Myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1) and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) proteins are promising targets for cancer therapy. Here, we investigated the structure–activity relationships (SARs) and performed molecular docking analysis of renieramycin T (RT) and its analogues and identified the critical functional groups of Mcl-1 targeting. RT have a potent anti-cancer activity against several lung cancer cells and drug-resistant primary cancer cells. RT mediated apoptosis through Mcl-1 suppression and it also reduced the level of Bcl-2 in primary cells. For SAR study, five analogues of RT were synthesized and tested for their anti-cancer and Mcl-1- and Bcl-2-targeting effects. Only two of them (TM-(–)-18 and TM-(–)-4a) exerted anti-cancer activities with the loss of Mcl-1 and partly reduced Bcl-2, while the other analogues had no such effects. Specific cyanide and benzene ring parts of RT’s structure were identified to be critical for its Mcl-1-targeting activity. Computational molecular docking indicated that RT, TM-(–)-18, and TM-(–)-4a bound to Mcl-1 with high affinity, whereas TM-(–)-45, a compound with a benzene ring but no cyanide for comparison, showed the lowest binding affinity. As Mcl-1 helps cancer cells evading apoptosis, these data encourage further development of RT compounds as well as the design of novel drugs for treating Mcl-1-driven cancers.
