Design, synthesis, and antitumor evaluation of morpholine substituted bisnaphthalimides as DNA targeting agents. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2023; 85:129218. [PMID: 36894107 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2023.129218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
A series of mono- and bisnaphthalimides derivatives containing 3-nitro and 4-morpholine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activities against four cancer cell lines. Some compounds exhibited relatively good antiproliferative activity on the cell lines tested, in comparison with mitonafide and amonafide. It is noteworthy that bisnaphthalimide A6 was identified as the most potent compound in anti-proliferation against MGC-803 cells, with an IC50 lowered to 0.09 μM, a far greater potency than that of mono-naphthalimide A7, mitonafide, and amonafide. A gel electrophoresis assay revealed that DNA and Topo I were the potential targets of compounds A6 and A7. The treatment of CNE-2 cells with compounds A6 and A7 resulted in an S phase cell cycle arrest, accompanied by the upregulation of the expression levels of the antioncogene p27 and the down-regulation of the expression levels of CDK2 and cyclin E. In addition, compounds A6 and A7-induced apoptosis was further confirmed by flow cytometry, ROS generation assay, and Hoechst 33,258 staining. In particular, in vivo antitumor assay results revealed that bisnaphthalimide A6 exhibited potent anticancer efficiency in an MGC-803 xenograft tumor model, in comparison with mitonafide, and had lower toxicity than mono-naphthalimide A7. In brief, the results suggested that bisnaphthalimide derivatives containing 3-nitro and 4-morpholine moieties might serve as DNA binding agents for the development of new antitumor agents.

Abstract
This review intends to summarize the structures of an extensive number of symmetrical-dimeric drugs, having two monomers linked via a bridging entity while emphasizing the large versatility of biologically active substances reported to possess dimeric structures. The largest number of classes of these compounds consist of anticancer agents, antibiotics/antimicrobials, and anti-AIDS drugs. Other symmetrical-dimeric drugs include antidiabetics, antidepressants, analgesics, anti-inflammatories, drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, anticholesterolemics, estrogenics, antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors, anti-Parkisonians, laxatives, antiallergy compounds, cannabinoids, etc. Most of the articles reviewed do not compare the activity/potency of the dimers to that of their corresponding monomers. Only in limited cases, various suggestions have been made to justify unexpected higher activity of the dimers vs. the corresponding monomers. These suggestions include statistical effects, the presence of dimeric receptors, binding of a dimer to two receptors simultaneously, and others. It is virtually impossible to predict which dimers will be preferable to their respective monomers, or which linking bridges will lead to the most active compounds. It is expected that the extensive number of articles summarized, and the large variety of substances mentioned, which display various biological activities, should be of interest to many academic and industrial medicinal chemists.

[PMID: 34139975 DOI: 10.2174/2589977513666210617160302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is one of the malignant tumours which mainly affect the female population. Total 20% of the cases of breast cancer are due to overexpression of Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), which is the dominant tyrosine kinase receptor. In general, 9-anilinoacridine derivatives play an important role as antitumor agents due to their DNA-intercalating properties. OBJECTIVE Some novel 9-anilinoacridines substituted with pyrazole moiety(1a-z) were designed, and their HER2enzyme (PDB id-3PP0) inhibition activity was evaluated by molecular docking studies using the Glide module of Schrodinger suite 2019-4. METHODS Glide module of the Schrodinger suite was used to perform docking studies, qikprop module was used for in-silico ADMET screening, and the Prime-MM-GBSA module was used for free binding energy calculations. Using GLIDE scoring functions, we can determine the binding affinity of ligands (1a-z) towards HER2. RESULTS The inhibitory activity of ligands against HER2 was mainly due to the strong hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Almost all the compounds 1a-z have a good binding affinity with Glide scores in the range of -4.9 to -9.75 compared to the standard drugs CK0403(-4.105) and Tamoxifen (-3.78). From the results of in-silico ADMET properties, most of the compounds fall within the recommended values. MM-GBSA binding calculations of the most potent inhibitors are more favourable. CONCLUSION The results of in-silico studies provide strong evidence for the consideration of valuable ligands in pyrazole substituted 9-anilinoacridines as potential HER2 inhibitors, and the compounds, 1v,s,r,d, a,o with significant Glide scores may produce significant anti-breast cancer activity for further development.

