Eur J Med Chem 2024; 272:116497. [PMID: 38759453 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116497] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
A series of combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) derivatives were designed and synthesized, which contain stilbene core structure with different linker, predominantly piperazine derivatives. These compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against four cancer cell lines, HCT116, A549, AGS, and SK-MES-1. Among them, compound 13 displayed the best effectiveness with IC50 values of 0.227 μM and 0.253 μM against HCT116 and A549 cells, respectively, showing low toxicity to normal cells. Mechanistic studies showed that 13 inhibited HCT116 proliferation via arresting cell cycle at the G2/M phase through disrupting the microtubule network and inducing autophagy in HCT116 cells by regulating the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins. In addition, 13 displayed antiproliferative activities against A549 cells through blocking the cell cycle and inducing A549 cells apoptosis. Because of the poor water solubility of 13, four carbohydrate conjugates were synthesized which exhibited better water solubility. Further investigations revealed that 13 showed positive effects in vivo anticancer study with HCT116 xenograft models. These data suggest that 13 could be served as a promising lead compound for further development of anti-colon carcinoma agent.

Abstract
Six new pyrimidin-2-yl-substituted triaryltriazoles, namely, 4-(4-R-phenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazoles [L1: R = methoxy (OCH3); L2: R = methyl (CH3); L3: R = nil (H); L4: R = bromo (Br); L5: R = chloro (Cl); L6: R = fluoro (F)] have been successfully synthesized with yields in the range 68.3-81.7%. Compounds L1-6 have been characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and ESI-MS spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. In addition, the structures of L2-6 and the ethanol monosolvate of L2 (L2·C2H5OH) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A combination of intermolecular O-H...N, C-H...O, C-H...N and C-H...π hydrogen bonds connects the components of L2·C2H5OH into a three-dimensional (3D) framework. A combination of three intermolecular C-H...N hydrogen bonds links the molecules of L2 or L3 into two different 3D networks. Both L4 and L5 show a similar 3D net structure through two intermolecular C-H...N hydrogen bonds and one kind of C-H...π interaction. However, L6 displays a more complicated 3D net structure via three intermolecular C-H...N hydrogen bonds and one kind of C-H...π interaction. Notably, an interaction between the π-electrons and the lone-pair p-electrons of a halogen atom (Br, Cl and F) is observed in L4-6, which will further stabilize the 3D networks. The intermolecular interactions in L2·C2H5OH and L2-6 were further investigated by 3D Hirshfeld surface analyses and 2D fingerprint plots to show that the prominent interactions are H...H, N...H/H...N and C...H/H...C contacts.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal malignancy with a rapidly increasing morbidity and mortality rate gradually. RCC has a high mortality rate and an extremely poor prognosis. Despite numerous treatment strategies, RCC is resistant to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In addition, the limited clinical efficacy and inevitable resistance of multiple agents suggest an unmet clinical need. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel anti-RCC candidates. Nowadays many promising results have been achieved with the development of novel small molecule inhibitors against RCC. This paper reviews the recent research progress of novel small molecule inhibitors targeting RCC. It is focusing on the structural optimization process and conformational relationships of small molecule inhibitors, as well as the potential mechanisms and anticancer activities for the treatment of RCC. To provide a theoretical basis for promoting the clinical translation of novel small molecule inhibitors, we discussed their application prospects and future development directions. It could be capable of improving the clinical efficacy of RCC and improving the therapy resistance for RCC.

Abstract
Structurally diverse indole-3-pyrazole-5-carboxamide analogues (10-29) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against three cancer cell lines (Huh7, MCF-7, and HCT116) using the sulforhodamine B assay. Some of the derivatives showed anticancer activities equal to or better than sorafenib against cancer cell lines. Compounds 18 showed potent activity against the hepatocellular cancer (HCC) cell lines, with IC50 values in the range 0.6-2.9 μM. Compound 18 also exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against tubulin polymerization (IC50 = 19 μM). Flow cytometric analysis of cultured cells treated with 18 also demonstrated that the compound caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in both Huh7 and Mahlavu cells and induced apoptotic cell death in HCC cells. Docking simulations were performed to determine possible modes of interaction between 18 and the colchicine site of tubulin and quantum mechanical calculations were performed to observe the electronic nature of 18 and to support docking results.

