer and normal cells. All matrine-DTC hybrids were much more toxic against the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 than the parent matrine. Hybrid 4l (IC50 = 31.39 μM) was the most potent compound against HepG2 cells, being 156- and 3-fold more toxic than matrine (IC50 > 4900 μM) and the reference vincristine (VCR, IC50 = 93.67 μM), respectively. Moreover, hybrid 4l was less toxic to normal human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293T, with a higher selectivity index (SI, HEK-293T/HepG2 ≈ 6) than matrine (SI ≈ 1) and VCR (SI ≈ 1). The structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that selectivity was greatly boosted when 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl was incorporated into the hybrids (4f and 4l). In addition, the hybrid 4l was also highly toxic to the other five types of human cancer cells (Calu-1, SK-BR-3, HUH-7, 786-O and SK-OV-3; IC50 = 44.18-112.19 μM), whereas it was relatively less toxic to the corresponding normal cells (WI-38, LX-2, HEK-293T and KGN; IC50 = 81.48-195.17 μM). Further mechanistic studies showed that hybrid 4l induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner in HepG2 cells. Our results demonstrate that the cytotoxic activity of matrine can be highly enhanced by hybridisation with DTC. Hybrid 4l has promising applications in anticancer drug development.

Abstract
Styrenes have been functionalized to produce styrenyl dithiocarbamates by a one-pot two-step procedure without using any metal catalysts. Styrene was transformed into a bromo-derivative, which undergoes a domino nucleophilic substitution followed by elimination in the presence of a dithiocarbamate anion and triethylamine to produce trans-styrenyl dithiocarbamates exclusively. The reaction shows a wide substrate scope and good yields of products.

Abstract
Neocryptolepine (5-methyl-5H-indolo[2,3-b] quinoline) analogs were synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo for their effect versus Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). The analogs showed stronger cytotoxic activity against EAC cells than the reference drug. The in vivo evaluation of the target compounds against EAC-induced solid tumor in the female albino Swiss mice revealed a remarkable decrease in the tumor volume (TV) and hepatic lipid peroxidation. A noticeable increase of both superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) levels was reported (p < 0.001), which set-forth proof of their antioxidant effect. In addition, the in vitro antioxidant activity of the neocryptolepine analogs was screened out using the DPPH method and showed promising activities activity. The histopathological investigations affirmed that the tested analogs have a remarkable curative effect on solid tumors with minimal side-effect on the liver. The study also includes illustrated mechanism of the antitumor activity at the cell level by flow cytometry. The cell cycle analysis showed that the neocryptolepine analogs extensively increase the aggregation of tumor cells in three phases of the cell cycle (G0/G1, S and G2/M) with the emergence of a hypo-diploid DNA content peak (sub-G1) in the cell cycle experiments, which is a clear-cut for the apoptotic cell population. Furthermore, the immunological study manifested a significant elevation in splenic lymphocyte count (p < 0.001) with the elevation of the responsiveness of lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin (PHA). These results indicate that these naturally-based neocryptolepine alkaloids exhibit marked antitumor activity in vivo and represent an important lead in the development of natural-based anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Background:
Cancer is a far-reaching and lethal but curable disease. Researchers have
investigated numerous anticancer agents with only a few commercially available effective drugs
which are very costly.
Objective:
Herein, we report the synthesis , characterization and anti cancer assays of a series of
novel dithiocarbamates derivatives.
Methods:
All compounds were synthesized from different secondary amines and substituted benzyl
chlorides in a single step. The structures of newly synthesized dithiocarbamate derivatives
were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR and HR-MS).
Results:
The synthesized compounds showed a significant anti-proliferative effect in cancer cells
(HeLa) with the maximum inhibitory activity of compound SHD-2 with an IC50 = 0.31 ± 0.09 μM.
However, the same compound exhibited 19.2% inhibition towards Baby Hamster Kidney fibroblasts
(BHK-21), normal cell lines. Moreover, quantification of cellular DNA by flow cytometry
for the evaluation of pro-apoptotic activity in HeLa cells demonstrates that arrest in cell cycle
along with apoptosis advance towards drug cytotoxicity. However, molecular docking studies of
the potent compound suggested that it binds to the major groove of the DNA.
Conclusion:
The cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic potential of the potent inhibitor may be further investigated
in the animal models to advance their anti-cancer prospective.

