Identification of a Water-Soluble Indirubin Derivative as Potent Inhibitor of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor through Structural Modification of the Parent Natural Molecule.
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2017 June 23
Indirubins have been identified as potent ATP-competitive protein kinase inhibitors. Structural modifications in the 5- and 3'-position have been extensively investigated, but the impact of substituents in 5'-position is not equally well-studied. Here, we report the synthesis of new indirubin 3'- and 5'-derivatives in the search of water-soluble indirubins by introducing basic centers. Antiproliferative activity of all compounds in tumor cells was evaluated along with kinase inhibition of selected compounds. The results show the 3'-position to tolerate large substituents without compromising activity, whereas bulk and rigid substituents in 5'-position appear unfavorable. Screening molecular targets of water-soluble 3'-oxime ethers revealed 6ha as preferential inhibitor of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) in a panel of 22 protein kinases and in cells. Consistently, 6ha inhibited tumor cell growth in the NCI 60 cell line panel and induced apoptosis. The results indicate that the 5'-position provides limited space for chemical modifications and identify 6ha as a potent water-soluble indirubin-based IGF-1R inhibitor.