Abstract
Dibenzo[b, f]oxepine derivatives are an important scaffold in natural, medicinal chemistry, and these derivatives occur in several medicinally relevant plants. Two dibenzo[b, f]oxepines were selected and connected with appropriate fluorine azobenzenes. In the next step, the geometry of E/Z isomers was analyzed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Then the energies of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals were calculated for the E/Z isomers to determine the HOMO-LUMO gap. Next, modeling of the interaction between the obtained isomers of the compounds and the colchicine α and β-tubulin binding site was performed. The investigated isomers interact with the colchicine binding site in tubulin with a part of the dibenzo[b, f]oxepine or in a part of the azo switch, or both at the same time. Based on the UV-VIS spectra, it was found that in the case of compounds with an azo bond in the meta position, the absorption bands n→π* for both geometric isomers and their separation from π→π* are visible. These derivatives therefore have the potential to be used in photopharmacology.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is of great significance in mediating cell signaling transduction and tumor behaviors. Currently, third-generation inhibitors of EGFR, especially osimertinib, are at the clinical frontier for the treatment of EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Regrettably, the rapidly developing drug resistance caused by EGFR mutations and the compensatory mechanism have largely limited their clinical efficacy. Given the synergistic effect between EGFR and other compensatory targets during tumorigenesis and tumor development, EGFR dual-target inhibitors are promising for their reduced risk of drug resistance, higher efficacy, lower dosage, and fewer adverse events than those of single-target inhibitors. Hence, we present the synergistic mechanism underlying the role of EGFR dual-target inhibitors against drug resistance, their structure-activity relationships, and their therapeutic potential. Most importantly, we emphasize the optimal target combinations and design strategies for EGFR dual-target inhibitors and provide some perspectives on new challenges and future directions in this field.

Abstract
Targeting VEGFR-2 signaling pathway is well-established as an important approach for the treatment of solid tumors, particularly renal cancer. Herein, novel indolyl-1,2,4-triazole hybrids were designed and synthesized as VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitors with potential anti-renal cancer activity. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed based on their spectral and elemental analyses. The results of in vitro kinase assay indicated that all target compounds revealed submicromolar inhibition of VEGFR-2 kinase enzyme. Analogs 5c, 5d and 9b emerged as the most active compounds (IC50 = 0.034-0.064 µM), showing VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity much superior to that of sunitinib reference drug (IC50 = 0.075 µM). Moreover, compounds 5a, 8c, 9d, 12c were equipotent to sunitinib against VEGFR-2 kinase. Additionally, the most potent compounds were further examined for their anticancer activity against two human renal cancer cell lines. All screened compounds effectively inhibited the growth of the two tested cell lines with IC50 values spanning from sub-micromolar to low micromolar levels. Compounds 5b, 5d, 11c and 12c were three to five-fold more potent than sunitinib against CAKI-1 cell line. Analogue 8c was superior/comparable to sunitinib against CAKI-1/A498 cell lines. Moreover, compound 9d showed double potency of sunitinib against A498 cell line. Besides, compounds 8c and 12c demonstrated a safety profile much better than that of sunitinib against non-cancer human renal cells. As well, the docked models of title compounds revealed strong interactions with key residues within the active site of VEGFR-2 kinase.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of benzofuran-based 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide derivatives as novel tubulin polymerization inhibitors. Bioorg Chem 2020; 102:104076. [PMID: 32683180 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2020.104076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2020] [Revised: 06/30/2020] [Accepted: 07/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
A new series of derivatives characterized by the presence of the 3,4,5-trimethoxylbenzamide substituted benzofurans were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity against four cancer cell lines and one normal human cell line. Among them, derivative 6g with greatest cytotoxicity significantly inhibited the growth of MDA-MB-231, HCT-116, HT-29 and HeLa cell lines with IC50 values of 3.01, 5.20, 9.13, and 11.09 μM, respectively. Importantly, 6g possessed excellent selectivity over non-tumoral cell lines HEK-293 (IC50 > 30 μM). Moreover, mechanistic studies revealed that 6g induced HeLa cells arrested in G2/M phase in a concentration-dependent manner, and inhibited polymerization of tubulin via a consistent way with CA-4. In general, these observations suggest that 6g is a promising anti-cancer lead and is worth further investigation to generate potential antitumor agents.