Abstract
A series of dithiocarbamate esters of parthenolide (PTL) was designed, synthesised, and evaluated for their anti- acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) activities. The most promising compound 7l showed greatly improved potency against AML progenitor cell line KG1a with IC50 value of 0.7 μM, and the efficacy was 8.7-folds comparing to that of PTL (IC50 = 6.1 μM). Compound 7l induced apoptosis of total primary human AML cells and leukaemia stem cell (LSCs) of primary AML cells while sparing normal cells. Furthermore, 7l suppressed the colony formation of primary human leukaemia cells. Moreover, compound 12, the salt form of 7l, prolonged the lifespan of mice in two patient-derived xenograft models and had no observable toxicity. The preliminary molecular mechanism study revealed that 7l-mediated apoptosis is associated with mitogen-activated protein kinase signal pathway. On the basis of these investigations, we propose that 12 might be a promising drug candidate for ultimate discovery of anti-LSCs drug.

Abstract
The present study seeks to describe the design and synthesis of six new Michael adducts of (1S,4S)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-dithiocarbamate with nitrostyrenes and their in vitro antiproliferative activity against human cervical cancer cell lines [HeLa (HPV 18 positive), CaSki (HPV 16 positive) and ViBo (HPV negative) cervical cancer cell lines]. Virtual screening of the physicochemical properties of all compounds have also been presented. All the compounds exploited significant antiproliferative activity on the three cervical cancer cell lines. Compound 8a was found to be most potent, displaying in vitro antiproliferative activity against HeLa, CaSki and ViBo cervical cancer cell lines superior to Cisplatin and Paclitaxel with IC50 values 0.99 ± 0.007, 2.36 ± 0.016 and 0.73 ± 0.002 μM respectively. In addition, compound 8a did not trigger the necrosis cell death to the test cancer cell lines. Further mechanistic study revealed that compound 8a could inhibit the cancer cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis through caspase-3 activation. Moreover, cell cycle analysis indicated that compound 8a could arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase for HeLa and CaSki cancer cells. At the predetermined IC50 values on cancer cells, compound 8a did not induce any necrotic (cytotoxic) death to the normal human lymphocytes. In the present design, (1S,4S)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane system was found to be superior than the piperazine counterpart 11.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and non-small-cell lung cancer is the most common form of lung cancer. Several studies had shown that thalidomide has potential for prevention and therapy of cancer. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the antitumor effects of two novel thalidomide analogs in human lung cancer A549 cells. The antiproliferative, antimigratory, and apoptotic effects in A549 cells induced by thalidomide analogs were examined. In addition, their effects on the expression of mRNAs encoding vascular endothelial growth factor165 (VEGF165) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) were evaluated. Their influence on the tumor volume in nude mice was also determined. Results revealed that thalidomide analogs exhibited antiproliferative, antimigratory, and apoptotic activities with more pronounced effect than thalidomide drug. Furthermore, analogs 1 and 2 suppressed the expression levels of VEGF165 by 42% and 53.2% and those of MMP-2 by 45% and 52%, respectively. Thalidomide analogs 1 and 2 also reduced the tumor volume by 30.11% and 53.52%, respectively. Therefore, this study provides evidence that thalidomide analogs may serve as a new therapeutic option for treating lung cancer.

