ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci 2024; 7:384-394. [PMID: 38357282 PMCID: PMC10863432 DOI: 10.1021/acsptsci.3c00239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Focusing on the molecular docking results, a series of 3,4-diarylisoxazoles, analogues of Combretastatin A4, bearing various substituents at the fifth position of the isoxazole ring and pharmacophore groups bioisosteric to methoxy substituent at ring B, were synthesized in good yields and high regioselectivity. Depending on the substituent at C5, three approaches were chosen for the construction of isoxazole ring, including nitrosation of gem-dihalocyclopropanes, nitrile oxide synthesis, and difluoromethoxylation of isoxazolone to afford 5-haloisoxazoles, 5-unsubstituted isoxazoles, and 5-difluoromethoxyisoxazoles, respectively. Isoxazoles 43 and 45 showed selective cytotoxicity and antitubulin inhibition properties in vitro, with pharmacodynamic profiles closely related to that of CA-4. Both of them slow down tumor growth (66-74%) in mouse xenografts and slightly exceed in effectiveness Combretastatin A4-phosphate itself.

Abstract
Among the known strategies directed towards the synthesis of isoxazole derivatives, the reactions of aldehydes with primary nitro compounds deserve a comprehensive treatment, including the historical development as well as the more recent applications. The reactions of aldehydes with primary nitro compounds in a 1 : 2 molar ratio have been shown to lead to isoxazoline-N-oxides or isoxazole derivatives, via β-dinitro derivatives. Several modifications of the process allowed the formation of products bearing substituents at various positions of the heterocyclic ring with control of regioselectivity. Ketones are reported to react with primary nitro compounds, only if activated (β-diketones, α-nitroketones, or strained ketones), to give isoxazole derivatives. Symmetric 2,4-dinitroglutarates formed from aromatic aldehydes and nitroacetate undergo ring closure to form isoxazole derivatives or, according to reaction conditions, 5-hydroxy-6-oxo-4-aryl-6H-1,2-oxazine-3-carboxylates ("oxazinones"), by loss of alcohol instead of water. Isoxazole-4-carbaldehydes are obtained by the reaction of 3-oxetanone with primary nitro compounds.

Abstract
Cytostatic activity of combretastatin A-4, its 11 analogues, and paclitaxel (Taxacad) was evaluated in vitro on human tumor cells A549 (lung adenocarcinoma) and PC-3 (prostate adenocarcinoma) in order to find the active and stable compound as a promising antitumor agent. 5-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-isoxazole (compound 123124) and 3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-isoxazole (compound 29310186) demonstrated the highest cytostatic activity (IC50≈8×10-9 М). The activity of two other cytotoxic compounds (2E)-1-(7-methoxy-2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (compound 104815) and 4-(3-amino-4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole hydrochloride (compound 198732) was close to that of Taxacad: IC50 65×10-9 and 80×10-9 М, respectively, and are also promising active components for the development of antitumor drugs.

Abstract
A series of novel antimitotic agents was designed using the replacement of heterocyclic cores in two tubulin-targeting lead molecules with the acylated 4-aminoisoxazole moiety. Target compounds were synthesized via heterocyclization of β-aryl-substituted vinylketones by tert-butyl nitrite in the presence of water as a key step. 4-Methyl-N-[5-methyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)isoxazol-4-yl]benzamide (1aa) was found to stimulate partial depolymerization of microtubules of human lung carcinoma A549 cells at a high concentration of 100 µM and to totally inhibit cell growth (IC50 = 0.99 µM) and cell viability (IC50 = 0.271 µM) in the nanomolar to submicromolar concentration range. These data provide evidence of the multitarget profile of the cytotoxic action of compound 1aa. The SAR study demonstrated that the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl residue is the key structural parameter determining the efficiency both towards tubulin and other molecular targets. The cytotoxicity of 3-methyl-N-[5-methyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)isoxazol-4-yl]benzamide (1ab) to the androgen-sensitive human prostate adenocarcinoma cancer cell line LNCaP (IC50 = 0.301 µM) was approximately one order of magnitude higher than that to the conditionally normal cells lines WI-26 VA4 (IC50 = 2.26 µM) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (IC50 = 5.58 µM) and significantly higher than that to primary fibroblasts (IC50 > 75 µM).

Abstract
Although significant progress over several decades has been evidenced in cancer therapy, there still remains a need for the development of novel and effective therapeutic strategies to treat several relapsed and intractable cancers. In this regard, tubulin protein has become one of the efficient and major targets for anticancer drug discovery. Considering the antimitotic ability, several tubulin inhibitors have been developed to act against various cancers. Among various tubulin inhibitors available, combretastatin-A4 (CA-4), a naturally occurring lead molecule, offers exceptional cytotoxicity (including the drug-resistant cell lines) and antivascular effects. Although CA-4 offers exceptional therapeutic efficacy, several new advancements have been proposed, such as the structural modification via A and B rings, as well as cis-olefinic bridging, which provide highly efficient analogs with improved tubulin-binding efficiency to meet the anticancer drug development requirements. This review systematically emphasizes the recent trends and latest developments in the anticancer drug design & discovery, using CA-4 analogs as the tubulin inhibiting agents, highlighting their structure-activity relationships (SAR) and resultant pharmacological efficacies.

Abstract
A convenient synthetic approach to novel functionalized bis(isoxazoles), the promising bivalent ligands of the AMPA receptor, was elaborated. It was based on the heterocyclization reactions of readily available electrophilic alkenes with the tetranitromethane-triethylamine complex. The structural diversity of the synthesized compounds was demonstrated. In the electrophysiological experiments using the patch clamp technique on Purkinje neurons, the compound 1,4-phenylenedi(methylene)bis(5-aminoisoxazole-3-carboxylate) was shown to be highly potent positive modulator of the AMPA receptor, potentiating kainate-induced currents up to 70% at 10−11 M.

