Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibition potentiates chemotherapeutics-mediated sensitization of metastatic breast cancer stem cells. Cancer Rep (Hoboken) 2024; 7:e2049. [PMID: 38522013 PMCID: PMC10961089 DOI: 10.1002/cnr2.2049] [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: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastasis has been a cause of the poor prognosis and cancer relapse of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. The metastatic nature of TNBC is contributed by the breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) which have been implicated in tumorigenesis. Higher expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in breast CSCs has been used as a molecular target for breast cancer therapeutics. Thus, it necessitates the design and generation of efficacious EGFR inhibitors to target the downstream signaling associated with the cellular proliferation and tumorigenesis of breast cancer. AIM To generate efficacious EGFR inhibitors that can potentiate the chemotherapeutic-mediated mitigation of breast cancer tumorigenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified small molecule EGFR inhibitors using molecular docking studies. In-vitro screening of the compounds was undertaken to identify the cytotoxicity profile of the small-molecule EGFR inhibitors followed by evaluation of the non-cytotoxic compounds in modulating the doxorubicin-induced migration, in-vitro tumorigenesis potential, and their effect on the pro-apoptotic genes' and protein markers' expression in TNBC cells. Compound 1e potentiated the doxorubicin-mediated inhibitory effect on proliferation, migration, in-vitro tumorigenesis capacity, and induction of apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells, and in the sorted CD24+-breast cancer cells and CD24-/CD44+-breast CSC populations. Orthotopic xenotransplantation of the breast CSCs-induced tumors in C57BL/6J mice was significantly inhibited by the low dose of Doxorubicin in the presence of compound 1e as depicted by molecular and immunohistochemical analysis. CONCLUSION Thus, the study suggests that EGFR inhibition-mediated sensitization of the aggressive and metastatic breast CSCs in TNBCs toward chemotherapeutics may reduce the relapse of the disease.

Abstract
The development of general and more sustainable heterogeneous catalytic processes for Friedel-Crafts (FC) alkylation reactions is a key objective of interest for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and commodity chemicals. Sustainable heterogeneous catalysis for the typical FC alkylation of an easily accessible carbonyl electrophile and arenes or with two different arene nucleophiles in one-pot is a prime challenge. Herein, we present a resolution to these issues through the design and utilization of a mesoporous silica catalyst that has been functionalized with sulfonic acid. For the synthesis of sulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica (MSN-SO3H), thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica was first synthesized by the co-condensation method, followed by oxidation of the thiol functionality to the sulfonic acid group. Sulfonation of mesoporous silica was confirmed by 13C CP MAS NMR spectroscopy. Further, the devised heterogeneous catalysis using MSN-SO3H has been successfully employed in the construction of diverse polyalkanes including various bioactive molecules, viz arundine, tatarinoid-C, and late-stage functionalization of natural products like menthol and Eugenol. Further, we have utilized this sustainable technique to facilitate the formation of unsymmetrical C-S bonds in a one-pot fashion. In addition, the catalyst was successfully recovered and recycled for eight cycles, demonstrating the high sustainability and cost-effectiveness of this protocol for both academic and industrial applications.

Abstract
Here, we report a simple, efficient, and green protocol for the one-pot synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives via a sequential three-component strategy using aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and pyrazolin-5-one in a water-SDS-ionic liquid system. This is a base and volatile organic solvent-free approach that could be applicable to a wide substrate scope. The key advantages of the method over other established protocols are very high yield, eco-friendly conditions, chromatography-free purification and recyclability of the reaction medium. Our study revealed that the N-substituent present in pyrazolinone controls the selectivity of the process. N-unsubstituted pyrazolinone favours the formation of 2,4-dihydro pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles whereas under identical conditions N-phenyl substituent pyrazolinone favours the formation 1,4-dihydro pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. Structures of the synthesized products were established by NMR and X-ray diffraction techniques. Energy optimized structures and energy gaps between the HOMO-LUMO of some selected compounds were estimated using density functional theory to explain the extra stability of the 2,4-dihydro pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles over 1,4-dihydro pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles.

Abstract
The indole moiety is an important N-heterocycle found in natural products, and a key structural component of many value-added chemicals including pharmaceuticals. In particular, bis(3-indolyl)methanes (BIMs) are an important subgroup of indoles, composed of two indole units. Herein, we report the development of a simple method to access BIMs derivatives in yields of up to 77 % by exploiting a tBuOK-mediated coupling reaction of indoles and benzyl alcohols.

Abstract
An ecofriendly, inexpensive, and efficient route for synthesizing 3,3'-bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) and their derivatives was carried out by an electrophilic substitution reaction of indole with structurally divergent aldehydes and ketones using taurine and water as a green catalyst and solvent, respectively, under sonication conditions. Using water as the only solvent, the catalytic process demonstrated outstanding activity, productivity, and broad functional group tolerance, affording the required BIM natural products and derivatives in excellent yields (59-90%). Furthermore, in silico based structure activity analysis of the synthesized BIM derivatives divulges their potential ability to bind antineoplastic drug target and spindle motor protein kinesin Eg5. The precise binding mode of BIM derivatives with the ATPase motor domain of Eg5 is structurally reminiscent with previously reported allosteric inhibitor Arry520, which is under phase III clinical trials. Nevertheless, detailed analysis of the binding poses indicates that BIM derivatives bind the allosteric pocket of the Eg5 motor domain more robustly than Arry520; moreover, unlike Arry520, BIM binding is found to be resistant to drug-resistant mutations of Eg5. Accordingly, a structure-guided mechanism of Eg5 inhibition by synthesized BIM derivatives is proposed.
