EGFR inhibitors and apoptotic inducers: Design, synthesis, anticancer activity and docking studies of novel xanthine derivatives carrying chalcone moiety as hybrid molecules. Bioorg Chem 2019; 89:102997. [PMID: 31136902 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2019.102997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 84] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2018] [Revised: 03/21/2019] [Accepted: 05/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
One of the helpful ways to improve the effectiveness of anticancer agents and weaken drug resistance is to use hybrid molecules. therefore, the current study intended to introduce 20 novel xanthine/chalcone hybrids 9-28 of promising anticancer activity. Compounds 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 20 and 23 exhibited potent inhibition of cancer cells growth with IC50 ranging from 1.0 ± 0.1 to 3.5 ± 0.4 μM compared to doxorubicin with IC50 ranging from 0.90 ± 0.62 to 1.41 ± 0.58 μM and that compounds 11 and 16 were the best. To verify the mechanism of their anticancer activity, compounds 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 20 and 23 were evaluated for their EGFR inhibitory effect. The study results revealed that compound 11 showed IC50 = 0.3 µM on the target enzyme which is more potent than staurosporine reference drug (IC50 = 0.4 µM). Accordingly, the apoptotic effect of the most potent compounds 11 was extensively investigated and showed a marked increase in Bax level up to 29 folds, and down-regulation in Bcl2 to 0.28 fold, in comparison to the control. Furthermore, the effect of compound 11 on Caspases 3 and 8 was evaluated and was found to increase their levels by 8 and 14 folds, respectively. Also, the effect of compound 11 on the cell cycle and its cytotoxic effect were examined. Moreover, a molecular docking study was adopted to confirm mechanism of action.

Abstract
The topoisomerase enzymes play an important role in DNA metabolism, and searching for enzyme inhibitors is an important target in the search for new anticancer drugs. Discovery of new anticancer chemotherapeutical capable of inhibiting topoisomerase enzymes is highlighted in anticancer research. Therefore, biologists, organic chemists and medicinal chemists all around the world have been identifying, designing, synthesizing and evaluating a variety of novel bioactive molecules targeting topoisomerase. This review summarizes types of topoisomerase inhibitors in the past decade, and divides them into nine classes by structural characteristics, including N-heterocycles compounds, quinone derivatives, flavonoids derivatives, coumarin derivatives, lignan derivatives, polyphenol derivatives, diterpenes derivatives, fatty acids derivatives, and metal complexes. Then we discussed the application prospect and development of these anticancer compounds, as well as concluded parts of their structural-activity relationships. We believe this review would be invaluable in helping to further search potential topoisomerase inhibition as antitumor agent in clinical usage.

Abstract
Cancer has emerged as a leading cause of death throughout the world. Peptides are a novel class of anticancer agents that can specifically target cancer cells with low toxicity to normal tissues and thus, offer new opportunities for future cancer treatment. On the other hand, Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic, also known to its anticancer property for enabling cell cycle arrest and creating double strand breaks in nucleic acid can trigger apoptosis of cancer cells. Thus, joining anticancer peptides with Ciprofloxacin may be good idea to get benefit of the both compounds' properties and therefore gives better anticancer agents. The aim of this study was to synthesize Ciprofloxacin- cytotoxic peptide conjugates and to investigate the anticancer activity of the resultant compounds. The conjugates were prepared by solid phase peptide synthesis technique using Fmoc strategy. Anticancer activity of these compounds was examined on three cancer cell lines, HT-29, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 as well as skin fibroblast cells as a control, employing MTT test. Our results showed that the cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds against cancer cells was raised considerably without producing a high toxicity on normal cells. Moreover, Ciprofloxacin-peptide conjugates showed selectivity against different kinds of breast cancer cells, especially on those with triple negative receptors. Therefore, it can be suggested that the strategy of making Ciprofloxacin- peptide conjugates as cytotoxic agents with safety profiles on the normal cells, rise promise to find better chemotherapeutic candidates to combat cancer.