Abstract
A novel library of amide functionality having 1,2,4-thiadiazole-1,2,4-triazole (8a–j) analogs was designed, synthesized, and structures were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass (ESI–MS) spectral data. Further, all compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activities against four different cancer cell lines including breast cancer (MCF-7, MDA MB-231), lung cancer (A549), and prostate cancer (DU-145) by MTT reduction assay method, and etoposide acts as a standard drug. The results confirmed that majority of the synthesized compounds showed moderate to potent anticancer activities aligned with four cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e, 8g and 8i displayed more potent activity along with inhibitory concentration values ranging from 0.10 ± 0.084 to 11.5 ± 6.49 µM than the standard IC50 values, which ranges from 1.91 ± 0.84 to 3.08 ± 0.135 µM, respectively.

Abstract
The triazole ring system has emerged as an exciting prospect in the optimization studies of promising lead molecules in the quest for new drugs for clinical usage. Several marketed drugs possess these versatile moieties that are used in a wide range of medical indications. This stems from the unique intrinsic properties of triazoles, which impart stability to the basic pharmacophoric unit with an added advantage of being a bioisostere of different chemical functionalities. In the last decade, the use of triazoles as bioisosteres and linkers in the development of microtubule targeting agents has been extensively investigated. The present review highlights the advances in this promising area of drug discovery and development.

Abstract
Organosulfur compounds show cytotoxic potential towards many tumor cell lines. Disulfides and thiosulfonates act through apoptotic processes, inducing proteins associated with apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the unfolded protein response. Three p-substituted symmetric diaryl disulfides and three diaryl thiosulfonates were synthesized and analyzed for inhibition of tubulin polymerization and for human cancer cell cytotoxic activity against seven tumor cell lines and a non-tumor cell line. S-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methoxybenzenesulfonothioate (6) exhibited inhibition of tubulin polymerization and showed the best antiproliferative potential, especially against the 786-0 cell line, being six times more selective as compared with the non-tumor cell line. In addition, compound 6 was able to activate caspase-3 after 24 and 48 h treatments of the 786-0 cell line and induced cell-cycle arrest in the G2/M stage at the highest concentration evaluated at 24 and 48 h. Compound 6 was able to cause complete inhibition of proliferation, inducing the death of 786-0 cells, by increasing the number of cells at G2/M and greater activation of caspase-3.

Abstract
Substituted 1,2,4-triazole nucleus is common in several drugs used in a variety of clinical conditions including infections, hypoglycemia, hypertension and cancer. In this study, we synthesized 1,2,4-triazole and its 16 hydrazone derivatives (B1-B16), characterized them by IR, NMR and Mass spectroscopy, and evaluated their radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro and in vivo. Out of 16 derivatives, five (B1, B5, B6, B9, and B13) demonstrated a significant radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. B6, which possessed two electron-donating hydroxyl groups, was most active among all. Molecular docking and MD simulation of the complex of B6 with prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS) or cyclooxygenase (COX) showed that B6 occupied celecoxib binding site in COX with high affinity (the binding free energy of the complex with COX-1 was -10.5, and -11.2 kcal/mol with COX-2). Maximum anti-inflammatory activity was also shown by the B6 derivative in vivo, in the rat model of carrageenan-induced inflammation. B6, along with four other derivatives (B1, B5, B9 and B13) exhibited 80-90% free radical scavenging activity. The IC50 values of these compounds were ≥40 µM. Griess nitrite and dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein-diacetate assays suggested a significant inhibition of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species, especially by B6 and B9. Taken together, out of 16 derivatives, B6 is reported to have highest anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity at a low dose level, which may be attributed to its two electron-donating hydroxyls. B6 is proposed to be an important scaffold for the synthesis of new drugs against PTGS for use in a myriad of inflammatory and infectious diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
A set of two series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole (11a-n) and 1,2,4-Triazole (12a, c, e, g, h, j-n) based topsentin analogues were prepared by replacing imizadole moiety of topsentin through a multistep synthesis starting from indole. All the compounds synthesized were submitted for single dose (10 µM) screening against a NCI panel of 60-human cancer cell lines. Among all cancer cell lines, colon (HCC-2998) and Breast (MCF-7, T-47D) cancer cell lines were found to be more susceptible for this class of compounds. Among the compounds tested, compounds 11a, 11d, 11f, 12e and 12h, were exhibited good anti-proliferative activity against various cancer cell lines. Compounds 11d, 12e and 12h demonstrated better activity with IC50 2.42 µM, 3.06 µM, and 3.30 µM respectively against MCF-7 human cancer cell line than that of the standard drug doxorubicin IC50 6.31 µM. Furthermore, 11d induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase and also disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential with reducing cell migration potential of MCF-7 cells in dose dependent manner. In vitro microtubule polymerization assays found that compound 11d disrupt tubulin dynamics by inhibiting tubulin polymerization with IC50 3.89 μM compared with standard nocodazole (IC50 2.49 μM). In silico docking studies represented that 11d was binding at colchicine binding site of β-tubulin. Compound 11d emerged as lead molecule from the library of compounds tested and this may serve as a template for further drug discovery.