Abstract
Since the discovery of DNA intercalating agents (by Lerman, 1961), a growing number of organic, inorganic, and metallic compounds have been developed to treat life-threatening microbial infections and cancers. Fused-heterocycles are amongst the most important group of compounds that have the ability to interact with DNA. DNA intercalators possess a planar aromatic ring structure that inserts itself between the base pairs of nucleic acids. Once inserted, the aromatic structure makes van der Waals interactions and hydrogen-bonding interactions with the base pairs. The DNA intercalator may also contain an ionizable group that can form ionic interactions with the negatively charged phosphate backbone. After the intercalation, other cellular processes could take place, leading ultimately to cell death. The heterocyclic nucleus present in the DNA intercalators can be considered as a pharmacophore that plays an instrumental role in dictating the affinity and selectivity exhibited by these compounds. In this work, we have carried out a revision of small organic molecules that bind to the DNA molecule via intercalation and cleaving and exert their antitumor activity. A general overview of the most recent results in this area, paying particular attention to compounds that are currently under clinical trials, is provided. Advancement in spectroscopic techniques studying DNA interaction can be examined in-depth, yielding important information on structure-activity relationships. In this comprehensive review, we have focused on the introduction to fused heterocyclic agents with DNA interacting features, from medicinal point of view. The structure-activity relationships points, cytotoxicity data, and binding data and future perspectives of medicinal compounds have been discussed in detail.

Abstract
Most reported carbazolyl G-quadruplex DNA (G4-DNA) ligands possess a rigid structure rather than a flexible one. The conformationally flexible ligands are paid much less attention. In this study, we report a novel class of non-rigid methylene-bridged biscarbazolyl ligand and their G4-DNA binding properties. Moreover, the antitumor activities of all these oligomers have been evaluated. The results show that this family of oligomers could be facilely synthesized via solely one step. Among them, compound 2, the bis-carbazole derivative, displays the best antitumor activity and IC50 values against HT-29, HepG2, A375 and MCF-7 cells are 0.69, 5.09, 3.15 and 3.8 μ mol/L, respectively. Although conformationally flexible, 2 is still capable of binding to as well as stabilizing G4-DNA via π-π stacking interaction. Moreover, 2 selectively binds to G4-DNA over duplex DNA. The current study enriches the category of carbazolyl G4-DNA ligands and paves the way for the search of more efficient G4-DNA ligands and antitumor leads.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human Epidermal development factor Receptor-2 (HER2) is a membrane tyrosine kinase which is overexpressed and gene amplified in human breast cancers. HER2 amplification and overexpression have been linked to important tumor cell proliferation and survival pathways for 20% of instances of breast cancer. 9-aminoacridines are significant DNA-intercalating agents because of their antiproliferative properties. OBJECTIVE Some novel isoxazole substituted 9-anilinoacridines(1a-z) were designed by in-silico technique for their HER2 inhibitory activity. Docking investigations of compounds 1a-z are performed against HER2 (PDB id-3PP0) by using Schrodinger suit 2016-2. METHODS Molecular docking study for the designed molecules 1a-z are performed by Glide module, in-silico ADMET screening by QikProp module and binding free energy by Prime-MMGBSA module of Schrodinger suit. The binding affinity of designed molecules 1a-z towards HER2 was chosen based on GLIDE score. RESULTS Many compounds showed good hydrophobic communications and hydrogen bonding associations to hinder HER2. The compounds 1a-z, aside from 1z have significant Glide scores in the scope of - 4.91 to - 10.59 when compared with the standard Ethacridine (- 4.23) and Tamoxifen (- 3.78). The in-silico ADMET properties are inside the suggested about drug likeness. MM-GBSA binding of the most intense inhibitor is positive. CONCLUSION The outcomes reveal that this study provides evidence for the consideration of isoxazole substituted 9-aminoacridine derivatives as potential HER2 inhibitors. The compounds, 1s,x,v,a,j,r with significant Glide scores may produce significant anti breast cancer activity and further in vitro and in vivo investigations may prove their therapeutic potential.

