Abstract
Tyrosyl-DNA-phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) is a promising target for antitumor therapy; the use of TDP1 inhibitors with a topoisomerase 1 poison such as topotecan is a potential combination therapy. In this work, a novel series of 3,5-disubstituted thiazolidine-2,4-diones was synthesized and tested against TDP1. The screening revealed some active compounds with IC50 values less than 5 μM. Interestingly, compounds 20d and 21d were the most active, with IC50 values in the submicromolar concentration range. None of the compounds showed cytotoxicity against HCT-116 (colon carcinoma) and MRC-5 (human lung fibroblasts) cell lines in the 1-100 μM concentration range. Finally, this class of compounds did not sensitize cancer cells to the cytotoxic effect of topotecan.