Abstract
As restricted CA-4 analogues, a novel series of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines possessing 3,4,5-trimethoxylphenyl groups has been achieved successfully via an efficient one-pot three-component reaction of 3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and aldehydes. Initial biological evaluation demonstrated some of target compounds displayed potent antitumor activity in vitro against three cancer cell lines. Among them, the most highly active analogue 26 inhibited the growth of HeLa, and A549 cell lines with IC50 values at 0.75, and 1.02 μM, respectively, indicating excellent selectivity over non-tumoural cell line HEK-293 (IC50 = 29.94 μM) which suggested that the target compounds might possess a high safety index. Moreover, cell cycle analysis illustrated that the analogue 26 significantly induced HeLa cells arrest in G2/M phase, meanwhile the compound could dramatically affect cell morphology and microtubule networks. In addition, compound 28 exhibited potent anti-tubulin activity with IC50 values of 9.90 μM, and molecular docking studies revealed the analogue occupied the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. These observations suggest that [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines represent a new class of tubulin polymerization inhibitors and well worth further investigation aiming to generate potential anticancer agents.

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.

[PMID: 30448234 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2018.11.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2018] [Revised: 11/05/2018] [Accepted: 11/12/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Based on our previous research, three series of new triazolylthioacetamides possessing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety were synthesized, and evaluated for antiproliferative activities and inhibition of tubulin polymerization. The most promising compounds 8b and 8j demonstrated more significant antiproliferative activities against MCF-7, HeLa, and HT-29 cell lines than our lead compound 6. Moreover, analogues 8f, 8j, and 8o manifested more potent antiproliferative activities against HeLa cell line with IC50 values of 0.04, 0.05 and 0.16 μM, respectively, representing 100-, 82-, and 25-fold improvements of the activity compared to compound 6. Furthermore, the representative compound, 8j, was found to induce significant cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in HeLa cell lines via a concentration-dependent manner. Meanwhile, compound 8b exhibited the most potent tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 5.9 μM, which was almost as active as that of CA-4 (IC50 = 4.2 μM). Additionally, molecular docking analysis suggested that 8b formed stable interactions in the colchicine-binding site of tubulin.

Abstract
A series of new (3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl))/(3-(3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl))-(1H-indol-5-yl)(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methanone conjugates 4-6(a-i) were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity on selected human cancer cell lines such as prostate (DU-145), lung (A549), cervical (HeLa) and breast (MCF-7). Most of these conjugates showed considerable cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging from 0.54 to 31.86 μM. Among them, compounds 5g and 6f showed significant activity against human prostate cancer cell line DU-145 with IC50 values of 0.68 μM and 0.54 μM, respectively. Tubulin polymerization assay and immunofluorescence analysis results suggest that these compounds effectively inhibit microtubule assembly formation in DU-145. Further, the apoptosis-inducing ability of these derivatives (5g and 6f) was confirmed by Hoechst staining, measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS generation and annexin V-FITC assays.

Abstract
A series of novel compounds carrying 1,2,4-triazole scaffold was synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against a panel of cancer cell lines using MTT assay. Compounds 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 10b, 10e, and 10 g showed remarkable antiproliferative activity against the tested cell lines. Compounds 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 10b, 10e, and 10 g with the least IC50 values in MTT assay were tested against three known anticancer targets including EGFR, BRAF and Tubulin. The results revealed that compounds 8c and 8d showed almost same BRAF inhibitory activity and were discovered to be potent inhibitors of cancer cell proliferation and were also observed to be strong Tubulin inhibitors. Moreover, 8c also showed the best EGFR inhibition with IC50 = 3.6 μM. Finally molecular modeling studies were performed to explore the binding mode of the most active compounds to the target enzymes.

