Discovery of novel FGF trap small molecules endowed with anti-myeloma activity. Pharmacol Res 2024; 206:107291.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) act as proangiogenic and mitogenic cytokines in several cancers, including multiple myeloma (MM). Indeed, corrupted FGF autocrine and paracrine secretion induces an aberrant activation of the FGF receptor (FGFR) signaling sustaining cancer cell spreading and resistance to pharmacological treatments. Thus, FGF traps may represent a promising anti-cancer strategy to hamper the ligand-dependent activation of the FGF/FGFR system. We previously identified NSC12 as the first orally available small molecule FGF trap able to inhibit the growth and progression of several FGF-dependent tumor models. NSC12 is a pregnenolone derivative carrying a 1,1-bis-trifluoromethyl-1,3-propanediol chain in position 17 of the steroid nucleus. Investigation of structure-activity relationships (SARs) provided more potent and specific NSC12 steroid derivatives and highlighted that the C17-side chain is pivotal for the FGF trap activity. Here, a scaffold hopping approach allowed to obtain two FGF trap compounds (22 and 57) devoid of the steroid nucleus and able to efficiently bind FGF2 and to inhibit FGFR activation in MM cells. Accordingly, these compounds exert a potent anti-tumor activity on MM cell lines both in vitro and in vivo and on MM patient-derived primary cells, strongly affecting the survival of both proteasome-inhibitor sensitive and resistant MM cells. These results propose a new therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory MM patients and set the bases for the development of novel FGF traps prone to chemical diversification to be used in the clinic for the treatment of those tumors in which the FGF/FGFR system plays a pivotal role, including MM.

Abstract
Intramolecular fusion reactions of a p-terphenylene-bridged NiII porphyrin dimer gave different products, depending upon reaction conditions. Oxidation with Fe(OTf)3 provided syn- and anti-doubly heptagon-fused NiII porphyrin dimers showing enlarged π-electronic networks, probably via a radical mechanism, while treatment with methanesulfonic acid provided a spiro-pentagon-bridged NiII chlorin dimer via acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts type cyclization. Further, a doubly octagon-fused NiII porphyrin dimer was synthesized via a sequence of double meso-formylation, reduction to corresponding diol, and BF3 -catalyzed cyclization.

Abstract
The transcriptional regulators YAP (Yes-associated protein) and TAZ (transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif) are the major downstream effectors in the Hippo pathway and are involved in cancer progression through modulation of the activity of TEAD (transcriptional enhanced associate domain) transcription factors. To exploit the advantages of drug repurposing in the search of new drugs, we developed a similar approach for the identification of new hits interfering with TEAD target gene expression. In our study, a 27-member in-house library was assembled, characterized, and screened for its cancer cell growth inhibition effect. In a secondary luciferase-based assay, only seven compounds confirmed their specific involvement in TEAD activity. IA5 bearing a p-quinoid structure reduced the cytoplasmic level of phosphorylated YAP and the YAP–TEAD complex transcriptional activity and reduced cancer cell growth. IA5 is a promising hit compound for TEAD activity modulator development.

Abstract
Background: Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. No progress in the treatment of this pathology has been made since Nifurtimox was introduced more than fifty years ago, and this drug is considered very aggressive and may cause several adverse effects. This drug currently has severe limitations, including a high frequency of undesirable side effects and limited efficacy and availability, so research to discover new drugs for the treatment of Chagas disease is imperative. Many drugs available on the market are natural products as found in nature or compounds designed based on the structure and activity of these natural products. Methods: This study evaluated the in vitro antiparasitic activity of a series of previously synthesized stilbene and terphenyl compounds in T. cruzi epimastigotes and intracellular amastigotes. The action of the most selective compounds was investigated by flow cytometric analysis to evaluate the mechanism of cell death. The ability to induce apoptosis or caspase-1 inflammasomes was assayed in macrophages infected with T. cruzi after treatment, comparing it with that of Nifurtimox. Results: The stilbene ST18 was the most potent compound of the series. It was slightly less active than Nifurtimox in epimastigotes but most active in intracellular amastigotes. Compared to Nifurtimox, it was markedly less cytotoxic when tested in vitro on normal cells. ST18 was able to induce a marked increase in parasites positive for Annexin V and monodansylcadaverine. Moreover, ST18 induced the activation, in infected macrophages, of caspase-1, a conserved enzyme that plays a major role in controlling parasitemia, host survival and the onset of the adaptive immune response in Trypanosoma infection. Conclusions: The antiparasitic activity of ST18 together with its ability to activate caspase-1 in infected macrophages and its low toxicity toward normal cells makes this compound interesting for further clinical investigation.