Abstract
A new series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole/chalcone hybrids was designed, synthesized, identified with different spectroscopic techniques and biologically evaluated as inhibitors of EGFR, Src, and IL-6. The synthesized compounds showed promising anticancer activity, particularly against leukemia, with 8v being the most potent. The synthesized compounds exhibited strong to moderate cytotoxic activities against K-562, KG-1a, and Jurkat leukemia cell lines in MTT assays. Compound 8v showed the strongest cytotoxic activity with IC50 of 1.95 µM, 2.36 µM and 3.45 µM against K-562, Jurkat and KG-1a leukemia cell lines, respectively. Moreover; the synthesized compounds inhibited EGFR, Src, and IL-6. Compound 8v was most effective at inhibiting EGFR (IC50 = 0.24 μM), Src (IC50 = 0.96 μM), and IL-6 (% of control = 20%). Additionally, most of the compounds decreased STAT3 activation.

Abstract
A series of quinoline-chalcone hybrids was designed as potential anti-cancer agents, synthesized and evaluated. Different cytotoxic assays revealed that compounds experienced promising activity. Compounds 9i and 9j were the most potent against all the cell lines tested with IC50 = 1.91-5.29 µM against A549 and K-562 cells. Mechanistically, 9i and 9j induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in both A549 and K562 cells. Moreover, all PI3K isoforms were inhibited non selectively with IC50s of 52-473 nM when tested against the two mentioned compounds with 9i being most potent against PI3K-γ (IC50 = 52 nM). Docking of 9i and 9j showed a possible formation of H-bonding with essential valine residues in the active site of PI3K-γ isoform. Meanwhile, Western blotting analysis revealed that 9i and 9j inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, as well as GSK-3β in both A549 and K562 cells, suggesting the correlation of blocking PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway with the above antitumor activities. Together, our findings support the antitumor potential of quinoline-chalcone derivatives for NSCLC and CML by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exogenous antioxidants are considered as a promising therapeutic approach to treat neurodegenerative diseases since they could prevent and/or minimize the neuronal damage by oxidation. OBJECTIVE Three series of lipophilic compounds structurally based on scutellarein (2), which is one metabolite of scutellarin (1) in vivo, have been designed and synthesized. METHODS Their antioxidant activity was evaluated by detecting the 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) produced in the ferrous salt/ascorbate-induced autoxidation of lipids, which were present in microsomal membranes of rat hepatocytes. The lipophilicity of these compounds indicated as partition coefficient between n-octanol and buffer was investigated by ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometer. RESULTS This study indicated that compound 5e which had a benzyl group substituted at the C4'- OH position showed a potent antioxidant activity and good lipophilicity. CONCLUSION 5e could be an effective candidate for preventing or reducing the oxidative status associated with the neurodegenerative processes.

Abstract
A novel series of 35 angularly fused pentacyclic 13H-benzo[f]chromeno[4,3-b][1,7]naphthyridines and 13H-benzo[f]chromeno[4,3-b][1,7]naphthyridin-5-ium chlorides were designed and synthesized. Their cytotoxic activities were investigated against six human cancer cell lines (NCIH23, HCT15, NUGC-3, ACHN, PC-3, and MDA-MB-231). Among all screened compounds; 28, 30, 34, 35, 46, 48, 52, and 53 compounds exhibited potent cytotoxic activities against all tested human cancer cell lines. Further, these potent lead cytotoxic agents were evaluated against human Topoisomerase I and IIα inhibition. Among them, the compound 48 exhibited dual Topoisomerase I and IIα inhibition especially at 20 μM concentrations the compound 48 exhibited 1.25 times more potent Topoisomerase IIα inhibitory activity (38.3%) than the reference drug etoposide (30.6%). The compound 52 also exhibited excellent (88.4%) topoisomerase I inhibition than the reference drug camptothecin (66.7%) at 100 μM concentrations. Molecular docking studies of the compounds 48 and 52 with topo I discovered that they both intercalated into the DNA single-strand cleavage site where the compound 48 have van der Waals interactions with residues Arg364, Pro431, and Asn722 whilst the compound 52 have with Arg364, Thr718, and Asn722 residues. Both the compounds 48 and 52 have π-π stacking interactions with the stacked DNA bases. The docking studies of the compound 48 with topo IIα explored that it was bound to the topo IIα DNA cleavage site where etoposide was situated. The benzo[f]chromeno[4,3-b][1,7]naphthyridine ring of the compound 48 was stacked between the DNA bases of the cleavage site with π-π stacking interactions and there were no hydrogen bond interactions with topo IIα.

