A series of eight novel phosphatidylcholines containing CA or 3-OMe-CA acids (3a-b, 5a-b, 9a-b, 10a-b) at sn-1 and/or sn-2 positions were synthesized and tested for their antiproliferative activity against selected cancer cell lines.

Two novel series of compounds based on the 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene molecular skeleton, characterized by the presence of a 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyanilino moiety and a cyano or an alkoxycarbonyl group at its 2- or 3-position, respectively, were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antiproliferative activity on a panel of cancer cell lines and for selected highly active compounds, inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and cell cycle effects. We have identified the 2-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyanilino)-3-cyano-6-methoxycarbonyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine derivative 3a and its 6-ethoxycarbonyl homologue 3b as new antiproliferative agents that inhibit cancer cell growth with IC50 values ranging from 1.1 to 4.7 μM against a panel of three cancer cell lines. Their interaction with tubulin at micromolar levels leads to the accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and to an apoptotic cell death. The cell apoptosis study found that compounds 3a and 3b were very effective in the induction of apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. These two derivatives did not induce cell death in normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, suggesting that they may be selective against cancer cells. Molecular docking studies confirmed that the inhibitory activity of these molecules on tubulin polymerization derived from binding to the colchicine site.

BACKGROUND: : Coumarin structures were widely employed in anti-cancer drug design. Herein we focused on the modifications of C4 and C6 positions on coumarin scaffold to get novel anti-cancer agents. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the current work was the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of 4, 6-coumarin derivatives to get novel anticancer agents. METHODS: Thirty-seven coumarin derivatives were designed and synthesized, the antiproliferative activity of the compounds were evaluated against human cancer cell lines and non-cancerous cells by MTT assay. The bioactivities and underling mechanisms of active molecules were studied and the ADMET characters were predicted. RESULTS: Among the compounds, 4-phydroxy phenol-6-pinacol borane coumarin (25) exhibited a promising anti-cancer activity to cancer cell lines in dose-dependent manner and the toxicity to normal cells was low. The mechanism of action was observed through inducing G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis which was further confirmed via western blot. In silico ADMET prediction revealed that compound 25 is a drug-like small molecule with a favorable safety profile. CONCLUSION: The findings in this work may give vital information for further development of 6-pinacol borane coumarin derivatives as novel anti-cancer agents.
