Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel indole-pyrimidine hybrids bearing morpholine and thiomorpholine moieties.
European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2017 July 8
Based on our previous screening hit compound 1, a series of novel indole-pyrimidine hybrids possessing morpholine or thiomorpholine moiety were synthesized via an efficient one-pot multistep synthetic method. The antiproliferative activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro against four cancer cell lines including HeLa, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and HCT116. The results revealed that most compounds possessed moderate to excellent potency. The IC50 values of the most promising compound 15 are 0.29, 4.04, and 9.48 μM against MCF-7, HeLa, and HCT116 cell lines, respectively, which are 48.0, 4.9, and 1.8 folds more active than the lead compound 1. Moreover, fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis revealed that compound 14 showing the highest activity against HeLa (IC50 = 2.51 μM) displayed a significant effect on G2/M cell-cycle arrest in a concentration-dependent manner in HeLa cell line. In addition, representative nine active hybrids were evaluated for tubulin polymerization inhibitory activities, and compound 15 exhibited the most potent anti-tubulin activity showing 42% inhibition at 10 μM. These preliminary results encourage a further investigation on indole-pyrimidine hybrids for the development of potent anticancer agents that inhibit tubulin polymerization.
