Aim: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition and scavenging-free radicals are important targets in cancer treatment. Materials & methods: Sulfanylpyrimidines and triazolopyrimidines were synthesized and evaluated as anticancer and antioxidant COX-1/2 inhibitors. Results: Compound 7 showed the same growth inhibitory activity as 5-fluorouracil against MCF-7. Compound 6f displayed broad-spectrum anticancer activity against the four tested cancer cell lines. Compounds 5b, 6a, 6c, 6d and 8 were found to be more active antioxidants than trolox. Compounds 6a, 6c, 6f and 8 revealed high COX-2 inhibitory activity and selectivity, which was confirmed by docking studies. Conclusion: Compound 6f could be considered as promising anticancer and antioxidant structural lead with COX-2 inhibition that deserve further derivatization and investigation.

A new triterpenoid alkaloid, 16-deacetoxy-hyrcamine (1), together with six analogs, was isolated from the leaves and stems of Buxus sempervirens. Their structures were elucidated based on spectral methods and by comparison of the spectral data with those reported previously. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their growth inhibitory activity against human cell lines HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549,MCF-7, and SW480. Compounds 1 - 4 and 6 showed modest cytotoxic activity against A-549, MCF-7, and SW480.

The implementation of chemo- and bioinformatics tools is a crucial step in the design of structure-based drugs, enabling the identification of more specific and effective molecules against cancer without side effects. In this study, three new compounds were designed and synthesized with suitable absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADME-tox) properties and high affinity for the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) binding site by in silico methods, which correlated with the growth inhibitory activity tested in a cluster of cancer cell lines. Docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations accompanied by a molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area (MMGBSA) approach yielded the binding modes and energetic features of the proposed compounds on GPER. These in silico studies showed that the compounds reached the GPER binding site, establishing interactions with a phenylalanine cluster (F206, F208 and F278) required for GPER molecular recognition of its agonist and antagonist ligands. Finally, a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay showed growth inhibitory activity of compounds 4, 5 and 7 in three different cancer cell lines—MIA Paca-2, RCC4-VA and Hep G2—at micromolar concentrations. These new molecules with specific chemical modifications of the GPER pharmacophore open up the possibility of generating new compounds capable of reaching the GPER binding site with potential growth inhibitory activities against nonconventional GPER cell models.

AbstractPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma (PPARG) is one of the three members of the PPAR family of transcription factors. Besides its roles in adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism, we recently demonstrated an association between PPARG and metastasis in prostate cancer. In this study a functional effect of PPARG on AKT serine/threonine kinase 3 (AKT3), which ultimately results in a more aggressive disease phenotype was identified. AKT3 has previously been shown to regulate PPARG co-activator 1 alpha (PGC1α) localisation and function through its action on chromosome maintenance region 1 (CRM1). AKT3 promotes PGC1α localisation to the nucleus through its inhibitory effects on CRM1, a known nuclear export protein. Collectively our results demonstrate how PPARG over-expression drives an increase in AKT3 levels, which in turn has the downstream effect of increasing PGC1α localisation within the nucleus, driving mitochondrial biogenesis. Furthermore, this increase in mitochondrial mass provides higher energetic output in the form of elevated ATP levels which may fuel the progression of the tumour cell through epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ultimately metastasis.
