Abstract
Functional 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives are rapidly developing in the field of anticancer research. Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of naphthalimide derivatives with different substituents. Interestingly, 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives 1 and 7 inhibited a human demethylase FTO (the fat mass and obesity-associated protein). Computer simulation studies further indicated that 1 and 7 entered the FTO's structural domain II binding pocket through hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Anticancer mechanism studies showed that 1 and 7 induced DNA damage and autophagic cell death in A549 cells. The high antiproliferative activity of 1 and 7 was further confirmed by 3D multicellular A549 tumor spheroid assays. This study focuses on the cytotoxicity and mode of action of naphthalimide derivatives, which not only have potential anticancer activity but also are potent demethylase inhibitors.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, the strategy of conjugating polyamine tails with bioactive molecules such as anticancer and antimicrobial agents, as well as antioxidant and neuroprotective scaffolds, has been widely exploited to enhance their pharmacological profile. Polyamine transport is elevated in many pathological conditions, suggesting that the polyamine portion could improve cellular and subcellular uptake of the conjugate via the polyamine transporter system. In this review, we have presented a glimpse on the polyamine conjugate scenario, classified by therapeutic area, of the last decade with the aim of highlighting achievements and fostering future developments.

Drug library screening identifies histone deacetylase inhibition as a novel therapeutic strategy for choriocarcinoma. Cancer Med 2023; 12:4543-4556. [PMID: 36106577 PMCID: PMC9972027 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.5243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Choriocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive gynecological malignancy. The standard treatment is systemic chemotherapy as choriocarcinoma exhibits high chemosensitivity. However, refractory choriocarcinoma exhibits chemoresistance; thus, the prognosis remains very poor. This study aimed to identify novel therapeutic agents for choriocarcinoma by utilizing a drug repositioning strategy. METHODS Three choriocarcinoma cell lines (JAR, JEG-3, and BeWo) and a human extravillous trophoblast cell line (HTR-8/SVneo) were used for the analyses. The growth inhibitory effects of 1,271 FDA-approved compounds were evaluated in vitro screening assays and selected drugs were tested in tumor-bearing mice. Functional analyses of drug effects were performed based on RNA sequencing. RESULTS Muti-step screening identified vorinostat, camptothecin (S, +), topotecan, proscillaridin A, and digoxin as exhibiting an anti-cancer effect in choriocarcinoma cells. Vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, was selected as a promising candidate for validation and the IC50 values for choriocarcinoma cells were approximately 1 μM. RNA sequencing and subsequent pathway analysis revealed that the ferroptosis pathway was likely implicated, and key ferroptosis-related genes (i.e., GPX4, NRF2, and SLC3A2) were downregulated following vorinostat treatment. Furthermore, vorinostat repressed tumor growth and downregulated the expression of GPX4 and NRF2 in JAR cell-bearing mice model. CONCLUSION Vorinostat, a clinically approved drug for the treatment of advanced primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, showed a remarkable anticancer effect both in vitro and in vivo by regulating the expression of ferroptosis-related genes. Therefore, vorinostat may be an effective therapeutic candidate for patients with choriocarcinoma.

Abstract
In this review, we describe the developments in the field of naphthalene diimides (NDIs) from 2016 to the presentday. NDIs are shown to be an increasingly interesting class of molecules due to their electronic properties, large electron deficient aromatic cores and tendency to self-assemble into functional structures. Almost all NDIs possess high electron affinity, good charge carrier mobility, and excellent thermal and oxidative stability, making them promising candidates for applications in organic electronics, photovoltaic devices, and flexible displays. NDIs have also been extensively studied due to their potential real-world uses across a wide variety of applications including supramolecular chemistry, sensing, host-guest complexes for molecular switching devices, such as catenanes and rotaxanes, ion-channels, catalysis, and medicine and as non-fullerene accepters in solar cells. In recent years, NDI research with respect to supramolecular assemblies and mechanoluminescent properties has also gained considerable traction. Thus, this review will assist a wide range of readers and researchers including chemists, physicists, biologists, medicinal chemists and materials scientists in understanding the scope for development and applicability of NDI dyes in their respective fields through a discussion of the main properties of NDI derivatives and of the status of emerging applications.

