RESUMEN

In our previous work, a series of 2-amino-3,4-dihydroquinazoline derivativesusing an electron acceptor group was reported to be potent T-type calcium channel blockers and exhibit strong cytotoxic effects against various cancerous cell lines. To investigate the role of the guanidine moiety in the 2-amino-3,4-dihydroquinazoline scaffold as a pharmacophore for dual biological activity, a new series of 2-thio-3,4-dihydroquniazoline derivatives using an electron donor group at the C2-position was synthesized and evaluated for T-type calcium channel blocking activity and cytotoxic effects against two human cancerous cell lines (lung cancer A549 and colon cancer HCT-116). Among them, compound 6g showed potent inhibition of Cav3.2 currents (83% inhibition) at 10 µM concentrations. The compound also exhibited IC50 values of 5.0 and 6.4 µM against A549 and HCT-116 cell lines, respectively, which are comparable to the parental lead compound KYS05090. These results indicate that the isothiourea moiety similar to the guanidine moiety of 2-amino-3,4-dihydroquinazoline derivatives may be an essential pharmacophore for the desired biological activities. Therefore, our preliminary work can provide the opportunity to expand a chemical repertoire to improve affinity and selectivity for T-type calcium channels.

RESUMEN

We previously reported that 4-(4-fluorobenzylcarbamoylmethyl)-3-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)-2-[3-(N,N-dimethylureido)-N'-methylpropylamino]-3,4-dihydroquinazoline (KCP10043F) can induce G1-phase arrest and synergistic cell death in combination with etoposide in lung cancer cells. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanism by which KCP10043F induces cell death in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Propidium iodide (PI) and annexin V staining revealed that KCP10043F-induced cytotoxicity was caused by apoptosis. KCP10043F induced a series of intracellular events: (1) downregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL and upregulation of Bax and cleaved Bid; (2) loss of mitochondrial membrane potential; (3) increase of cytochrome c release; (4) cleavage of procaspase-8, procaspase-9, procaspase-3, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). In addition, KCP10043F exhibited potent inhibitory effects on constitutive or interleukin-6 (IL-6)-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3) phosphorylation and STAT3-regulated genes including survivin, Mcl-1, and cyclin D1. Furthermore, STAT3 overexpression attenuated KCP10043F-induced apoptosis and the cleavage of caspase-9, caspase-3, and PARP. Docking analysis disclosed that KCP10043F could bind to a pocket in the SH2 domain of STAT3 and prevent STAT3 phosphorylation. The oral administration of KCP10043F decreased tumor growth in an A549 xenograft mouse model, as associated with the reduced phosphorylated STAT3, survivin, Mcl-1, and Bcl-2 expression and increased TUNEL staining and PARP cleavage in tumor tissues. Collectively, our data suggest that KCP10043F suppresses NSCLC cell growth through apoptosis induction via STAT3 inactivation.
