Yadav AK, Maharjan Shrestha R, Yadav PN. Anticancer mechanism of coumarin-based derivatives. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 267:116179. [PMID: 38340509 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116179] [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: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
The structural motif of coumarins is related with various biological activities and pharmacological properties. Both natural coumarin extracted from various plants or a new coumarin derivative synthesized by modification of the basic structure of coumarin, in vitro experiments showed that coumarins are a promising class of anti-tumor agents with high selectivity. Cancer is a complex and multifaceted group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled and abnormal growth of cells in the body. This review focuses on the anticancer mechanism of various coumarins synthesized and isolated in more than a decade. Isopentenyloxycoumarins inhibit angiogenesis by reducing CCl2 chemokine levels. Ferulin C is a potent colchicine-binding agent that destabilizes microtubules, exhibiting antiproliferative and anti-metastatic effects in breast cancer cells through PAK1 and PAK2-mediated signaling. Trimers of triphenylethylene-coumarin hybrids demonstrated significant proliferation inhibition in HeLa, A549, K562, and MCF-7 cell lines. Platinum(IV) complexes with 4-hydroxycoumarin have the potential for high genotoxicity against tumor cells, inducing apoptosis in SKOV-3 cells by up-regulating caspase 3 and caspase 9 expression. Derivatives of 3-benzyl coumarin seco-B-ring induce apoptosis, mediated through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Sesquiterpene coumarins inhibit the efflux pump of multidrug resistance-associated protein. Coumarin imidazolyl derivatives inhibit the aromatase enzyme, a major contributor to estrogen overproduction in estrogen-dependent breast cancer.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive form of cancer with a poor prognosis, partly due to 'austerity', a phenomenon of tolerance to nutrient deprivation and survival in its hypovascular tumor microenvironment. Anti-austerity agents which preferentially diminish the survival of cancer cells under nutrition starvation is regarded as new generation anti-cancer agents. This study investigated the potential of Piper longum constituents as anti-austerity agents. The ethanolic extract of Piper longum was found to have preferential cytotoxicity towards PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells in a nutrient-deprived medium (NDM). Further investigation led to the identification of pipernonaline (3) as the lead compound with the strongest anti-austerity activity, inducing cell death and inhibiting migration in a normal nutrient medium, as well as strongly inhibiting the Akt/mTOR/autophagy pathway. Therefore, pipernonaline (3) holds promise as a novel antiausterity agent for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Herein, we report the design and synthesis of novel 7-aza-coumarine-3-carboxamides via scaffold-hopping strategy and evaluation of their in vitro anticancer activity. Additionally, the improved non-catalytic synthesis of 7-azacoumarin-3-carboxylic acid is reported, which features water as the reaction medium and provides a convenient alternative to the known methods. The anticancer activity of the most potent 7-aza-coumarine-3-carboxamides against the HuTu 80 cell line is equal to that of reference Doxorubicin, while the selectivity towards the normal cell line is 9-14 fold higher.

Abstract
An n-hexane extract of Callistemon subulatus was found to exhibit potent cytotoxicity against PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells, preferentially under nutrition starvation conditions, with a PC50 value of 6.2 µg/mL. Phytochemical investigation of this bioactive extract resulted in the isolation of fifteen compounds (1–15), including a new compound, subulatone A (–). The structure of compound 1 was elucidated using HRFABMS and NMR spectroscopic analyses. The isolated compounds were tested for their preferential cytotoxicity against the PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cell line, using an anti-austerity strategy. Among these, myrtucommulone A (2) showed highly potent preferential cytotoxicity, with a PC50 value of 0.28 µM. Myrtucommulone A (2) was found to alter PANC-1 cell morphology, inhibit cell migration, and downregulate the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and autophagy signaling pathways in nutrient-deprived media, leading to cancer cell death. Therefore, myrtucommulone A (2) is a lead compound for anticancer drug development based on an anti-austerity strategy.

Abstract
Pipernonaline (1), one of the components of the spice pepper, preferentially reduced the survival of human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells under nutrient-deprived conditions witha PC50 value of 7.2 μM, suggesting that1couldpotentially lead to the development ofnew anticanceragents basedon theanti-austerity strategy. We have synthesized a total of 31 pipernonaline derivatives, revealing clear structure-activity relationships. Compound 9, which showed the strongest preferential cytotoxicity among synthesized derivatives, inhibited Akt activation and cancer cell migration, making it an extremely promising candidate compound for new pancreatic cancer agents based on the anti-austerity strategy.

Abstract
Pancreatic carcinoma still represents one of the most lethal malignant diseases in the world although some progress has been made in treating the disease in the past decades. Current multi-agent treatment options have improved the overall survival of patients, however, more effective treatment strategies are still needed. In this paper we have characterized the anticancer potential of coumarin-palladium(II) complex against pancreatic carcinoma cells. Cells viability, colony formation and migratory potential of pancreatic carcinoma cells were assessed in vitro, followed by evaluation of apoptosis induction and in vivo testing on zebrafish. Presented results showed remarkable reduction in pancreatic carcinoma cells growth both in vitro and in vivo, being effective at micromolar concentrations (0.5 μM). Treatments induced apoptosis, increased BAX/BCL-2 ratio and suppressed the expression of SOX9 and SOX18, genes shown to be significantly up-regulated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Importantly, treatments of the zebrafish-pancreatic adenocarcinoma xenografts resulted in significant reduction in tumor mass, without provoking any adverse toxic effects including hepatotoxicity. Presented results indicate the great potential of the tested compound and the perspective of its further development towards pancreatic cancer therapy.

