To explore the molecular mechanisms of BAY R3401, four types of novel photoaffinity probes bearing different secondary tags were synthesized. Their potency for glycogenolysis was evaluated in primary human liver HL-7702 cells and HepG2 cells. Probe 2d showed the best activity in primary human liver HL-7702 cells and HepG2 cells, with IC50 values of 4.45 μM and 28.49 μM, respectively. Likewise, probe 5d showed IC50 values of 6.46 μM in primary human liver HL-7702 cells and 15.29 μM in HepG2 cells, respectively. Photoaffinity labeling experiments were also performed and protein bands larger than 170 kDa were specifically tagged by probe 2d. The results suggest that the synthesized probe 2d might be a very promising tool for the isolation of the target proteins of BAY R3401.

Lysosomes have become a hot topic in tumor therapy; targeting the lysosome is therefore a promising strategy in cancer therapy. Based on our previous lysosome-targeted bio-imaging agent, homospermine-benzo[cd]indol-2(1H)-one conjugate (HBC), we further developed three novel series of polyamine- benzo[cd]indol-2(1H)-one conjugates. Among them, compound 15f showed potent inhibitory activity in hepatocellular carcinoma migration both in vitro and in vivo. Our study results showed that compound 15f entered the cancer cells via the polyamine transporter localized in the lysosomes and caused autophagy and apoptosis. The mechanism of action revealed that the crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis induced by 15f was mutually reinforcing patterns. Besides, 15f also targeted lysosomes and exhibited stronger green fluorescence than HBC, which indicated its potential as an imaging agent. To summarize, compound 15f could be used as a valuable dual-functional lead compound for future development against liver-cancer metastasis and lysosome imaging.