Abstract
In the title compound, C17H19NO3S2, the 2H-chromene ring system is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.080 (2) Å, and the morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation. The bond-angle sum at the N atom is 358°. The coumarin unit makes dihedral angle of 86.34 (9)° with the morpholine ring. A short intramolecular C—H...S contact generates anS(7) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds generateR22(16) loops. Aromatic π–π interactions interactions [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.8599 (13) Å] also occur.

Abstract
A series of new analogs based on the structure of lead compound 10 were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro anti-cancer activities against four selected human cancer cell lines (HL-60, Bel-7402, SK-BR-3 and MDA-MB-468). Several synthesized compounds exhibited improved anti-cancer activities comparing with lead compound 10. Among them, 1,3,4-oxadiazole analogs 17o showed highest bioactivity with IC50 values of 1.23, 0.58 and 4.29 μM against Bel-7402, SK-BR-3 and MDA-MB-468 cells, respectively. It is noteworthy that 17o has potent anti-proliferation activity toward a panel of cancer cells with relatively less cytotoxicity to nonmalignant cells. The further mechanistic study showed that it induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest through disrupting spindle assembly in mitotic progression, indicating these synthesized dithiocarbamates represented a novel series of anti-cancer compounds targeting mitosis.

Abstract
Adriamycin is a cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotic used in treatment of many types of cancer. Metformin is antidiabetic drug and is under investigation for treatment of cancer. The aim of this work was to study the effect of each of adriamycin and metformin alone and in combination on solid Ehrlich carcinoma (SEC) in mice. Eighty BALB/C mice were divided into four equal groups: SEC group, SEC+adriamycin, SEC+metformin, SEC+adriamycin+metformin. Tumor volume, survival rate, tissue catalase, tissue reduced glutathione, tissue malondialdehyde, tissue sphingosine kinase 1 activity, tissue caspase 3 activity and tissue tumor necrosis factor alpha were determined. A part of the tumor was examined for histopathological and immunohistochemical study. Adriamycin or metformin alone or in combination induced significant increase in the survival rate, tissue catalase, reduced glutathione and tissue caspase 3 activity with significant decrease in tumor volume, tissue malondialdehyde, tissue sphingosine kinase 1 activity and tumor necrosis factor alpha and alleviated the histopathological changes with significant increase in Trp53 expression and apoptotic index compared to SEC group. In conclusion, the combination of adriamycin and metformin had a better effect than each of these drugs alone against transplantable tumor model in mice.

Abstract
Eleven phthalimide derivatives were evaluated with regards to their antiproliferative activity on tumor and normal cells and possible toxic effects. Cytotoxic analyses were performed against murine tumors (Sarcoma 180 and B-16/F-10 cells) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) using MTT and Alamar Blue assays. Following, the investigation of cytotoxicity was executed by flow cytometry analysis and antitumoral and toxicological potential by in vivo techniques. The molecules 3b, 3c, 4 and 5 revealed in vitro cytotoxicity against Sarcoma 180, B-16/F-10 and PBMC. Since compound 4 was the most effective derivative, it was chosen to detail the mechanism of action after 24, 48 and 72 h exposure (22.5 and 45 µM). Sarcoma 180 cells treated with compound 4 showed membrane disruption, DNA fragmentation and mitochondrial depolarization in a time- and dose-dependent way. Compounds 3c, 4 and 5 (50 mg/kg/day) did not inhibit in vivotumor growth. Compound 4-treated animals exhibited an increase in total leukocytes, lymphocytes and spleen relative weight, a decreasing in neutrophils and hyperplasia of spleen white pulp. Treated animals presented reversible histological changes. Molecule 4 had in vitro antiproliferative action possibly triggered by apoptosis, reversible toxic effects on kidneys, spleen and livers and exhibited immunostimulant properties that can be explored to attack neoplasic cells.