Abstract
The compatibility of photochemistry with solid-phase peptide synthesis is demonstrated via photochemical hydroalkylation to form C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds between on-resin Giese acceptors and redox-active esters. Both iridium-based photocatalysts and Hantszch ester led to high yields, with final reaction conditions producing full conversions within 30 min under ambient conditions. The chemistry is compatible with a broad range of peptide side chains, redox-active esters, and resin. These conditions represent the first example of photochemical peptide modifications on resin.

Abstract
Cancers of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are often life-threatening malignancies, which can be a severe burden to the health care system. Globally, the mortality rate from gastrointestinal tumors has been increasing due to the lack of adequate diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic measures to combat these tumors. Coumarin is a natural product with remarkable antitumor activity, and it is widely found in various natural plant sources. Researchers have explored coumarin and its related derivatives to investigate their antitumor activity, and the potential molecular mechanisms involved. These mechanisms include hormone antagonists, alkylating agents, inhibitors of angiogenesis, inhibitors of topoisomerase, inducers of apoptosis, agents with antimitotic activity, telomerase inhibitors, inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase, as well as other potential mechanisms. Consequently, drug design and discovery scientists and medicinal chemists have collaborated to identify new coumarin-related agents in order to produce more effective antitumor drugs against GI cancers. Herein, we summarize the therapeutic effects of coumarin and its derivatives against GI cancer.

Abstract
In this study, eleven new 3- and 7-positions modified scopoletin derivatives (18a-k) were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated against human breast cancer cell lines. Most compounds showed improved antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells and weaker cytotoxicity on human breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A than lead compound 5. Among them, compound 18e exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 0.37 ± 0.05 μM). Particularly, 18e produced the highest levels of nitric oxide (NO) intracellularly, and its antiproliferation effect was attenuated by hemoglobin (an NO scavenger). Further pharmacological research showed that 18e blocked the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, downregulated the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt in MCF-7 cells and regulated the expressions of the apoptosis proteins to induce apoptosis. Moreover, 18e inhibited the growth of MCF-7 in vivo. Overall, 18e is a novel anticancer agent with the abilities of high concentration of NO releasing and the inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, and may be a promising agent against MCF-7 human breast cancer.

Abstract
The reactions of CuCl2·2H2O with chromone thiosemicarbazone ligands containing a -H or -CH3 substituent on terminal N yielded monometallic Cu(ii) complexes [Cu(HL1)Cl2] (1) and [Cu(HL2)Cl2] (2), whereas bimetallic Cu(ii) complexes [Cu(μ-Cl)(HL3)]2Cl2 (3), [Cu(μ-Cl)(HL4)]2Cl2 (4) and [Cu(μ-Cl)(L5)]2 (5) were obtained when a -C2H5, -C6H11 or -C6H5 substituent was present, respectively, in the ligands. The complexes were characterized using elemental analyses, UV-Vis, FT-IR, EPR, mass and TGA studies. The structures of neutral monometallic and dicationic bimetallic complexes were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and they exhibited a distorted square pyramidal geometry around Cu(ii) ions. The catecholase-mimicking activity of complexes 1-5 was examined spectrophotometrically, and the results revealed that all the complexes except 5 had the ability to oxidize 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBC) to 3,5-di-tert-butylquinone (3,5-DTBQ) under aerobic conditions with moderate turnover numbers. In order to find the possible complex-substrate intermediates, a mass spectrometry study was carried out for complexes 1-4 in the presence of 3,5-DTBC. The phosphatase-like activity of 1-5 was also investigated using 4-nitrophenylphosphate (4-NPP) as a model substrate. All the complexes exhibited excellent phosphatase activity in DMF-H2O medium. The complexes displayed significant biomolecular interactions and antioxidant potential. Complex 3 showed good interaction with apoptotic CASP3 protein, VEGFR2 and PIM-1 kinase receptors as revealed by a molecular docking study. Complexes (3-5) exhibited promising cytotoxicity against HeLa-cervical cancer cells with IC50 values of 2.24 (3), 2.25 (4) and 3.77 (5) μM, respectively, and showed a two-fold higher activity than cisplatin. The active complex 3 showed complete inhibition of colony formation at 10 μM concentration. In addition, the acridine orange (AO)/ethidium bromide (EB) staining and real-time live cell imaging results confirmed that complex 3 induced cell death in HeLa cells.

Abstract
Methods are reported for the efficient assembly of a series of phenol-derived propiolates, including the parent system 56, and their Au(I)-catalyzed cyclization (intramolecular hydroarylation) to give the corresponding coumarins (e.g., 1). Simple syntheses of natural products such as ayapin (144) and scoparone (145) have been realized by such means, and the first of these subject to single-crystal X-ray analysis. A related process is described for the conversion of propargyl ethers such as 156 into the isomeric 2H-chromene precocene I (159), a naturally occurring inhibitor of juvenile hormone biosynthesis.

Abstract
Coumarins are a class of compound with benzopyrone as their basic structure. Due to abundant sources, easy synthesis, and various pharmacological activities, coumarins have attracted extensive attention from researchers. In particular, coumarins have very significant anti-tumor abilities and a variety of anti-tumor mechanisms, including inhibition of carbonic anhydrase, targeting PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways, inducing cell apoptosis protein activation, inhibition of tumor multidrug resistance, inhibition of microtubule polymerization, regulating the reactive oxygen species, and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, etc. This review focuses on the mechanisms and the research progress of coumarins against cancers in recent years.

Abstract
The natural product (+)-grandifloracin is a potent "anti-austerity" agent, able to suppress the ability of various pancreatic cancer cell lines to tolerate conditions of nutrient deprivation. Such anti-austerity agents represent a promising approach to cancer chemotherapy. Here we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of racemic analogues of grandifloracin bearing diverse sidechains, of which two show enhanced potency in comparison with the natural product. Additionally, several unexpected by-products containing modifications of the grandifloracin core were isolated, identified and similarly evaluated for biological activity.