Abstract
Hybrid compounds that combine the 1,3,4-thiadiazole-containing catechol moiety with a chalcone motif were synthesized and examined for their antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity, and DNA-binding activity. A series of thirteen compounds showed strong antioxidant and cytotoxic effects on human acute promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. Several compounds exerted good cytotoxic activities on cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells. The treatment of HeLa cells with IC50 and double IC50 concentrations of the compounds 5a, 5c, 5f, and 5m induced a statistically significant increase in the percentage of cells within a subG1 cell cycle phase. The examined compounds caused G2/M cell cycle arrest in HeLa cells. Each of these compounds triggered apoptosis in HeLa cells through activation of caspase-3, the main effector caspase, caspase-8, which is involved in the extrinsic apoptotic pathway, and caspase-9, which is involved in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. All of the examined compounds decreased the expression levels of MMP2 in HeLa cells and levels of protumorigenic miR-133b. Compounds 5a and 5m lowered the expression level of oncogenic miR-21 in HeLa cells. In addition, compounds 5a, 5f, and 5m decreased the expression levels of oncogenic miR-155 while the treatment of HeLa cells with compounds 5a, 5c, and 5f increased expression of tumor-suppressive miR-206. Observed effects of these compounds on expression levels of four examined miRNAs suggest their prominent cancer-suppressive activity. An investigation by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy showed more efficient calf thymus DNA binding activity of the compound 5m in comparison to other tested compounds. Results of a pUC19 plasmid cleavage study and comet assay showed DNA damaging activities of compounds 5a and 5c.

Abstract
Novel topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors have gained considerable interest for the development of anticancer agents. In this study, a series of carbazole derivatives containing chalcone analogs (CDCAs) were synthesized and investigated for their Topo II inhibition and cytotoxic activities. The results from Topo II mediated DNA relaxation assay showed that CDCAs could significantly inhibit the activity of Topo II, and the structure-activity relationship indicated the halogen substituent in phenyl ring play an important role in the activity. Further mechanism studies revealed that CDCAs function as non-intercalative Topo II catalytic inhibitors. Moreover, some CDCAs showed micromolar cytotoxic activities. The most potent compound 3h exhibited notable growth inhibition against four human cancer cell lines. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that compounds 3d and 3h arrested the HL-60 cells in sub G1 phase by induction of apoptosis. It was further confirmed by Annexin-V-FITC binding assay. Western blot analysis revealed that compound 3h induces apoptosis likely through the activation of caspase proteins.

Ubiquitous Nature of Fluoroquinolones: The Oscillation between Antibacterial and Anticancer Activities. Antibiotics (Basel) 2017; 6:antibiotics6040026.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones are synthetic antibacterial agents that stabilize the ternary complex of prokaryotic topoisomerase II enzymes (gyrase and Topo IV), leading to extensive DNA fragmentation and bacteria death. Despite the similar structural folds within the critical regions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic topoisomerases, clinically relevant fluoroquinolones display a remarkable selectivity for prokaryotic topoisomerase II, with excellent safety records in humans. Typical agents that target human topoisomerases (such as etoposide, doxorubicin and mitoxantrone) are associated with significant toxicities and secondary malignancies, whereas clinically relevant fluoroquinolones are not known to exhibit such propensities. Although many fluoroquinolones have been shown to display topoisomerase-independent antiproliferative effects against various human cancer cells, those that are significantly active against eukaryotic topoisomerase show the same DNA damaging properties as other topoisomerase poisons. Empirical models also show that fluoroquinolones mediate some unique immunomodulatory activities of suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines and super-inducing interleukin-2. This article reviews the extended roles of fluoroquinolones and their prospects as lead for the unmet needs of "small and safe" multimodal-targeting drug scaffolds.