Abstract
A series of bis-naphthalimide derivatives with different diamine linkers were designed and synthesized. All of the synthesized bis-naphthalimide derivatives were characterized by NMR and HRMS spectra. The binding ability between the compounds and CT DNA was evaluated by using UV-Vis titration experiments. The bis-naphthalimide compound with an ethylenediamine linker showed the largest binding constant with CT DNA. Hence, it was used as the model compound to study the DNA binding selectivity by UV-Vis titration aiming at different DNA duplexes. As a result, this compound showed binding preference to AT-rich duplexes. The DNA binding modes of the compounds were also measured by viscosity titration. The cytotoxicity of the compounds was evaluated by MTT assay. Compounds with 1,6-diaminohexane or 1,4-phenylenedimethanamine linkers showed higher cytotoxicity compared with other bis-naphthalimide derivatives.

Abstract
Acridines possess two characteristics that have led many researchers to consider the agents interesting targets for future development as potential farmacophores: the planar acridine skeleton, which is able to intercalate into DNA, and the intense fluorescence of the agents. This review offers a study of the multifunctional character of acridines and the synthesis of novel acridine derivatives, with particular focus being placed on isothiocyanates and their congeners, e.g. thioureas, isothioureas, quaternary ammonium salts and platinum/gold conjugates. The review provides an overview of the structure, spectral properties, DNA binding and biological activity of acridinylthiourea congeners. These acridinylthiourea derivatives display significant cytotoxic activities against different types of cancer cell lines at micromolar concentrations. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
The interactions between the three kinds of naphthalimide-based anti-tumor drugs (NADA, NADB, NADC) and human serum albumin (HSA) under simulated physiological conditions were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy and molecular modeling. The results of the fluorescence quenching spectroscopy showed that the quenching mechanisms for different drugs were static and their affinity was in a descending order of NADA > NADB > NADC. The relative thermodynamic parameters indicated that hydrophobic force was the predominant intermolecular force in the binding of NAD to HSA, while van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds could not be ignored. The results of site marker competitive experiment confirmed that the binding site of HSA primarily took place in site I. Furthermore, the molecular modeling study was consistent with these results. The study of circular dichroism spectra demonstrated that the presence of NADs decreased the α-helical content of HSA and induced the change of the secondary structure of HSA.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for 80-85% of all lung cancer cases and is the leading cause of cancer death indicating inefficient current treatment. Acridine derivatives interact with DNA and inhibit topoisomerase leading to cell growth arrest or cell death. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of new synthesized sixteen 2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]quinoline derivatives (cyclopentaquinoline), a member of acridine-based compounds, on the survival and growth of human lung adenocarcinoma, A549 cells. Anticancer activity of eight new cyclopentaquinoline derivatives with hydrazinonicotinic acid (compounds 1-8) and eight with fluorobenzoic acid (compounds 9-16) were screened using WST-1 assay. Interestingly, cyclopentaquinoline derivatives with fluorobenzoic moiety were found to have a higher anticancer activity than derivatives with hydrazinonicotinic acid. Four out of eight tested compounds with fluorobenzoic acid inhibited 50% cancer cell growth at concentration below 20μM. Moreover, the efficacy of cyclopentaquinoline derivatives containing fluorobenzoic acid correlated with increasing number of carbon atoms in the aliphatic chain. The most effective compounds (6, 15, 16) were selected to determine molecular mechanisms of their anticancer action. The results indicated that inhibition of A549 cell growth by compounds 15 and 16 was associated with a cell cycle arrest at G0/1 phase and with induction of caspase 3-dependent apoptosis. Compound 6 also caused A549 cells death due to apoptosis, however, it had no significant effect on a cell cycle progression. These findings suggest that cyclopentaquinoline derivatives containing fluorobenzoic acid with 8 and 9 carbon atoms in aliphatic chain may be promising candidate for treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
The natural compounds triostin and thiocoraline are potent antitumor agents that act as DNA bisintercalators. From a pharmaceutical point of view, these compounds are highly attractive although they present a low pharmacokinetic profile, in part due to their low solubility. Synthetically, they represent a tour de force because no robust strategies have been developed to access a broad range of these bicyclic (depsi)peptides in a straightforward manner. Here we describe solid-phase strategies to synthesize new bisintercalators, such as thiocoraline-triostin hybrids, as well as analogues bearing soluble tags. Orthogonal protection schemes (up to five from: Fmoc, Boc Alloc, pNZ, o-NBS, and Troc), together with the right concourse of the coupling reagents (HOSu, HOBt, HOAt, Oxyma, EDC, DIPCDI, PyAOP, PyBOP, HATU, COMU), were crucial to establish the synthetic plan. In vitro studies and structure-activity relationships have been shown trends in the structure-activity relationship that will facilitate the design of new bisintercalators.

