Curr Top Med Chem 2024; 24:581-613. [PMID: 37909440 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266264206231020111820] [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: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
The signal transduction and cell proliferation are regulated by the epidermal growth factor receptor. The proliferation of tumor cells, apoptosis, invasion, and angiogenesis is inhibited by the epidermal growth factor receptor. Thus, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, cervical cancer, glioma, and bladder cancer can be treated by targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor. Although third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors are potent drugs, patients exhibit drug resistance after treatment. Thus, the search for new drugs is being continued. Among the different potent epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors, we have reviewed the indole-based inhibitors. We have discussed the structure-activity relationship of the compounds with the active sites of the epidermal growth factor receptor receptors, their synthesis, and molecular docking studies.

Abstract
Synthesis of some novel isoxazole derivatives and their molecular docking with enzymes from CYP450 family carried out using erlotinib, gemcitabine and ketoconazole as reference drugs are reported in this work. Eight isoxazole derivatives of 3,4-substituted phenyl 3-chloroacrylaldehyde and one isoxazole derivative of cinnamaldehyde were synthesized. A molecular docking study of all nine compounds shows good docking score compared to standard drugs erlotinib, gemcitabine and ketoconazole. 4-OH and 4-F derivatives were found to have strong affinity for all six CYP450 proteins under study in the present work. 4-F and 3-NO2 derivatives could be a suitable lead compound inhibitor to CYP1A2 followed by 4-OH derivatives. 4-OH derivative with significant binding affinity showed encouraging inhibition of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C8, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. The current predictions over these nine isoxazole derivatives of 3,4-substituted phenyl 3-chloroacrylaldehyde will be needed to be further investigated in vivo and in vitro conditions to identify the optimum therapeutic efficacy. Synthesis of the isoxazole derivatives is the first known report of the Knoevenagal condensation of acrylaldehyde derivatives to form isoxazole derivatives as per the literature survey. A detailed crystal structure study of five analogues gives insight into the solid-state structural features of this new framework with isoxazole moieties.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Erratic cell proliferation is the initial symptom of cancer, which can eventually metastasize to other organs. Before cancer becomes metastatic, its spread is triggered by pro-angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and Platelet Factor (PF4), all of which are part of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell-surface proteins and aresignaling enzymes that transfer ATP-phosphate to tyrosine residue substrates. Important biological processes like proliferation, differentiation, motility, and cell-cycle regulation are all possessedby these proteins. Unusual RTK expression is typically associated with cell growth abnormalities, which is linked to tumor acquisition, angiogenesis, and cancer progression. In addition to the already available medications, numerous other heterocyclic are being studied for their potential action against a variety of cancers. In the fight against cancer, in particular, these heterocycles have been used for their dynamic core scaffold and their inherent adaptability. In this review article, we have compiled last five years research work including nitrogen containing heterocycles that have targeted RTK. Herein, the SAR and activity of various compounds containing diverse heterocyclic (pyrimidine, indole, pyridine, pyrazole, benzimidazole, and pyrrole) scaffolds are discussed, and they may prove useful in the future for designing new leads against RTKs. Our focus in this manuscript is to comprehensively review the latest research on the biological activity and structural activity relationship of nitrogen compounds as RTK inhibitors. We believe that this may be an important contribution to the field, as it can help guide future research efforts and facilitate the development of more effective cancer therapies.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a critical role in the tumorigenesis of various forms of cancer. Targeting the mutant forms of EGFR has been identified as an attractive therapeutic approach and led to the approval of three generations of inhibitors. The quinazoline core has emerged as a favorable scaffold for the development of novel EGFR inhibitors due to increased affinity for the active site of EGFR kinase. Currently, there are five first-generation (gefitinib, erlotinib, lapatinib, vandetanib, and icotinib) and two second-generation (afatinib and dacomitinib) quinazoline-based EGFR inhibitors approved for the treatment of various types of cancers. The aim of this review is to outline the structural modulations favorable for the inhibitory activity toward both common mutant (del19 and L858R) and resistance-conferring mutant (T790M and C797S) EGFR forms, and provide an overview of the newly synthesized quinazoline derivatives as potentially competitive, covalent or allosteric inhibitors of EGFR.

