The activation of Homo sapiens Casein lysing protease P (HsClpP) by a chemical or genetic strategy has been proved to be new potential therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, limited efficacy achieved with classic agonist imipridone ONC201. Here, novel class HsClpP agonists is designed and synthesized using ring-opening based on the lead compound 1 reported our previous study. Among these scaffold agonists, 7k exhibited remarkably enhanced proteolytic activity (EC50 = 0.79 ± 0.03...
Homo sapiens caseinolytic protease P (HsClpP) activation is a promising strategy for colon cancer treatment. In this study, CCG1423 was identified as selective activator of HsClpP. After optimization, NCA029 emerged the most potent compound, with an EC50 0.2 μM against Molecular dynamics revealed that affinity YYW aromatic network crucial its selectivity toward Furthermore, displayed favorable pharmacokinetics and safety profiles significantly inhibited tumor growth in HCT116 xenografts,...
Chemical agonism of human caseinolytic protease P (HsClpP) is increasingly being recognized as a potential anticancer strategy due to its critical role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. We unveil the discovery 5-(piperidin-4-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives novel class HsClpP agonists and demonstrate for first time application treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (Pace, A.; Pierro, P. The new era 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Org. Biomol. Chem. 2009, 7 (21), 4337-4348). Compound SL44...
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) is an attractive target for cancer therapy. Based on its crystal structure, we designed and synthesized a focused compound library containing the structural moiety of 1,4-benzoquinone, which possesses reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction capacity. Compound 3s with naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-dione scaffold exhibited inhibitory activity against hDHODH. Further optimization led to compounds 11k 11l, inhibited hDHODH IC50 values 9 4.5 nM,...
Homo sapiens caseinolytic protease P (HsClpP) plays an important role in maintaining mitochondrial proteostasis. Activating HsClpP has been proved to be a potential strategy for cancer therapy. In this paper, novel class of agonists is designed and synthesized using position shift based on the imipridone ONC201. Among these newly derivatives, compound 16z exhibits remarkably enhanced antitumor activity (IC50 = 0.04 μM against HCT116 cells). It can improve thermal stability induce...
A large amount of evidence suggests that monocytes/macrophages infiltration is implicated in a variety inflammatory diseases including acute liver injury. Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) plays crucial role the process macrophages recruitment. We herein presented small-molecule library and feasible quick screening method evaluating potency inhibition chemotaxis RAW264.7 cells stimulated by MCP-1. Fifty-three small molecules were synthesized screened, four compounds (2g, 2h, 4f, 6h)...
Piperlongumine (PL) shows an inhibitory effect on tumor growth; however, lipophilicity has restricted its further applications. Nanotechnology provides effective method to overcome the poor water solubility of lipophilic drugs. Polymeric micelles with small particle size can passively target tumors by enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, thus improving their anti-tumor effects. In this study, improve activity PL, PL encapsulated polymeric (PL micelles) were prepared a solid...
