Background: Chemotherapy is one of the mainstays of cancer treatment, despite the serious side effects of the clinically available anticancer drugs. In recent years increasing attention has been directed towards novel agents with improved efficacy and selectivity. Compounds with chalcone backbone have been reported to possess various biological activities such as anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, etc. It was reported that aminomethylation of hydroxy chalcones to the corresponding Mannich bases increased their cytotoxicity. In this context, our interest has been focused on the design and synthesis of the so-called multi-target molecules, containing two or more pharmacophore fragments. Methods: A series of Mannich bases were synthesized by the reaction between 6-[3-(3,4,5- trimethoxyphenyl)-2-propenoyl]-2(3Н)-benzoxazolone, formaldehyde, and a secondary amine. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectra. The new Mannich bases were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against a panel of human tumor cell lines, including BV-173, SKW-3, K-562, HL-60, HD-MY-Z and MDA-MB-231. The effects of selected compounds on the cellular levels of glutathione (GSH) were determined. Results: The new compounds 4a-e exhibited concentration-dependent cytotoxic effects at micromolar concentrations in MTT-dye reduction assay against a panel of human tumor cell lines, similar to those of starting chalcone 3. The tested agents led to concentration - dependent depletion of cellular GSH levels, whereby the effects of the chalcone prototype 3 and its Mannich base-derivatives were comparable. Conclusion: The highest chemosensitivity to the tested compounds was observed in BV- 173followed by SKW-3 and HL-60 cell lines.

Anti Cancer

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a transcriptional regulator of a number of biological processes including cell differentiation, proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis, while cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a critical regulator of cell cycle progression. These proteins appear to play central roles in angiogenesis and cell survival and are widely implicated in tumor progression. In this study, we used the well-characterized US National Cancer Institute 60 (NCI60) human tumor cell lines to screen the in vitro anti-cancer activities of our novel small molecule derivatives (NSC765690 and NSC765599) of salicylanilide. Furthermore, we used the DTP-COMPARE algorithm and in silico drug target prediction to identify the potential molecular targets, and finally, we used molecular docking to assess the interaction between the compounds and prominent potential targets. We found that NSC765690 and NSC765599 exhibited an anti-proliferative effect against the 60 panels of NCI human cancer cell lines, and dose-dependent cytotoxic preference for NSCLC, melanoma, renal, and breast cancer cell lines. Protein–ligand interactions studies revealed that NSC765690 and NSC765599 were favored ligands for STAT3/CDK2/4/6. Moreover, cyclization of the salicylanilide core scaffold of NSC765690 mediated its higher anti-cancer activities and had greater potential to interact with STAT3/CDK2/4/6 than did NSC765599 with an open-ring structure. NSC765690 and NSC765599 met the required safety and criteria of a good drug candidate, and are thus worthy of further in-vitro and in-vivo investigations in tumor-bearing mice to assess their full therapeutic efficacy.

With the ligands 4-phenyl-1-(furan-2-carbaldehyde)thiosemicarbazone, HTSC1, (1), 4-phenyl-1- (5´-phenyl-furan-2-carbaldehyde)thiosemicarbazone, HTSC2 (2), o-methoxy-benzaldehydethiosemicarbazone, HTSC3 (3), and o-cyano-benzaldehydethiosemicarbazone, HTSC4 (4), the corresponding palladium(II) complexes, Pd(TSC1)2 (5), Pd(TSC2)2 (6), Pd(TSC3)2 (7), and Pd(TSC4)2 (8) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of Pd(TSC3)2 (7) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 7 shows a squareplanar geometry, where two deprotonated ligands are coordinated to the PdII center through the nitrogen and sulfur atoms in a trans arrangement. In vitro antitumor studies against different human tumor cell lines have revealed that the palladium(II) complexes 5- 8 are more cytotoxic (IC50 values in the range of 0.21 - 3.79 μM) than their corresponding ligands (1 - 4) (> 60 μM). These results indicate that the antiproliferative activity is enhanced when thiosemicarbazone ligands are coordinated to the metal. Among the studied palladium(II) complexes, 8 exhibits high antitumor activity on K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia cells with a low value of the inhibitory concentration (IC50 = 0.21 μM).