Abstract
The treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has made substantial progress due to the rapid development of small molecule targeted therapy, with dramatically prolonged survival. As an effective drug for the treatment of NSCLC, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors are currently experiencing issues like severe adverse events and drug resistance. It is urgent to develop novel types of EGFR inhibitors to overcome the abovementioned limitations. Pyrrole always works well as a probe for the creation of novel medication candidates for hard-to-treat conditions like lung cancer. Although the design, synthesis, and biological assays of pyrrole derivatives have been reported, their inhibitory actions against the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) EGFR have not been in-depthly studied. This review highlights the small molecule EGFR inhibitors containing pyrrole heterocyclic pharmacophores in recent years, and the research on their mechanism, biological activity, and structure-activity relationship (SAR).

Abstract
AIMS The effect of surface-modification of Tamoxifen (Tam)-loaded-niosomes on drug cytotoxicity and bio-distribution, via functionalization with chitosan and/or PEGylation, was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tam-loaded hybrid-nanocarriers (Tam-loaded niosomes, chitosomes, PEGylated niosomes, and PEGylated chitosomes) were formulated and characterized. KEY FINDINGS Chitosanization with/without PEGylation proved to selectively enhance Tam-release at the cancerous-acidic micromilieu. Cytotoxic activity study showed that Tam-loaded PEGylated niosomes had a lower IC50 value on MCF-7 cell line (0.39, 0.35, and 0.27 times) than Tam-loaded PEGylated chitosomes, Tam-loaded niosomes, and Tam-loaded chitosomes, respectively. Cell cycle analysis showed that PEGylation and/or Chitosanization significantly impact Tam efficiency in inducing apoptosis, with a preferential influence of PEGylation over chitosanization. The assay of Annexin-V/PI double staining revealed that chitosanized-nanocarriers had a significant role in increasing the incidence of apoptosis over necrosis. Besides, PEGylated-nanocarriers increased apoptosis, as well as total death and necrosis percentages more than what was shown from free Tam. Moreover, the average changes in both Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and Caspase 9 were best improved in cells treated by Tam-loaded PEGylated niosomes over all other formulations. The in-vivo study involving DMBA-induced-breast cancer rats revealed that PEGylation made the highest tumor-growth inhibition (84.9 %) and breast tumor selectivity, while chitosanization had a lower accumulation tendency in the blood (62.3 ng/ml) and liver tissues (103.67 ng/ml). The histopathological specimens from the group treated with Tam-loaded PEGylated niosomes showed the best improvement over other formulations. SIGNIFICANCE All these results concluded the crucial effect of both PEGylation and chitosan-functionalization of Tam-loaded niosomes in enhancing effectiveness, targetability, and safety.

Abstract
Cancer, which is the uncontrolled growth of cells, is the second leading cause of death after heart disease. Targeting drugs, especially to specific genes and proteins involved in growth and survival of cancer cells, is the prime need of research world-wide. Indole moiety, which is a combination of aromatic-heterocyclic compounds, is a constructive scaffold for the development of novel leads. Owing to its bioavailability, high unique chemical properties and significant pharmacological behaviours, indole is considered as the most inquisitive scaffold for anticancer drug research. This is illustrated by the fact that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved several indole-based anticancer agents such as panobinostat, alectinib, sunitinib, osimertinib, anlotinib and nintedanib for clinical use. Furthermore, hundreds of studies on the synthesis and activity of the indole ring have been published in the last three years. Taking into account the facts stated above, we have presented the most recent advances in medicinal chemistry of indole derivatives, encompassing hot articles published between 2018 and 2021 in anticancer drug research. The recent advances made towards the synthesis of promising indole-based anticancer compounds that may act via various targets such as topoisomerase, tubulin, apoptosis, aromatase, kinases, etc., have been discussed. This review also summarizes some of the recent efficient green chemical synthesis for indole rings using various catalysts for the period during 2018–2021. The review also covers the synthesis, structure‒activity relationship, and mechanism by which these leads have demonstrated improved and promising anticancer activity. Indole molecules under clinical and preclinical stages are classified into groups based on their cancer targets and presented in tabular form, along with their mechanism of action. The goal of this review article is to point the way for medicinal chemists to design and develop effective indole-based anticancer agents.