Abstract
Sulfonyl fluorides have emerged as powerful "click" electrophiles to access sulfonylated derivatives. Yet, they are relatively inert towards C-C bond forming transformations, notably under transition-metal catalysis. Here, we describe conditions under which aryl sulfonyl fluorides act as electrophiles for the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. This desulfonative cross-coupling occurs selectively in the absence of base and, unusually, even in the presence of strong acids. Divergent one-step syntheses of two analogues of bioactive compounds showcase the expanded reactivity of sulfonyl fluorides to encompass both S-Nu and C-C bond formation. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations suggest oxidative addition occurs at the C-S bond followed by desulfonation to form a Pd-F intermediate that facilitates transmetalation.

Abstract
A planar dibenzo-peri-hexacene derivative (2) was synthesized via FeCl3 -mediated Scholl reaction from a cyclopenta-fused perylene (CP) based polyphenylene precursor (1). However, an unexpected octagon-containing, negatively curved molecule (3) was obtained in nearly quantitative yield when 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and methanesulfonic acid (MeSO3 H) were used. Similar results were observed when two smaller-sized precursors containing one (4) or two CP units (5) were tested. X-ray crystallographic analysis also revealed that there is no close π-π stacking between neighboring π-conjugated skeletons. DFT calculations suggest a radical cation mechanism in the presence of FeCl3 while an arenium ion pathway for the DDQ/MeSO3 H mediated Scholl reaction, which can well explain the selective formation of hexagons and octagons under different conditions. The obtained compounds showed tunable optical and electrochemical properties.

Abstract
Recent literature about stilbene-based analogues of resveratrol (1) has been reviewed, and a total of 94 compounds are reported (see structures 4 – 97), selected either for their promising anti-tumor properties or as comparative terms in SAR studies. As a general outline, these recent literature data confirm the previously reported observation that minimal modification in the nature and position of the substituents on the stilbene nucleus may cause large variations in their biological activity and, more specifically, in their anti-tumor properties. Among the polyhydroxylated stilbenes, it has been established that those with either a catechol or pyrogallol moiety are far better radical scavengers than either 1 or other analogues lacking an ortho-dihydroxy group, and this property was shown to be related to pro-apoptotic activity. In the large majority of cases where couples of E- and Z-isomers were evaluated for either cytotoxic or pro-apoptotic activity, the Z-isomers were significantly more active than their E analogues; nevertheless, a general rule stating that stilbenoids with Z configuration of the double bond display a considerably higher antiproliferative activity than their E-isomers cannot be considered as established. A variety of methoxystilbenes has been reported recently: in many cases these analogues showed either potent antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activity or strong inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF- kB. Globally considered, polymethoxystilbenes are a sub-group of great interest among the resveratrol analogues: these analogues appear worthy of a deeper evaluation also in connection with their potential anti-angiogenic properties. In addition, in vivo studies indicate that methoxystilbenes undergo different metabolic conversion and have a higher bioavailability than resveratrol. The potent activity of some amino- and halogenated stilbenes is undoubtedly worthy of attention, but the toxicity of these compounds to normal cells has rarely been evaluated. In conclusion, the synthesis and evaluation of stilbene-based resveratrol analogues proved to be a highly active field of research and has recently afforded compounds with either cytotoxic or pro-apoptotic activity in the nanomolar range. Nevertheless, the exact structural determinants to optimize the anti-tumor properties of these compounds and details of their mechanism of action remain to be clarified.

