[PMID: 37761977 PMCID: PMC10531289 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241813674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Among the various substances that interfere with the microtubule formation process, isothiocyanates (ITCs) are the group of compounds for which the binding mode and mechanism of action have not yet been explained. To better understand the structure-activity relationship of tubulin-isothiocyanate interactions, we designed and synthesized a series of sixteen known and novel, structurally diverse ITCs, including amino acid ester-derived isothiocyanates, bis-isothiocyanates, analogs of benzyl isothiocyanate, and phosphorus analogs of sulforaphane. All synthesized compounds and selected natural isothiocyanates (BITC, PEITC, AITC, and SFN) were tested in vitro to evaluate their antiproliferative activity, tubulin polymerization inhibition potential, and influence on cell cycle progression. The antiproliferative activity of most of the newly tested compounds exceeded the action of natural isothiocyanates, with four structures being more potent as tubulin polymerization inhibitors than BITC. As a confirmation of anti-tubulin activity, the correlation between polymerization inhibition and cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase was observed for the most active compounds. In light of the biological results indicating significant differences in the impact of structurally diverse isothiocyanate on tubulin polymerization, in silico analysis was conducted to analyze the possible mode of isothiocyanate-tubulin binding and to show how it can influence the polymerization reaction.

Abstract
Azole frameworks serve as privileged scaffolds in the contemporary drug design
paradigm owing to their unique physicochemical profile that promotes the development
of highly selective, physiological benevolent chemotherapeutics. Several azole nuclei
function as bioisostere in medicinal chemistry and prompt the development of tailored
therapeutics for targeting the desired biological entities. Besides, the azole scaffold forms
an integral part in the advanced drug designing methodologies, such as target template insitu
drug synthesis, that assists in rapid identification of the hit molecules form a diverse
pool of leads; and direct biomolecule-drug conjugation, along with bioorthogonal strategies
that ensure localization, and superior target specificity of the directed therapeutic.
Lastly, the structural diversity of azole framework and high yielding click synthetic methods
provide a comprehensive Structure-Activity Relationship analysis for design optimization of the potential
drug molecules by fine-tuning the placement of different substituents critical for the activity. This review provides
a comprehensive analysis of the synthesis and anticancer potential of azole based chemotherapeutics.