Abstract
The sub-committee constituted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for the management of cervical cancer (CC) detailed in the consensus document (2016) reported CC as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in women. The incidence of an increase in CC and associated mortality in women is a major cause of cancer. To date, human papilloma viral (HPV) infection accounts for more than 99% of CC. However, there are individuals infected with HPV do not develop CC. There is a greater correlation between HPV infection and upregulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling cascade during the initiation, sustenance, and progression of CC. Therefore, EGFR is often targeted to treat CC using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies (mAB). The current review analyzed the existing clinical/pre-clinical studies and the significance of EGFR abundance using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival plot analysis for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). We performed a series of bioinformatics analyses to screen the crucial role of the EGFR gene in CC. Further, different transcription factors that are dysregulated due to EGFR abundance and their relevance were determined using computational tools in this review. Endogenous microRNAs (miRNA) that undergo changes due to alterations in EGFR during CC were identified using computational database and consolidated the information obtained with the published in the area of miRNA and EGFR with special reference to the initiation, sustenance and progression of CC. The current review aims to consolidate contemporary approaches for targeting CC using EGFR and highlight the current role of miRNA and genes that are differently regulated during CC involving EGFR mutations. Potential resistance to the available EGFR therapies such as TKIs and mABs and the need for better therapies are also extensively reviewed for the development of newer therapeutic molecules with better efficacy.

Abstract
Cancer diseases remain major health problems in the world despite significant developments in diagnostic methods and medications. Many of the conventional therapies, however, have limitations due to multidrug resistance or severe side effects. Bladder cancer is a complex disorder, and can be classified according to its diverse genetic backgrounds and clinical features. A very promising direction in bladder cancer treatment is targeted therapy directed at specific molecular pathways. Derivatives of quinazolines constitute a large group of chemicals with a wide range of biological properties, and many quinazoline derivatives are approved for antitumor clinical use, e.g.,: erlotinib, gefitinib, afatinib, lapatinib, and vandetanib. The character of these depends mostly on the properties of the substituents and their presence and position on one of the cyclic compounds. Today, new quinazoline-based compounds are being designed and synthesized as potential drugs of anticancer potency against bladder cancers.

Abstract
The heterocyclic compounds have a great significance in medicinal chemistry because
they have extensive biological activities. Cancer is globally the leading cause of death
and it is a challenge to develop appropriate treatment for the management of cancer. Continuous
efforts are being made to find a suitable medicinal agent for cancer therapy. Nitrogencontaining
heterocycles have received noteworthy attention due to their wide and distinctive
pharmacological activities. One of the most important nitrogen-containing heterocycles in
medicinal chemistry is ‘quinazoline’ that possesses a wide spectrum of biological properties.
This scaffold is an important pharmacophore and is considered a privileged structure. Various
substituted quinazolines displayed anticancer activity against different types of cancer. This
review highlights the recent advances in quinazoline based molecules as anticancer agents.
Several in-vitro and in-vivo models used along with the results are also included. A subpart briefing natural quinazoline
containing anticancer compounds is also incorporated in the review.

Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12092613. [PMID: 32933200 PMCID: PMC7564424 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12092613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2020] [Revised: 09/05/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) covers for almost 85% of all lung cancers and a major contributor to the overall cancer death rate. Erlotinib is used to treat NSCLC via inhibition of epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase activity. Despite its high efficacy, recurrence can occur in patients who become resistant to the drug. We performed DARTS LC-MS/MS with SWATH of DIA analysis and identified a novel binding protein of Erlotinib that may underlie NSCLC resistance. Our study indicated that Erlotinib binds POLA2 in addition to EGFR. This was confirmed by DARTS and CETSA results. Importantly, POLA2 expression levels in four NSCLC cell lines were positively correlated with anti-proliferative Erlotinib efficacy (Pearson correlation coefficient, R = 0.9886). These results suggest that POLA2 is a novel complementary target protein of Erlotinib, and could clinically provide validity as a surrogate marker for drug resistance in patients with NSCLC. Abstract Erlotinib inhibits epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase activity and is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite its high efficacy, recurrence can occur in patients who become resistant to the drug. To address the underlying mechanism of Erlotinib resistance, we investigated additional mechanisms related to mode-of-drug-action, by multiple protein-binding interactions, besides EGFR by using drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods with non-labeled Erlotinib. DNA polymerase alpha subunit B (POLA2) was identified as a new Erlotinib binding protein that was validated by the DARTS platform, complemented with cellular thermal shift assays. Genetic knock-down of POLA2 promoted the anti-proliferative effect of the drug in the Erlotinib-resistant cell line H1299 with high POLA2 expression, whereas the overexpression of POLA2 restored anti-proliferative effects in the Erlotinib-sensitive cell line HCC827 with low POLA2 expression. Importantly, POLA2 expression levels in four NSCLC cell lines were positively correlated with anti-proliferative Erlotinib efficacy (Pearson correlation coefficient, R = 0.9886). These results suggest that POLA2 is a novel complementary target protein of Erlotinib, and could clinically provide validity as a surrogate marker for drug resistance in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A series of novel 2 substituted 4-anilinoquinazolines-pyrrole hybrids were synthesized, and cytotoxic activity were evaluated using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay.
Methods
The cell line used for the activity was MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and A459 human lung adenocarcinoma cell line. The newly quinazoline-pyrrole hybrid compounds have been synthesized from the 4-chloro-7-(3-chloropropoxy)-6-methoxy-2-phenylquinazoline derivatives. The chemical structure of the synthesized compounds has been confirmed by FTIR, 1HNMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectral data. The cytotoxic study was conducted using morphological study and MTT assay against adenocarcinoma and human breast cancer cell lines.
Results
The results of cytotoxic evaluation revealed that few compounds show moderate to promising activity when compared with standard doxorubicin (IC50 value 41.05 μM at 72 h). The synthesized compounds 7d and 7f were found effective in breast cancer cell line with IC50 values 40.64 μM and 44.98 μM at 72 h, respectively. The synthesized compounds 7d, 7f, 7g, and 7h were found effective in adenocarcinoma cell line with IC50 values of 41.05 μM, 45.54 μM, 46.93 μM, and 48.62 μM, respectively.
Conclusion
Based on the experimental evidences, we proposed structure activity relationship to provide significant information for the design and development of further potent anticancer agents.

