RESUMEN

Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) is overexpressed and/or overactivated in many human cancers and has been shown to play a critical role during oncogenesis. Despite the potential of Pin1 as a drug target, its successful targeting has proved to be challenging. We speculate that only blocking the enzymatic function of Pin1 with inhibitors may not be sufficient to lead to a total loss-of-function. Here, we report the discovery of P1D-34, a first-in-class and potent PROTAC degrader of Pin1, which induced Pin1 degradation with a DC50 value of 177 nM and exhibited potent degradation-dependent anti-proliferative activities in a panel of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines. In contrast, Pin1 inhibitor Sulfopin did not show activity. More significantly, P1D-34 could sensitize Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-199 in Bcl-2 inhibitor-resistant AML cells, highlighting the potential therapeutic value of targeted Pin1 degradation for Bcl-2 inhibitor-resistant AML treatment. Further mechanism study revealed that P1D-34 led to the up-regulation of ROS pathway and down-regulation of UPR pathway to induce cell DNA damage and apoptosis. Notably, we further demonstrated that treatment with the combination formula of glucose metabolism inhibitor 2-DG and P1D-34 led to a notable synergistic anti-proliferative effect, further expanding its applicability. These data clearly reveal the practicality and importance of PROTAC as a preliminary tool compound suitable for assessment of Pin1-dependent pharmacology and a promising strategy for AML treatment.

RESUMEN

The tumor suppressor p53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer and more than half of cancers contain p53 mutations. The development of novel and effective therapeutic strategies for p53 mutant cancer therapy is a big challenge and highly desirable. Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7), also known as HAUSP, is a deubiquitinating enzyme and proposed to stabilize the oncogenic E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 that promotes the proteosomal degradation of p53. Herein, we report the design and characterization of U7D-1 as the first selective USP7-degrading Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC). U7D-1 showed selective and effective USP7 degradation, and maintained potent cell growth inhibition in p53 mutant cancer cells, with USP7 inhibitor showing no activity. These data clearly demonstrated the practicality and importance of PROTAC as a preliminary chemical tool for investigating USP7 protein functions and a promising method for potential p53 mutant cancer therapy.

RESUMEN

A series of new steroidal pyridines have been synthesized through the based-promoted three-component reaction and preliminarily evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against different types of cancer cell lines. SARs studies showed that the heterocyclic rings attached to the 4-position of the pyridine ring were preferred over the phenyl rings for the activity. Among these compounds, the most potent compound exhibited good growth inhibition against all the tested cancer cells, especially for PC-3 cells with an IC50 value of 1.55 µM. Further mechanistic studies revealed that the most potent compound inhibited colony formation, migration and evasion of PC-3 cells in a concentration-dependent manner as well as induced apoptosis of PC-3 cells possibly through the mitochondria-related apoptotic pathways. Caspase-3/-9 and PARP were activated, finally leading to the apoptosis of PC-3 cells. For the androgen-sensitive (AR+) prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, the most potent compound was less potent than abiraterone with the IC50 value of 8.48 and 3.29 µM, respectively. The most potent compound could be used as a starting point for the development of new steroidal heterocycles with improved anticancer potency and selectivity. The synthesized steroidal pyridines contain the functional -OEt and CN groups, which could be used for further modifications for the construction of the steroid library.

RESUMEN

The synthesis of novel steroidal 3-cyano-2-aminopyridines using enaminonitrile and various primary amines was established under solvent-free condition. Structures of the new compounds were characterized by MS, 1H and 13C NMR data and the structure of 2-aminopyridine of the product 5b was further confirmed by X-ray analysis. The reaction mechanism was proposed on the basis of the key intermediate obtained. The adjacent amine and nitrile groups existed in the final products have the potential for late stage functionalization, which would provide efficient access to steroidal compound collections with structural diversity and complexity.

RESUMEN

Multicomponent assembly of steroidal dihydropyridinyl spirooxindoles from pregnenolone, isatins, malononitrile, and ammonium acetate is described, which involves the formation of two C-C bonds, two C-N bonds, and an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center in a single operation. MTT assays showed that some of these compounds had moderate to excellent cytotoxicity against the tested cancer cell lines and were more potent than 5-FU. Particularly, compound 5o represented excellent inhibitory effect toward EC-109 (IC50=0.3 µM), being about 33-fold more potent than 5-FU.

RESUMEN

An efficient and practical base-promoted cascade reaction has been developed to access steroidal polysubstituted anilines from simple precursors. The protocol reported herein achieved the formation of a benzene ring as well as three continuous C-C bonds in a single operation. The reaction mechanism was proposed on the basis of the key intermediate obtained. Besides, this method could be potentially employed for the synthesis of biphenyl compounds. The adjacent amine and nitrile groups existed in the final products have the potential for late stage functionalization, which would provide efficient access to steroidal compound collections with structural diversity and complexity.