Abstract
The present study examined the cytotoxicity, anti-cancer reactivity, and immunomodulatory properties of new synthetically prepared fluoroquinolone derivative 6-fluoro-8-nitro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate (6FN) in vitro. The cytotoxicity/toxicity studies (concentrations in the range 1-100μM) are focused on the cervical cancer cells HeLa, murine melanoma cancer cells B16, non-cancer fibroblast NIH-3T3 cells and reconstructed human epidermis tissues EpiDerm™. The significant growth inhibition of cancer cells HeLa and B16 was detected. The cytotoxicity was mediated via apoptosis-associated with activation of caspase-9 and -3. After 72h of treatment, the two highest 6FN concentrations (100 and 50μM) induced toxic effect on epidermis tissue EpiDerm™, even the structural changes in tissue were observed with concentration of 100μM. The effective induction of RAW 264.7 macrophages cell-release of pro- and anti-inflammatory TH1, TH2 and TH17 cytokines, with anti-cancer and/or anti-infection activities, respectively, has been revealed even following low-dose exposition.

Abstract
The practice of polypharmacology is not a new concept but the approaches which are being adopted for administering the two or more drugs together are varied from time to time. Taking two or more drugs simultaneously, co-formulation of two or more active agents in a single tablet and development of hybrid molecular entities capable to modulate multiple targets are the three popular approaches for multidrug therapy. The simultaneous use of more than one drug for the chemotherapy of a single disease demands a lot of patient compliance. Hence the present form of polypharmacology is gaining popularity in the form of hybrid molecules (multiple ligand approach). From the last 1-2 decades, the synthesis of hybrid molecules by the combination of different biologically relevant moieties has been under constant escalation along with their evaluation as diverse range of pharmacological agents and as potent drugs. This review is focused on the biological potential of hybrid molecules with particular mention of those exhibiting anti-fungal, anti-tuberculosis, anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. A comparison of the drug potency of the hybrid molecules with their individual counterparts is discussed for quantifying the significance of the concept of molecular hybridisation.

