Twenty-five novel 2,4,6-trisubstituted triazines were synthesized and biologically evaluated. Most of the compounds synthesized showed good antiproliferative activity against HCT-116 and MCF-7. Compounds B18 and B19 showed the best antiproliferative activity. Further study showed B18 and B19 inhibited four phosphoinositide 3-kinase isoforms and mammalian target of rapamycin with good potency. These results demonstrate that 2,4,6-trisubstituted triazines are potentially useful phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors for the development of new anticancer drugs.

AbstractClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is known for its highly vascular phenotype which is associated with elevated expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF). Accordingly, VEGF has been an attractive target for antiangiogenic therapies in ccRCC. Two major strategies have hitherto been utilized for VEGF-targeted antiangiogenic therapies: targeting VEGF by antibodies, ligand traps or aptamers, and targeting the VEGF receptor signaling via antibodies or small-molecule tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In the present article we utilized two entirely different approaches: targeting mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway that is known to be involved in VEGF synthesis, and disruption of VEGF/Neuroplin-1 (NRP1) axis that is known to activate proangiogenic and pro-tumorigenic signaling in endothelial and tumor cells, respectively. Everolimus (E) and a small-molecule inhibitor EG00229 (G) were used for the inhibition of mTOR and the disruption of VEGF/NRP1 axis, respectively. We also exploited a liposomal formulation decorated with a proprietary tumor-targeting-peptide (TTP) to simultaneously deliver these two agents in a tumor-targeted manner. The TTP-liposomes encapsulating both Everolimus and EG00229 (EG-L) demonstrated higher in vitro and in vivo growth retardation than the single drug-loaded liposomes (E-L and G-L) in two different ccRCC models and led to a noticeable reduction in lung metastasis in vivo. In addition, EG-L displayed remarkable inhibition of tumor growth in a highly aggressive syngeneic immune-competent mouse model of ccRCC developed in Balb/c mice. Taken together, this study demonstrates an effective approach to achieve improved therapeutic outcome in ccRCC.

Immunsuppressiva sollen die Abstoßung des gespendeten Organs durch den Empfänger verhindern. Die Kenntnis der Wirkmechanismen der Immunsuppressiva sowie deren Nebenwirkungen und Interaktionen mit anderen Medikamenten ist Grundvoraussetzung für die Behandlung von transplantierten Patienten. Immunsuppression kann entweder durch eine Depletion, durch Blockierung der Aktivierung oder durch eine verminderte Proliferation von Lymphozyten erreicht werden. Immunsuppressiva umfassen sogenannte «small-molecule drugs», depletierende und nicht depletierende Antikörper, Fusionsproteine, intravenöse Immunglobuline und Glukokortikoide. «Small-molecule drugs» sind: Calcineurininhibitoren, Inhibitoren des «mammalian Target-of-Rapamycin», der Nukleotidsynthese sowie Azathioprin. Die Wirkmechanismen der am meisten verwendeten Immunsuppressiva werden in dieser Übersichtarbeit erklärt und ihre positiven und negativen Nebenwirkungen aufgezählt. Wirkung und Nebenwirkungen des Fusionsproteins Belatacept werden besonders behandelt. Interaktionen mit häufig verwendeten Medikamenten werden tabellarisch aufgelistet.

mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) is controlled by diverse signals (e.g. hormones, growth factors, nutrients and cellular energy status) and regulates a range of processes including anabolic metabolism, cell growth and cell division. We have studied the impact of inhibiting mTOR on protein synthesis in human cells. Partial inhibition of mTORC1 by rapamycin has only a limited impact on protein synthesis, but inhibiting mTOR kinase activity causes much greater inhibition of protein synthesis. Using a pulsed stable-isotope-labelling technique, we show that the rapamycin and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) kinase inhibitors have differential effects on the synthesis of specific proteins. In particular, the synthesis of proteins encoded by mRNAs that have a 5′-terminal pyrimidine tract is strongly inhibited by mTOR kinase inhibitors. Many of these mRNAs encode ribosomal proteins. mTORC1 also promotes the synthesis of rRNA, although the mechanisms involved remain to be clarified. We found that mTORC1 also regulates the processing of the precursors of rRNA. mTORC1 thus co-ordinates several steps in ribosome biogenesis.