Abstract
The combretastatins are isolated from South African tree combretum caffrum kuntze. The lead compound combretastatin A-4 has displayed remarkable cytotoxic effect in a wide variety of preclinical tumor models and inhibits tubulin polymerization by interacting at colchicine binding site of microtubule. However, the structural simplicity of C A-4 is favorable for synthesis of various derivatives projected to induce rapid and selective vascular shutdown in tumors. Majority of the molecules have shown excellent antiproliferative activity and are able to inhibit tubulin polymerization as well as possible mechanisms of action have been investigated. In this review article, the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of C A-4 and immense number of its synthetic derivatives with various modifications on the A, B-rings, bridge carbons and their anti mitotic activities are discussed.

Abstract
Thirty-two novel 3-alkylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazole derivatives, designed as cis-restricted combretastatin A-4 analogues, were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities. The results indicated that analogue 20 showed more potent antiproliferative activities against PC-3 cell lines than positive control CA-4. Particularly, the most promising compound 25 displayed 5-fold improvement compared to CA-4 in inhibiting HCT116 cell proliferation with IC50 values of 1.15 μM. Further flow-activated cell sorting analysis revealed that compound 20 displayed a significant effect on G2/M cell-cycle arrest in a dose-dependent manner in PC-3 cells. From this study, analogues 20 and 25 were the most potent anti-cancer agents in this structural class, and were considered lead compounds for further development as anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
5-(1-Methyl-4-phenyl-imidazol-5-yl)indoles 5 were prepared and tested as analogs of the natural vascular-disrupting agent combretastatin A-4 (CA-4). The 3-bromo-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl derivative 5c was far more active than CA-4 with low nanomolar IC50 concentrations against multidrug-resistant KB-V1/Vbl cervix and MCF-7/Topo mamma carcinoma cells, and also against CA-4-resistant HT-29 colon carcinoma cells. While not interfering markedly with the polymerization of tubulin in vitro, indole 5c completely disrupted the microtubule cytoskeleton of cancer cells at low concentrations. It also destroyed real blood vessels, both in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized chicken eggs and within tumor xenografts in mice, without harming embryo or mouse, respectively. Indole 5c was less toxic than CA-4 to endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and cardiomyocytes. In highly vascularized xenograft tumors 5c induced distinct discolorations and histological features typical of vascular-disrupting agents, such as disrupted vessel structures, hemorrhages, and extensive necrosis. In a first preliminary therapy trial, indole 5c retarded the growth of resistant xenograft tumors in mice. © 2016 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract
trans-Cyanocombretastatin A-4 (trans-CA-4) analogues have been structurally modified to afford their more stable CA-4-(2H)-1,2,3-triazole analogues. Fifteen novel, stable 4-heteroaryl-5-aryl-(2H)-1,2,3-triazole CA-4 analogues (8a-i, 9 and 11a-e) were evaluated for anti-cancer activity against a panel of 60 human cancer cell lines. These analogues displayed potent cytotoxic activity against both hematological and solid tumor cell lines with GI50 values in the low nanomolar range. The most potent compound, 8a, was a benzothiophen-2-yl analogue that incorporated a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety connected to the (2H)-1,2,3-triazole ring system. Compound 8a exhibited GI50 values of <10 nM against 80% of the cancer cell lines in the panel. Three triazole analogues, 8a, 8b and 8g, showed particularly potent growth inhibition against the triple negative Hs578T breast cancer cell line with GI50 values of 10.3 nM, 66.5 nM and 20.3 nM, respectively. Molecular docking studies suggest that these compounds bind to the same hydrophobic pocket at the interface of α- and β-tubulin that is occupied by colchicine and cis-CA-4, and are stabilized by Van der Waals' interactions with surrounding amino acid residues. Compound 8a was found to inhibit tubulin polymerization in vitro with an IC50 value of 1.7 µM. The potent cytotoxicity of these novel compounds and their inhibition of tubulin dynamics make these triazole analogues promising candidates for development as anti-cancer drugs.