Abstract
New N-4-piperazinyl derivatives of ciprofloxacin 2a-g were prepared and tested for their cytotoxic activity. The primary in vitro one dose anticancer assay experienced promising cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines especially non-small cell lung cancer. Independently, compounds 2b, 2d, 2f and 2g showed anticancer activity against human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells (IC50=14.8, 24.8, 23.6 and 20.7μM, respectively) compared to the parent ciprofloxacin (IC50 >100μM) and doxorubicin as a positive control (IC50=1μM). The flow cytometric analysis for 2b showed dose dependent G2/M arrest in A549 cells. Also, 2b increased the expression of p53 and p21 and decreased the expression of cyclin B1 and Cdc2 proteins in A549 cells without any effect on the same proteins expression in WI-38 cells. Specific inhibition of p53 by pifithrin-α reversed the G2/M phase arrest induced by the 2b compound, suggesting contribution of p53 to increase. Taken together, 2b induced G2/M phase arrest via p53/p21 dependent pathway. The results indicate that 2b can be used as a lead compound for further development of new derivatives against non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
Apoptosis is essential for normal development and the maintenance of homeostasis. It plays a necessary role to protect against carcinogenesis by eliminating damaged cells. Many studies have demonstrated that the dysregulation of apoptosis results in cancer and this provides an approach to develop therapeutic agents via inducing apoptosis. In our previous studies 4β-cinnamido linked podophyllotoxin conjugates were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity in a panel of five human cancer cell lines and the new molecules like 17a and 17f were considered as potential leads. The cytotoxic activity was comparable to etoposide. These observations prompted us to investigate the mechanism underplaying the cytotoxic activity and apoptotic pathway induced by these compounds in human lung cancer cells A459. The results of the present study revealed that these compounds exhibited DNA topoisomerase IIα inhibition and induced mitochondrial mediated apoptosis. It was further confirmed by Mitochondrial membrane potential, Cytochrome c release, cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, regulation of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 and pro apoptotic protein Bax studied by Western blot analysis. Annexin V-FITC assay also suggested that these compounds induced cell death by apoptosis. Pretreatment with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) prevented the generation of ROS. Further, pretreatment with NAC significantly inhibited 17a and 17f induced apoptosis, suggesting that ROS are the key mediators for 17a and 17f induced apoptosis. These data indicate that these compounds might induce apoptosis in A549 cells through a ROS mediated mitochondrial dysfunction pathway. Moreover, these compounds did not significantly inhibit the noncancerous human embryonic kidney cells, HEK-293. Docking studies also elucidate the potential of these molecules to bind to the DNA topoisomerase II. Podophyllotoxin analogs were investigated for their mechanism and apoptotic pathway against lung cancer cell line, A549. These podophyllotoxin analogs inhibited DNA topoisomerase IIα and induced mitochondrial mediated apoptosis in lung cancer cell line, A549. Western blot analysis suggested that these compounds inhibited the DNA topoisomerase IIα. Studies like, Measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential (∆Ψm), Generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Annexin V-FITC assay suggested that these compounds induced mitochondrial mediated apoptosis. Pretreatment with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) suggested that ROS plays a role in 17a and 17f induced apoptosis. Further the apoptotic effect of these compounds was confirmed by western blot analysis of pro apoptotic protein Bax and antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, Cytochrome c release and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Moreover, these compounds did not significantly inhibit the noncancerous human embryonic kidney cells, HEK-293.

Abstract
A series of novel hybrids based on benzofuroxan derivatives and fluoroquinolones (4a-d-6a-d) have been synthesized. Unexpectedly, the reactions have resulted in salt products formation during the hydrolysis of benzofuroxans by water molecules being present in the solvent instead of usual substitution products. All the compounds have been screened for antimicrobial and toxic activities. All resulting compounds retain high activity characteristic for fluoroquinolones. Many of the salts based on benzofuroxans and fluoroquinolones have higher activity than starting fluoroquinolones against Bacillus cereus 8035. Among the screened compounds, the compound 4d has shown the best antibacterial activity against B. cereus 8035, 8 times higher than the original Lomefloxacin (MBC value 1.5 μg/mL).

Abstract
Scutellarin (1) could be hydrolyzed into scutellarein (2) in vivo and then converted into methylated, sulfated and glucuronidated forms. In order to investigate the biological activities of these methylated metabolites, eight methylated analogs of scutellarein (2) were synthesized via semi-synthetic methods. The antithrombotic activities of these compounds were evaluated through the analyzation of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (FIB). Their antioxidant activities were assessed by measuring their scavenging capacities toward 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and the ability to protect PC12 cells against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of these compounds including aqueous solubility and lipophilicity were also investigated. The results showed that 6-O-methylscutellarein (5) demonstrated potent antithrombotic activity, stronger antioxidant activity and balanced solubility and permeability compared with scutellarin (1), which warrants further development of 5 as a promising lead for the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
Chalcone or (E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-one scaffold remained a fascination among researchers in the 21st century due to its simple chemistry, ease of synthesis and a wide variety of promising biological activities. Several natural and (semi) synthetic chalcones have shown anti-cancer activity due to their inhibitory potential against various targets namely ABCG2/P-gp/BCRP, 5α-reductase, aromatase, 17-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, HDAC/Situin-1, proteasome, VEGF, VEGFR-2 kinase, MMP-2/9, JAK/STAT signaling pathways, CDC25B, tubulin, cathepsin-K, topoisomerase-II, Wnt, NF-κB, B-Raf and mTOR etc. In this review, a comprehensive study on molecular targets/pathways involved in carcinogenesis, mechanism of actions (MOAs), structure activity relationships (SARs) and patents granted have been highlighted. With the knowledge of molecular targets, structural insights and SARs, this review may be helpful for (medicinal) chemists to design more potent, safe, selective and cost effective anti-cancer chalcones.