Abstract
In the present study, we have tested the cytotoxic and DNA damage activity of two novel bis-1,2,4 triazole derivatives, namely 1,4-bis[5-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-methyl)-thio-4-(p-tolyl)-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]-butane (MNP-14) and 1,4-bis[5-(carbethoxy-methyl)-thio-4-(p-ethoxy phenyl) -1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]-butane (MNP-16). The effect of these molecules on cellular apoptosis was also determined. The in-vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay as well as Trypan blue dye exclusion methods against human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (MOLT4) and lung cancer cells (A549). Our results showed that MNP-16 induced significant cytotoxicity (IC(50) of 3-5 μM) compared with MNP-14. The cytotoxicity induced by MNP-16 was time and concentration dependent. The cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry (fluorescence-activated cell sorting [FACS]) revealed that though there was a significant increase in the apoptotic population (sub-G(1) phase) with an increased concentration of MNP-14 and 16, there was no cell cycle arrest. Further, the comet assay results indicated considerable DNA strand breaks upon exposure to these compounds, thereby suggesting the possible mechanism of cytotoxicity induced by MNP-16. Hence, we have identified a novel molecule (MNP-16) which could be of great clinical relevance in cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Acridine derivatives constitute a class of compounds that are being intensively studied as potential anticancer drugs. Acridines are well-known for their high cytotoxic activity; however, their clinical application is limited or even excluded because of side effects. Numerous synthetic methods are focused on the preparation of target acridine skeletons or modifications of naturally occurring compounds, such as acridone alkaloids, that exhibit promising anticancer activities. They have been examined in vitro and in vivo to test their importance for cancer treatment and to establish the mechanism of action at both the molecular and cellular level, which is necessary for the optimization of their properties so that they are suitable in chemotherapy. In this article, we review natural and synthetic acridine/acridone analogs, their application as anticancer drugs and methods for their preparation.

Abstract
Amonafide, a naphthalimide derivative, although selected for exploratory clinical trials for its potent anticancer activity, has long been challenged by its unpredictable side effects. In the present study, a novel amonafide analogue, M(2)-A 2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-6-(thiophene-2-ylmethylamino)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione was ascribed to its potent effects on topoisomerase IIalpha. Moreover, our investigation indicates that M(2)-A induces G(2)/M phase growth arrest through inhibiting PI3K/Akt pathway. M(2)-A inhibits proliferation of HeLa, HL60, HCT-8, A375, MCF-7 and MRC-5 cells, especially inhibits proliferation of HL60 with an IC(50) value of 18.86 microM. M(2)-A can not only induce DNA fragmentation, but also enhance Annexin V-FITC binding of the cells. On the one hand the expression levels of protein Cyclin B1, Cdk1 changed in response to M(2)-A treatment in HL60 cells. On the other hand we observed the inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear translocation, up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of Bcl-2, the caspase -3, -9 activity increase in HL60 cells after treated with M(2)-A, which indicated that the mitochondrial pathway was involved in the apoptosis signal pathway. Our results showed that the phosphorylation of p85/PI3K and Akt decreased following M(2)-A treatment. In summary, M(2)-A displayed a significant anti-tumor effect through cell cycle arrest and apoptotic induction in HL60 cells, which suggested that M(2)-A might have therapeutic potential against leukaemia.

Abstract
A novel series of aminothiazonaphthalimides, A(1-2) and B(1-2), has been regioselectively synthesized. The linear compounds B(1-2) were evaluated to be far more active than their angular isomers A(1-2) in antitumor evaluation. The linear compounds C-F, derived from compound B(1), all showed highly efficient antitumor activities against A549 and P388 cell lines. Also, cytotoxicities of these four analogues against two tumor cells were highly dependent on the length of the side chains. The compound A(1) or B(1), with two methylene units in the side chain, was more cytotoxic than its corresponding homologue A(2) or B(2), with one more methylene unit.