Size Heterogeneity

Spheroids are widely used in biology because they provide an in vitro 3-dimensional (3D) model to study proliferation, cell death, differentiation, and metabolism of cells in tumors and the response of tumors to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The methods of generating spheroids are limited by size heterogeneity, long cultivation time, or mechanical accessibility for higher throughput fashion. The authors present a rapid method to generate single spheroids in suspension culture in individual wells. A defined number of cells ranging from 1000 to 20,000 were seeded into wells of poly-HEMA-coated, 96-well, round-or conical-bottom plates in standard medium and centrifuged for 10 min at 1000 g. This procedure generates single spheroids in each well within a 24-h culture time with homogeneous sizes, morphologies, and stratification of proliferating cells in the rim and dying cells in the core region. Because a large number of tumor cell lines form only loose aggregates when cultured in 3D, the authors also performed a screen for medium additives to achieve a switch from aggregate to spheroid morphology. Small quantities of the basement membrane extract Matrigel, added to the culture medium prior to centrifugation, most effectively induced compact spheroid formation. The compact spheroid morphology is evident as early as 24 h after centrifugation in a true suspension culture. Twenty tumor cell lines of different lineages have been used to successfully generate compact, single spheroids with homogenous size in 96-well plates and are easily accessible for subsequent functional analysis.

e14544 Background: PV-10 (10% rose bengal disodium; 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2’,4’,5’,7’-tetraiodofluorescein) is a novel therapeutic agent previously shown to have potent anti-tumor activity following intratumoral injection in melanoma and refractory neuroblastoma, and currently is undergoing clinical testing as a single-agent for refractory metastatic neuroendocrine cancer (NCT02693067) and in combination with checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic melanoma (NCT02557321) and metastatic uveal melanoma (NCT00986661). Given the established clinical efficacy of PV-10 in adult melanoma and hepatic cancers via intratumoral injection, there is a need to evaluate the therapeutic potential of PV-10 in high-risk and refractory adult solid tumors via systemic administration. Our study aims to identify the clinical potential of systemically-delivered PV-10 by first generating prerequisite in vitro data for adult malignancies. Methods: Cytotoxicity assays were performed using the Alamar Blue assay to study the effects of PV-10 in vitro 96-hours post-treatment against a panel of adult solid tumor cell lines derived from breast (MCF-7, T-47D, MDA-MB-231), colorectal (HCT-116, LoVo, T-84), head and neck (CAL-27, Detroit-562, FaDu, UM-SCC-1), and testicular (NCC-IT, NTERA-2, TCAM-2) tissues. Light microscopy and Western blotting were used to investigate apoptosis induction and target modulation in tumor cells after PV-10 treatment. Results: In vitro results from our study demonstrate that PV-10 is cytotoxic at pharmacologically relevant concentrations across the indicated cell lines. Specifically, tumor cell lines originating from testicular tissues were highly sensitive to PV-10 treatment (Mean ± SD IC50: 37.5 ± 16.4 µM; n = 3) compared to breast (117.5 ± 71.0 µM; n = 3), colorectal (64.79 µM; n = 3), and head and neck (106.6 ± 29.2 µM; n = 4) cell lines. Western blot analyses showed dose- and time-dependent activation of pro-apoptotic protein markers in caspase-3 and PARP cleavage, indicating drug-induced apoptosis. Conclusions: This study provides the first pre-clinical results of PV-10 as a novel systemically-delivered therapeutic agent for a range of high-risk and refractory adult solid tumors. Data obtained from our in vitro experiments using a broad repertoire of cell lines that represent diverse molecular and phenotypic subtypes of solid tumors in adults can serve as prerequisite pre-clinical data to establish clinical testing in these populations.