Abstract
Cancer is a multifactorial disease that requires treatments able to target multiple intracellular components and signaling pathways. The natural compound, curcumin, was already described as a promising anticancer agent due to its multipotent properties and huge amount of molecular targets in vitro. Its translation to the clinic is, however, limited by its reduced solubility and bioavailability in patients. In order to overcome these pharmacokinetic deficits of curcumin, several strategies, such as the design of synthetic analogs, the combination with specific adjuvants or nano-formulations, have been developed. By taking into account the risk-benefit profile of drug combinations, as well as the knowledge about curcumin's structure-activity relationship, a new concept for the combination of curcumin with scaffolds from different natural products or components has emerged. The concept of a hybrid curcumin molecule is based on the incorporation or combination of curcumin with specific antibodies, adjuvants or other natural products already used or not in conventional chemotherapy, in one single molecule. The high diversity of such conjugations enhances the selectivity and inherent biological activities and properties, as well as the efficacy of the parental compound, with particular emphasis on improving the efficacy of curcumin for future clinical treatments.

Abstract
Based on a rationally conceived pharmacophore model to build a multi-target bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor, twenty-one fluoroquinolone-flavonoid hybrids were synthesized. Some obtained hybrids show excellent antibacterial activity against drug-resistant microorganisms with narigenin-ciprofloxacin being the most active, showing 8, 43, 23 and 88 times better activity than ciprofloxacin against Escherichia coli ATCC 35218, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Candida albicans ATCC 90873, respectively. Drug accumulation and DNA supercoiling assays of two active analogues revealed potent inhibition of both the DNA gyrase and efflux pump, confirming the desired dual mode of action. Molecular docking study disclosed that the introduced flavonoid moiety not only provides several additional interactions but also does not disturb the binding mode of the floxacin moiety. Our data also demonstrated that development of antifungals is possible from fluoroquinolones modified at C-7 position.

Abstract
Four sets of rationally designed chalcones were prepared for evaluation of their antiobesity, antioxidant and cytotoxicity activities. These sets include nine oleoyl chalcones as mimics of oleoyl estrone, three monohydroxy chalcones (chalcone ligands), Schiff base-derived chalcones and four copper as well as zinc complexes. Oleoyl chalcones 4d, 4e and particularly 6a as an isosteric isomer of oleoyl estrone, were as active as Orlistat on weight loss and related metabolic parameters using male SD rats in vivo. Chalcone ligands 10a-c and Schiff base-derived chalcones 11 and 14a,b were weakly antioxidants, while, the copper and zinc complexes 15a-d were good antioxidants with zinc chelates 15b,d being more active than their copper analogues 15a,cin vitro. Compounds 10c and 14a showed good cytotoxicity activities as Doxorubicin against PC3 cancer cell line in vitro, while, the copper complex 15c showed promising activity with IC₅₀ value of 5.95 μM. The estimated IC₅₀ value for Doxorubicin was 8.7 μM. Chalcones 14a,b are bifunctional probes for potential investigations in cancer diagnosis and radiotherapy by complexation with Gd(3+) or metal radioisotopes followed by posttranslation of Shiga toxin B-subunits that target globotriosyl ceramide expressing cancer cells.