Most of the antileishmanial modern therapies are not satisfactory due to high toxicity or emergence of resistance and high cost of treatment. Previously, we observed that two compounds of a small library of trans-stilbene and terphenyl derivatives, ST18 and TR4, presented the best activity and safety profiles against Leishmania infantum promastigotes and amastigotes. In the present study we evaluated the effects of ST18 and the TR4 in 6 different species of Leishmania and the modifications induced by these two compounds in the production of 8 different cytokines from infected macrophages. We observed that TR4 was potently active in all Leishmania species tested in the study showing a leishmanicidal activity higher than that of ST18 and meglumine antimoniate in the most of the species. Moreover, TR4 was able to decrease the levels of IL-10, a cytokine able to render the host macrophage inactive allowing the persistence of parasites inside its phagolysosome, and increase the levels of IL-1β, a cytokine important for host resistance to Leishmania infection by inducible iNOS-mediated production of NO, and IL-18, a cytokine implicated in the development of Th1-type immune response.

Abstract
A new series of functionalized (Z)-3-(2-oxo-2-substituted ethylidene)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones 23-26, incorporating pharmaceutically privileged substructures such as cyclopropyl, naphthyl, biphenyl and cyclohexylphenyl were synthesized in excellent yields. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against gram-(+)ve and gram-(-)ve bacterial species i.e. S. griseus, S. aureus, B. subtillis and E. coli as well as in vitro antifungal activity against fungal species i.e. F. oxysporium, A. niger, P. funiculosum and T. reesei, respectively. In this study, compounds containing cyclopropyl and cyclohexylphenyl substructures were identified as promising antimicrobial agents than standard drugs, ampicillin and chloramphenicol as well as ketoconazole. SAR study illustrates that electron-withdrawing groups increases the antibacterial as well as antifungal activity of 2-oxo-benzo[1,4]oxazines and vice versa. Compounds 23e and 26e, the most active compounds of the series, displayed promising antibacterial activity than Ampicillin and Chloramphenicol. Moreover, compound 26d showed promising antifungal potency as compared to Ketoconazole. Cytotoxic studies of the active compounds i.e. 23c-e, 24e, 25d and 26d-e found to be non-toxic in nature in 3T3 fibroblast cell lines using MTT assay.

Abstract
Exploration of a new differentiation therapy that extends the range of differentiation for treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is attractive to researchers and clinicians. Here we report that diptoindonesin G (Dip G), a natural resveratrol aneuploid, exerts antiproliferative activity by inducing G2/M phase arrest and cell differentiation in AML cell lines and primary AML cells. Gene-profiling experiments showed that treating human leukemia HL-60 cells with Dip G was associated with a remarkable upregulation of STAT1 target gene expression, including IFIT3 and CXCL10. Mechanistically, Dip G activated ERK, which caused phosphorylation of STAT1 at Ser727 and selectively enhanced the interaction of p-STAT1 (Ser727) and p-ERK, further promoting their nuclear translocation. The nuclear translocation of p-STAT1 and p-ERK enhanced the transactivation of STAT1-targeted genes in AML cells. Furthermore, in vivo treatment of HL-60 xenografts demonstrated that Dip G significantly inhibited tumor growth and reduced tumor weight by inducing cell differentiation. Taken together, these results shed light on an essential role for ERK-mediated nuclear translocation of p-STAT1 (Ser727) and its full transcriptional activity in Dip G-induced differentiation of AML cells. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that Dip G could be used as a differentiation-inducing agent for AML therapy, particularly for non-acute promyelocytic leukemia therapy.

Abstract
Boron-based dyes are attractive synthetic targets due to their large variability of absorption and emission wavelengths. Through Pictet-Spengler cyclizations, followed by oxidation, π-extended boroquinols have been synthesized. During optimization of the reaction conditions, an unusual dearylation has been found and mechanistically investigated. For two of the synthesized boroquinols, mechanochromic effects with bathochromic shifts up to 50 nm were found upon grinding.