Abstract
Inhibition of angiogenesis is currently perceived as a promising strategy in the treatment of cancer. The anti-angiogenicity of thalidomide has inspired a second wave of research on this teratogenic drug. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic activities of two thalidomide dithiocarbamate analogs by studying their anti-proliferative effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines. Their action on the expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, VEGF165, and MMP-2 was also assessed. Furthermore, their effect on angiogenesis was evaluated through wound healing, migration, tube formation, and nitric oxide (NO) assays. Results illustrated that the proliferation of HUVECs and MDA-MB-231 cells was not significantly affected by thalidomide at 6.25-100μM. Thalidomide failed to block angiogenesis at similar concentrations. By contrast, thalidomide dithiocarbamate analogs exhibited significant anti-proliferative action on HUVECs and MDA-MB-231 cells without causing cytotoxicity and also showed powerful anti-angiogenicity in wound healing, migration, tube formation, and NO assays. Thalidomide analogs 1 and 2 demonstrated more potent activity to suppress expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, VEGF165, and MMP-2 than thalidomide. Analog 1 consistently, showed the highest potency and efficacy in all the assays. Taken together, our results support further development and evaluation of novel thalidomide analogs as anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic agents.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biologically synthesized using aqueous extract of Agaricus bisporus fungi. Physicochemical analysis of silver nanoparticles revealed that they are of spherical shape ranged size of 8-20 nm, and their zeta potential equal -7.23 mV. Silver nanoparticles showed a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 breast cancer cells with LD50 (50 μg/ml). Mice bearing Ehrlich solid tumor treated with AgNPs and exposed to gamma radiation significantly ameliorated superoxide dismutase and catalase activity and reduced glutathione with an increase in malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels compared to tumor group. Gamma radiation with AgNPs induced apoptotic cell count in Ehrlich solid tumor cells from 68.3 (treated with AgNPs) to 98.1 % (treated with AgNPs with gamma radiation) via a mechanism involved caspase-3. Histological sections of tumor tissue of mice treated with AgNPs showed antiangiogenesis effect of AgNPs. The overall result indicates that AgNPs synergize with gamma radiation, promising a potential combined therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Hydroxymethyl glutaryl CoA reductase is the key enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. A relationship was found between cholesterol and the development of many types of cancer. Atorvastatin is a hypolipidemic drug that may have a role in treatment of cancer. Moreover, atorvastatin was reported to decrease the resistance of cancer cells to many chemotherapeutic agents. The aim of this work was to study the effect of each of methotrexate (MTX) and atorvastatin alone and in combination on solid Ehrlich carcinoma (SEC) in mice. Fifty BALB/c mice were divided into five equal groups: control untreated group, SEC, SEC+MTX, SEC+atorvastatin, SEC+MTX+atorvastatin. Tumor volume, tissue glutathione reductase (GR), catalase, malondialdehyde (MDA), cholesterol and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were determined. A part of the tumor was examined for histopathological and immunohistochemical study. MTX or atorvastatin alone or in combination induced significant increase in tissue catalase and GR with significant decrease in tumor volume, tissue MDA, cholesterol and TNF-α and alleviated the histopathological changes with significant increase in p53 expression and apoptotic index compared to SEC group. In conclusion, the combination of MTX and atorvastatin had a better effect than each of MTX or atorvastatin alone against solid Ehrlich tumor in mice.

Abstract
A novel series of 4-substituted-piperazine-1-carbodithioate derivatives of 2,4-diaminoquinazoline were synthesized and tested for their antiproliferative activities against five human cancer cell lines including A549 (lung cancer), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), HeLa (cervical carcinoma), HT29 and HCT-116 (colorectal cancer). Most of the synthesized compounds showed broad spectrum antiproliferative activity (IC50 1.47-11.83 μM), of which 8f, 8m and 8q were the most active members with IC50 values in the range of 1.58-2.27, 1.84-3.27 and 1.47-4.68 μM against five cancer cell lines examined, respectively. Further investigations revealed that compounds 8f, 8m and 8q exhibited weak inhibition against dihydrofolate reductase and no activity against thymidylate synthase, while induced DNA damage and activated the G2/M checkpoint in HCT-116 cells.

