A series of variously functionalized selenium-containing compounds were purposely synthesized and evaluated against a panel of cancer cell lines. Most of the compounds showed an interesting cytotoxicity profile with compound 5 showing a potent activity on MCF7 cells. The ethyl amino derivative 5 acts synergistically with cis-platin and inhibits the GST enzyme with a potency that well correlates with the cytotoxicity observed in MCF7 cells. A computational analysis suggests a possible binding mode on the GST enzyme. As the main outcome of the present study, the ethyl amino derivative 5 emerged as a valid lead compound for further, future developments.

Antiproliferative Agents

To discover new antiproliferative agents with high efficacy and selectivity, a new series of 1-aryl-3-{4-[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)thio]phenyl}urea derivatives (7a–7t) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against A549, HCT-116 and PC-3 cancer cell lines in vitro. Most of the target compounds demonstrated significant antiproliferative effects on all the selective cancer cell lines. Among them, the target compound, 1-[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-{4-{{[3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-2-yl]methyl}thio}phenyl}urea (7i) was identified to be the most active one against three cell lines, which was more potent than the positive control with an IC50 value of 1.53 ± 0.46, 1.11 ± 0.34 and 1.98 ± 1.27 μM, respectively. Further cellular mechanism studies confirmed that compound 7i could induce the apoptosis of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner and elucidated compound 7i arrests cell cycle at G1 phase by flow cytometry analysis. Herein, the studies suggested that the 1-aryl-3-{4-[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)thio]phenyl}urea skeleton might be regarded as new chemotypes for designing effective antiproliferative agents.

Within this work we describe the synthesis of versatile substituted 2-phenyl benzothiazole 3–10 and 2-phenylbenzimidazole 12–19 derivatives bearing amidino groups. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds were explored for their antiproliferative activity in vitro on three cancer cell lines. Tested compounds showed moderate to strong antiproliferative activity. Furthermore, the type of the attached amidino group on benzazole nuclei has the significant impact on the antiproliferative activity only within benzimidazole derivatives with 2-imidazolinyl substituted derivatives being more active in comparison to amidino substituted analogues. All obtained results revealed that this type of benzothiazole derivatives have a great potential for further optimization and development of more efficient potential antiproliferative agents.

Antiproliferative Agents

In the present work, a series of fluoro-substituted benzimidazole derivatives were designed and synthesized as antiproliferative agents. The antiproliferative activity of these compounds was investigated using MTT assay. Fluoro-substituted benzimidazole derivatives showed significant antiproliferative activity against all the tested cancer cell lines. All the derivatives were found to be less toxic as compared to methotrexate (positive control) in human cells, indicating selective and efficient antiproliferative activity of these benzimidazole derivatives. These findings suggest that compounds ORT14 and ORT15 among this series are most effective and have potential for detailed investigations.

In the present work, we report the synthesis of a series of 3-(substituted phenyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-2-(substituted-phenyl)ethyl)-N-methylthiophene-2-sulfonamide derivatives through Suzuki and Buchwald reaction. We have optimized methodology for targets from milligram to multi-gram scale. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 19F NMR, 13C NMR, LC-MS techniques and purity was further checked by HPLC. The compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro antiproliferative activity against MCF-7, HeLa, A-549 and Du-145 cancer cell lines by CCK-8 assay. The preliminary bioassay suggests that most of the compounds show antiproliferation with different degrees and 5-fluorouracil was used as positive control. Among these compounds 2d, 2g, 2i, 4e, 4h and 4k are most active compared to the standard. All the synthesized compounds show IC50 values from 1.82-9.52 µM in different cell lines. Amongst these, compounds 2d, 2g, 2i, 4e, 4h and 4k were most potent, with IC50 values ranging from 1.82-4.28 µM in different cell lines.

Antiproliferative Activities

A series of C-3 and C-28 MeON-neoglycosides of oleanolic acid were designed and synthesized by neoglycosylation as potential antiproliferative agents. Their cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro against five human cancer cell lines: human non-small cell lung cancer cell line (A549), human melanoma cell line (A375), human colon cancer cell line (HCT116), human liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2), human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Most of C-3 and C-28 MeON-neoglycosides of oleanolic acid exhibited notably inhibitory effects against the tested cancer cells and more sensitive to HepG2 cells than 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). Structure-activities relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that sugar types and the d/l configuration of sugars would significantly affect their antiproliferative activities of neoglycosides. Among them, compound 8a (28-N-methoxyaminooleanane-β-d-glucoside) exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activities against HepG2 cells with IC50 values of 2.1 µM. Further pharmacological experiments revealed that compound 8a could cause morphological changes and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase and induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells. These results suggested that neoglycosylation could provide a rapid strategy for the discovery of potential antiproliferative agents and their possible pharmacological mechanisms need more further research.

AbstractThromboembolic disorders are the second leading cause of death in breast cancer. Antiplatelet therapy combined with cancer therapy is a potential treatment strategy against cancer-associated thromboembolic disorders; however, the efficacy of such dual treatment has not been established. This study reports novel findings on the response of hormone-dependent breast cancer cell lines (MCF7/T47D) following 24 h treatment with Anastrozole, combined with Aspirin and Clopidogrel cocktail; and Atopaxar. Neutral red and lactate dehydrogenase assays were conducted to assess viability and cytotoxicity respectively. Flow cytometric Annexin-V/PI assay was used to assess the mode of cell death. Morphological alterations were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Statistical analysis was conducted using Statistica V13. Definitive outcomes were established with flow cytometric detection of phosphatidylserine exposure and propidium iodide staining, complemented with ultrastructural analysis. Results showed that a few cells were undergoing death mainly through secondary necrosis. Morphological features suggesting induced cell motility (pseudopodia/ruffled membranes) were observed in both cell lines; notably, T47D cells presented pronounced features than MCF7 cells. Overall, these findings suggest that such combined treatment may differentially promote cell survival, inducing a more aggressive breast cancer phenotype.

Breast tumors are typically heterogeneous and contain diverse subpopulations of tumor cells with differing phenotypic properties. Planar cultures of cancer cell lines are not viable models of investigation of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions during tumor development. This article presents an in vitro coculture-based 3-dimensional heterogeneous breast tumor model that can be used in drug resistance and drug delivery investigations. Breast cancer cell lines of different phenotypes (MDAMB231, MCF7, and ZR751) were cocultured in a rotating wall vessel bioreactor to form a large number of heterogeneous tumoroids in a single cell culture experiment. Cells in the rotating vessels were labeled with Cell Tracker fluorescent probes to allow for time course fluorescence microscopy to monitor cell aggregation. Histological sections of tumoroids were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, progesterone receptor, E-cadherin (E-cad), and proliferation marker ki67. In vitro tumoroids developed in this study recapture important features of the temporal-spatial organization of solid tumors, including the presence of necrotic areas at the center and higher levels of cell division at the tumor periphery. E-cad-positive MCF7 cells form larger tumoroids than E-cad-negative MDAMB231 cells. In heterogeneous tumors, the irregular surface roughness was mainly due to the presence of MDAMB231 cells, whereas MCF7 cells formed smooth surfaces. Moreover, when heterogeneous tumoroids were placed onto collagen gels, highly invasive MDAMB231 cell-rich surface regions produced extensions into the matrix, whereas poorly invasive MCF7 cells did not. The fact that one can form a large number of 1-mm tumoroids in 1 coculture attests to the potential use of this system at high-throughput investigations of cancer drug development and drug delivery into the tumor.