Abstract
In this study, we analyzed some monofunctional Ru (II) complexes containing chlorine, bromine and fluorine atoms around the central atom. The best calculation level among HF, B3LYP and M062X methods for [Ru (Cl-Ph-tpy)(NN)X]+ (X = F, Cl, Br) was determined in the light of Benchmark analysis and according to this analysis results, the best level is shown as B3LYP-LANL2DZ/6-31G(d). In addition to this, the spectroscopic data (IR, NMR and UV-Vis) were also obtained in agreement with experimental results. The tendency of anticancer activity and structural activity relationship (SAR) parameters are predicted with some quantum chemical methods. Surface and contour diagrams, as well as electron densities on mentioned complexes were interpreted through theoretically obtained results. Finally, the anticancer activity tendency of the relevant complexes on the human cervical carcinoma cell line (ID: 1 M17) is supported by molecular docking calculations.

Abstract
Due to the pharmacological activities of quinazoline and quinazolinone scaffolds, it has aroused great interest in medicinal chemists for the development of new drugs or drug candidates. The pharmacological activities of quinazoline and its related scaffolds include anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-convulsant, and antihyperlipidaemia. Recently, molecular hybridization technology is used for the development of hybrid analogues with improved potency by combining two or more pharmacophores of bioactive scaffolds. The molecular hybridization of various biologically active pharmacophores with quinazoline derivatives resulted in lead compounds with multi-faceted biological activity wherein specific as well as multiple targets were involved. The present review summarizes the advances in lead compounds of quinazoline hybrids and their related heterocycles in medicinal chemistry. Moreover, the review also helps to intensify the drug development process by providing an understanding of the potential role of these hybridized pharmacophoric features in exhibiting various pharmacological activities.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as quinoline, quinazolinones and indole are scaffolds of natural products and have broad biological effects. During the last years those structures have been intensively synthesized and modified to yield new synthetic molecules that can specifically inhibit the activity of dysregulated protein kinases in cancer cells. Herein, a series of newly synthesized isoquinolinamine (FX-1 to 8) and isoindoloquinazolinone (FX-9, FX-42, FX-43) compounds were evaluated in regards to their anti-leukemic potential on human B- and T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. Several biological effects were observed. B-ALL cells (SEM, RS4;11) were more sensitive against isoquinolinamine compounds than T-ALL cells (Jurkat, CEM). In SEM cells, metabolic activity decreased with 10 μM up to 26.7% (FX-3), 25.2% (FX-7) and 14.5% (FX-8). The 3-(p-Tolyl) isoquinolin-1-amine FX-9 was the most effective agent against B- and T-ALL cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.54 to 1.94 μM. None of the tested compounds displayed hemolysis on erythrocytes or cytotoxicity against healthy leukocytes. Anti-proliferative effect of FX-9 was associated with changes in cell morphology and apoptosis induction. Further, influence of FX-9 on PI3K/AKT, MAPK and JAK/STAT signaling was detected but was heterogeneous. Functional inhibition testing of 58 kinases revealed no specific inhibitory activity among cancer-related kinases. In conclusion, FX-9 displays significant antileukemic activity in B- and T-ALL cells and should be further evaluated in regards to the mechanisms of action. Further compounds of the current series might serve as templates for the design of new compounds and as basic structures for modification approaches.