Abstract
Conventional 2D cell culture, a traditional tool in pre-clinical studies, can hardly be regarded as a representation of a natural cell microenvironment. In this respect, it might result in altered cellular behaviors. To overcome such a limitation, different approaches have been tested to conduct more representative in vitro studies. In particular, the use of 3D cell culture introduces variables, such as cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions; cell features such as survival, proliferation and migration are consequently influenced. For an example, an enhanced drug resistance and increased invasiveness are shown by cancer cells when cultured in 3D versus 2D conventional culture models. In this setting however, non-uniform cell distribution and biological behaviors appear throughout the scaffold, due to reduced diffusion of oxygen and nutrients. Perfusion in bioreactor systems can be used to improve medium transport. In this line of reasoning, this study proposes a breast cancer cell culture model sustained by an integrated approach that couples a 3D environment and a fluid perfusion. This model improves viability and uniformness of cell distribution, while inducing morphological, functional and molecular cancer cell remodeling.

Abstract
Recently, despite the great success achieved by the so-called "magic bullets" in the treatment of different diseases through a marked and specific interaction with the target of interest, the pharmacological research is moving toward the development of "molecular network active compounds," embracing the related polypharmacology approach. This strategy was born to overcome the main limitations of the single target therapy leading to a superior therapeutic effect, a decrease of adverse reactions, and a reduction of potential mechanism(s) of drug resistance caused by robustness and redundancy of biological pathways. It has become clear that multifactorial diseases such as cancer, neurological, and inflammatory disorders, may require more complex therapeutic approaches hitting a certain biological system as a whole. Concerning epigenetics, the goal of the multi-epi-target approach consists in the development of small molecules able to simultaneously and (often) reversibly bind different specific epi-targets. To date, two dual histone deacetylase/kinase inhibitors (CUDC-101 and CUDC-907) are in an advanced stage of clinical trials. In the last years, the growing interest in polypharmacology encouraged the publication of high-quality reviews on combination therapy and hybrid molecules. Hence, to update the state-of-the-art of these therapeutic approaches avoiding redundancy, herein we focused only on multiple medication therapies and multitargeting compounds exploiting epigenetic plus nonepigenetic drugs reported in the literature in 2018. In addition, all the multi-epi-target inhibitors known in literature so far, hitting two or more epigenetic targets, have been included.

Abstract
Cyclic naphthalene diimides (cNDIs), with a ferrocene moiety (cFNDs) and different linker lengths between the ferrocene and cNDI moieties, were designed and synthesized as redox-active, tetraplex-DNA ligands. Intramolecular stacking was observed between ferrocene and the NDI planes, which could affect the binding properties for G-quadruplexes. Interestingly, the circular dichroism spectrum of one of these compounds clearly shows new Cotton effects around 320-380 and 240 nm, which can be considered a direct evidence of intramolecular stacking of ferrocene and the NDI. Regarding recognition of hybrid G-quadruplexes, the less rigid structures (longer linkers) show higher binding affinity (106 m-1 order of magnitude). All new compounds show higher selectivity for G4 during electrochemical detection than noncyclic FND derivatives, which further identifies the redox-active potentiality of the cFNDs. Two of the three compounds tested even show preferential inhibition of cell growth in cancer cells over normal cells in a low concentration range, highlighting the potential for bioapplications of these cFNDs.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that HDAC inhibitors act synergistically with camptothecin derivatives in combination therapies. To exploit this synergy, new hybrid molecules targeting simultaneously topoisomerase I and HDAC were designed. In particular, a selected multivalent agent containing a camptothecin and a SAHA-like template showed a broad spectrum of antiproliferative activity, with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. Preliminary in vivo results indicated a strong antitumor activity on human mesothelioma primary cell line MM473 orthotopically xenografted in CD-1 nude mice and very high tolerability.