Abstract
Two new stilbenes, 2-(3',5'-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzofuran (1) and 3'-hydroxy-2,5'-dimethoxystilbene (2), together with seven known stilbenes (3, 5-10) and one flavanone (4), were isolated from the roots of Paphiopedilum godefroyae. Their chemical structures were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic data. These isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human small cell lung cancer (NCI-H187) cell lines and an arylbenzofuran derivative, 5,6-dimethoxy-2-(3-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)benzofuran (6), was shown to be strongly cytotoxic with an IC50 value of 5.10 μM.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis are globally widespread parasitic diseases which often leads to death if left untreated. Currently available drugs present different drawbacks, so there is an urgent need to develop new, safe and cost-effective drugs against leishmaniasis. In this study we tested a small library of trans-stilbene and terphenyl derivatives against promastigote, amastigotes and intramacrophage amastigote forms of Leishmania infantum. Two compounds of the series, the trans-stilbene 3 and the terphenyl 11, presented the best activity and safety profiles. Terphenyl 11 showed a leshmanicidal activity higher than pentostam and the ability to induce apoptosis selectively in Leishmania infantum while saving macrophages and primary epithelial cells. Our data indicate that terphenyl compounds, as well as stilbenes, are endowed with leishmanicidal activity, showing potential for further studies in the context of leishmanial therapy.

Abstract
Given our interest in finding potential antitumor agents and in view of the multifactorial mechanistic nature of cancer, in the present work, taking advantage of the multifunctional ligands approach, new chimeric molecules were designed and synthesized by combining in single chemical entities structural features of SAHA, targeting histone deacetylases (HDACs), with substituted stilbene or terphenyl derivatives previously obtained by us and endowed with antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activity. The new chimeric derivatives were characterized with respect to their cytotoxic activity and their effects on cell cycle progression on different tumor cell lines, as well as their HDACs inhibition. Among the other, trans -6 showed the most interesting biological profile, as it exhibited a strong pro-apoptotic activity in tumor cell lines in comparison with both of its parent compounds and a marked HDAC inhibition.

Abstract
A series of new terphenyl benzimidazoles (3a-z and 3aa-ad) were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity. All the 30 compounds have shown moderate to good anticancer potency, however some of the compounds (3j, 3m-t and 3aa-ad) exhibited prominent anticancer potency with GI(50) values ranging from <0.1 to 9.72 μM. These compounds exhibit G2/M phase arrest and the analysis of tubulin by Western blot experiments in case of 3t and 3ad shows the disturbances that are caused in the ratio of soluble versus polymerized tubulin in cells. Compounds 3t and 3ad are the most promising candidates amongst the series and has the potential to be taken up for further detailed studies either alone or in combination with the existing therapies.

Abstract
Resveratrol is the subject of intense research as a natural antioxidant and cancer chemopreventive agent. There has been a great deal of interest and excitement in understanding its action mechanism and developing analogs with antioxidant and cancer chemoprevention activities superior to that of the parent compound in the past decade. This work delineates that elongation of the conjugated links is an important strategy to improve the antioxidant activity of resveratrol analogs, including hydrogen atom- or electron-donating ability in homogeneous solutions and antihemolysis activity in heterogeneous media. More importantly, C3, a triene bearing 4,4'-dihydroxy groups, surfaced as an important lead compound displaying remarkably increased antioxidant, cytotoxic, and apoptosis-inducing activities compared with resveratrol.

Abstract
Palladium supported on nickel ferrite (Pd/NiF2O4) was found to be a highly active catalyst for the Suzuki coupling reaction between various aryl halides and arylboronic acids. The reaction gave excellent yields (70–98%) under ligand free conditions in a 1:1 DMF/H2O solvent mixture, in short reaction times (10–60 min). The catalyst could be recovered easily by applying an external magnetic field. The polyaryls were similarly synthesized.