Abstract
The solvolyses of p-tolyl chlorothionoformate and p-chlorophenyl chlorothionoformate are studied in a variety of organic mixtures of widely varying nucleophilicity and ionizing power values. This solvolytic data is accumulated at 25.0 °C using the titration method. An analysis of the rate data using the extended (two-term) Grunwald-Winstein equation, and the concept of similarity of substrates based on their l/m ratios, shows the occurrence of simultaneous side-by-side addition-elimination and unimolecular SN1 mechanisms.

Abstract
Eight novel 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)phthalimidine EM-12 dithiocarbamates 9 and 10, N-substituted 3-(phthalimidin-2-yl)-2,6-dioxopiperidines 11-14 and 3-substituted 2,6-dioxopiperidines 16 and 18 were synthesized as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) synthesis inhibitors. Synthesis involved utilization of a novel condensation approach, a one-pot reaction involving addition, iminium rearrangement and elimination, to generate the phthalimidine ring required for the creation of compounds 9-14. Agents were, thereafter, quantitatively assessed for their ability to suppress the synthesis on TNF-α in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged mouse macrophage-like cellular screen, utilizing cultured RAW 264.7 cells. Whereas compounds 9, 14 and 16 exhibited potent TNF-α lowering activity, reducing TNF-α by up to 48% at 30 μM, compounds 12, 17 and 18 presented moderate TNF-α inhibitory action. The TNF-α lowering properties of these analogs proved more potent than that of revlimid (3) and thalidomide (1). In particular, N-dithiophthalimidomethyl-3-(phthalimidin-2-yl)-2,6-dioxopiperidine 14 not only possessed the greatest potency of the analogs to reduce TNF-α synthesis, but achieved this with minor cellular toxicity at 30 μM. The pharmacological focus of the presented compounds is towards the development of well-tolerated agents to ameliorate the neuroinflammation, that is, commonly associated with neurodegenerative disorders, epitomized by Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Three series of butenolide-containing dithiocarbamates were designed and synthesized. Their anti-tumor activity in vitro was evaluated. Among them compound I-14 exhibited broad spectrum anti-cancer activity against five human cancer cell lines with IC(50) <30 μM. Structure-activity relationship analysis showed that the introduction of dithiocarbamate side chains on the C-3 position of butenolide was crucial for anti-tumor activity.

Abstract
Based on a novel lead compound 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioic acid 3-cyano-3,3-diphenylpropyl ester 1, the systematic structural modification was carried out. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro anticancer activities on four to six different cell lines at three different concentrations. Most of the tested compounds could selectively inhibit the growth of HL-60 and Bel-7402 cell lines at a medium concentration. Four compounds (3f, 3g, 3n, and 5) were selected for the IC(50) test, and the results revealed that three compounds (3g, 3n, and 5) showed almost the same or a slightly weaker activity than compound 1 against HL-60, and three compounds (3f, 3g, and 3n) showed >2-fold higher potency than compound 1 against Bel-7402. The in-vivo efficacy of 3n · HCl was evaluated with transplanted hepatocyte carcinoma 22 as an in-vivo test model. It was found that 3n · HCl could inhibit significantly the growth of tumor, and that this effect was dose-dependent. Meanwhile, the compound 3n · HCl showed low toxicity compared with compound 1 · HCl as evidenced by the little body-weight loss. These results confirmed that compound 3n · HCl is more potent than the lead compound 1 · HCl. Preliminary structure-activity relationships indicated that: a) Both nitrile group and the cyclic amine containing at least two nitrogens were indispensable moieties to keep the activity; b) substitution of the piperazine ring is unfavorable for the improvement of activity; c) the suitable linker joining the piperazinyl dithiocarboxyl and diphenylacetonitril group should be ethylene; d) a non-coplanar arrangement of the two benzene rings appears to be essential for activity.