Abstract
The ability of monomethoxy-substituted o-diphenylisoxazoles 2a-d to interact with the colchicine site of tubulin was predicted using computational modeling, docking studies, and calculation of binding affinity. The respective molecules were synthesized in high yields by three steps reaction using easily available benzaldehydes, acetophenones, and arylnitromethanes as starting material. The calculated antitubulin effect was confirmed in vivo in a sea urchin embryo model. Compounds 2a and 2c showed high antimitotic microtubule destabilizing activity compared to that of CA4. Isoxazole 2a also exhibited significant cytotoxicity against human cancer cells in NCI60 screen. For the first time, isoxazole-linked CA4 derivatives 2a and 2c with only one methoxy substituent were identified as potent antimitotic microtubule destabilizing agents. These molecules could be considered as promising structures for further optimization.

Abstract
:
Butterfly-shaped structure, as a novel scaffold with an attractive and certain shape, has been
widely used in new drug discovery. Tubulin, composing of α- and β-tubulin heterodimers, plays a key
role in mitosis and cell division which are regarded as an excellent target for cancer therapy. Currently, a
series of butterfly shape diaryl heterocyclic compounds have been reported with strong potential against
the tubulin-colchicine binding site. It is with one ring buried in the β subunit, another ring interacts with
the α subunit and the main body is located in the flat pocket. Here, we firstly introduce the concept of
butterfly structure for the tubulin inhibitors, focusing on the latest advancements in a variety of molecules
bearing butterfly structure, and then highlight the challenges and future direction of butterfly structure-
based tubulin-colchicine binding site inhibitors.

Abstract
An efficient and high-yielding strategy to prepare "unsymmetrical" 4-aryl-isoxazol-3,5-dicarboxylic acid derivatives from nitroacetic esters and aromatic aldehydes has been developed. The strategy is based on the isolation and usage of the previously missed intermediate of the Dornow reaction-5-hydroxy-6-oxo-4-aryl-6H-1,2-oxazine-3-carboxylates. In addition, the mechanism of the Dornow reaction was partially revised.

Chem Biol Interact 2019; 313:108820.

Abstract
Natural products with potent activity and less toxicity provide major sources for development of novel anti-cancer drugs. Herein, we evaluated the effects and the underlying mechanisms of a novel piperlongumine (PL) analogue L50377 on non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. The results revealed that L50377 displayed greater potentials of suppressing cell growth than PL. In addition, L50377 promoted cell apoptosis and pyroptosis via stimulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in NSCLC cells. More interestingly, ROS mediated NF-κB suppression might be implicated in the mechanisms of L50377-induced pyroptosis in NSCLC cells. Taken together, our results suggested that L50377 served as a novel chemical agent might have great potentials for NSCLC treatment.

Abstract
Tubulins and microtubules (MTs) represent targets for taxane-based chemotherapy. To date, several lines of evidence suggest that effectiveness of compounds binding tubulin often relies on different post-translational modifications on tubulins. Among them, methylation was recently associated to drug resistance mechanisms impairing taxanes binding. The sea urchin is recognized as a research model in several fields including fertilization, embryo development and toxicology. To date, some α- and β-tubulin genes have been identified in P. lividus, while no data are available in echinoderms for arginine methyl transferases (PRMT). To evaluate the exploiting of the sea urchin embryo in the field of antiproliferative drug development, we carried out a survey of the expressed α- and β-tubulin gene sets, together with a comprehensive analysis of the PRMT gene family and of the methylable arginine residues in P. lividus tubulins. Because of their specificities, the sea urchin embryo may represent an interesting tool for dissecting mechanisms of tubulin targeting drug action. Therefore, results herein reported provide evidences supporting the P. lividus embryo as animal system for testing antiproliferative drugs.

Abstract
A series of both novel and reported combretastatin analogues, including diarylpyrazoles, -isoxazoles, -1,2,3-triazoles, and -pyrroles, were synthesized via improved protocols to evaluate their antimitotic antitubulin activity using in vivo sea urchin embryo assay and a panel of human cancer cells. A systematic comparative structure-activity relationship studies of these compounds were conducted. Pyrazoles 1i and 1p, isoxazole 3a, and triazole 7b were found to be the most potent antimitotics across all tested compounds causing cleavage alteration of the sea urchin embryo at 1, 0.25, 1, and 0.5 nM, respectively. These agents exhibited comparable cytotoxicity against human cancer cells. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that compounds substituted with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl ring A and 4-methoxyphenyl ring B displayed the highest activity. 3-Hydroxy group in the ring B was essential for the antiproliferative activity in the diarylisoxazole series, whereas it was not required for potency of diarylpyrazoles. Isoxazoles 3 with 3,4,5-trimethoxy-substituted ring A and 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-substituted ring B were more active than the respective pyrazoles 1. Of the azoles substituted with the same set of other aryl pharmacophores, diarylpyrazoles 1, 4,5-diarylisoxazoles 3, and 4,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles 7 displayed similar strongest antimitotic antitubulin effect followed by 3,4-diarylisoxazoles 5, 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles 8, and pyrroles 10 that showed the lowest activity. Introduction of the amino group into the heterocyclic core decreased the antimitotic antitubulin effect of pyrazoles, triazoles, and to a lesser degree of 4,5-diarylisoxazoles, whereas potency of the respective 3,4-diarylisoxazoles was increased.
