Background: Many tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazole derivatives were considered as the most important class of heterocyclic compounds due to their biological applications. There are many drugs known in the market containing the thiazole moiety which is responsible for the high drug activity. Objective: This work aimed to produce novel heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazole, isoxazole, thiophene, chromeno[7,8-d]thiazole, and thiazolo[4,5-h]quinoline derivatives. The newly synthesized heterocyclic compounds were evaluated against anticancer cell lines followed by c-Met enzymatic activity and tyrosine kinases inhibition for the most active compounds. Methods: In this work, the 3-phenyl-2-thioxo-2,3,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazol-7(4H)-one (3) was synthesized through the reaction of cyclohexane-1,3-dione with phenyl isothiocyanate and elemental sulfur. Compound 3 showed interesting activity toward some chemical reagents producing new heterocyclic compounds that can’t be obtained through another way. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated towards the six cancer cell lines. The most active compounds were selected and tested toward c-Met enzyme by taking foretinib as the positive control. Also, the inhibitions toward the PC-3 cell line using the reference SGI-1776 were measured. Finally, the inhibitions towards the five tyrosine kinases were also tested. Results: The synthesized quinoline and chromene derivatives were evaluated toward c-Met enzyme using foretinib as the positive control the obtained results showed that twelve compounds exhibited IC50 values less than 1.30 nM. On the other hand, sixteen compounds showed higher inhibitions than the reference SGI-1776 (IC50 4.86 nM) toward the PC-3 cell line. Conclusion: Novel, heterocyclic compounds were synthesized with a high impact of biological activities. All synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-proliferative effect and most of them revealed high potent effects. In addition, the c-Met and prostate cancer cell line PC-3 inhibitions for the most active compounds showed that these compounds exhibited high inhibitions. Anti-proliferative activity of selected compounds toward cancer cell lines classified according to the disease showed that most compounds exhibited high inhibitions.

Background: Recently tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiazole derivatives acquired a special attention due to their wide range of pharmacological activities especially the therapeutic activities. Through the market it was found that many pharmacological drugs containing the thiazole nucleus were known. Objective: This work aimed to synthesize target molecules not only possess anti-tumor activities but also kinase inhibitors. The target molecules were obtained starting from the arylhydrazonocyclohexan-1,3-dione followed by their heterocyclization reactions to produce anticancer target molecules. Methods: The arylhydrazone derivatives 3a-c underwent different heterocyclization reactions to produce thiophene, thiazole, pyrazole and 1,2,4-triazine derivatives. The anti-proliferative activity of twenty six compounds among the synthesized compounds toward the six cancer cell lines namely A549, H460, HT-29, MKN-45, U87MG, and SMMC-7721 was studied. Results: Anti-proliferative evaluations, tyrosine and Pim-1 kinase inhibitions were perform for most of the synthesized compounds where the varieties of substituent through the aryl ring and the thiophene moiety afforded compounds with high activities. Conclusion: The compounds with high anti-proliferative activity towards the cancer cell lines showed that compounds 3b, 3c, 5e, 5f, 8c, 9c, 11c, 12c, 14e, 14f and 16c were the most cytotoxic compounds. Further tests of the latter compounds toward the five tyrosine kinases c-Kit, Flt-3, VEGFR-2, EGFR, and PDGFR and Pim-1 kinase showed that compounds 3c, 5e, 5f, 8c, 9c, 12c, 14e, 14f and 16c were the most potent of the tested compounds toward the five tyrosine kinases and compounds 6d, 11a, 20b and 21e were of the highest inhibitions towards Pim-1 kinase.

Background: Benzo[d]imidazoles are highly biologically active, in addition, they are considered as a class of heterocyclic compounds with many pharmaceutical applications. Objective: We are aiming in this work to synthesize target molecules not only possess anti-tumor activities but also kinase inhibitors. The target molecules were obtained starting from the benzo[d]imidazole derivatives followed by their heterocyclization reactions to produce anticancer target molecules. Methods: The 1-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)propan-2-one (3) and the ethyl 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acetate (16) were used as the key starting material which reacted with salicylaldehyde to give the corresponding benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]quinoline derivatives. On the other hand, both of them were reacted with different reagents to give thiophene, pyran and benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives. The synthesized compounds were evaluated against the six cancer cell lines A549, HT-29, MKN-45, U87MG, and SMMC7721 and H460 together with inhibitions toward tyrosine kinases, c-Met kinase and prostate cancer cell line PC-3 were recorded using the standard MTT assay in vitro, with foretinib as the positive control. Results: Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited high inhibitions toward the tested cancer cell lines. In addition, tyrosine and Pim1 kinases inhibitions were performed for the most active compounds where variation of substituent through the aryl ring and heterocyclic ring afforded compounds with high activities. Our analysis showed that there is a strong correlation between structure of compound and substituents of target molecules. Conclusion: Our present research proved that the synthesized heterocyclic compounds with varieties of substituents has a strong impact through the activity of compounds. The evaluations through different cell lines and tyrosine kinases indicated that the compounds were excellent candidates as anticancer agents. This could encourage doing further research within this field for the building of compounds with high inhibitions.

The discovery for effective combinations of anticancer drugs for treatment for breast cancer is the actual problem in the experimental chemotherapy. In this paper we conducted a study of antitumor effect of the combination of sunitinib and bortezomib against MDA-MB-231 and SKBR-3 breast cancer cell lines in vitro. We found that bortezomib in non-toxic concentrations can potentiate the antitumor activity of sunitinib. MDA-MB-231 cell line has showed great sensitivity to the combination of bortezomib and sunitinib in vitro. Bortezomib and sunitinib caused reduced expression of receptor tyrosine kinases VEGFR1, VEGFR2, PDGFRa, PDGFRß and c-Kit on HER2- and HER2+ breast cancer cell lines

Background: The importance of inhibiting the kinases of the DDR pathway for radiosensitizing cancer cells is well established. Cancer cells exploit these kinases for their survival, which leads to the development of resistance towards DNA damaging therapeutics. Objective: In this article, the focus is on targeting the key mediator of the DDR pathway, the ATM kinase. A new set of quinoline-3-carboxamides, as potential inhibitors of ATM, is reported. Methods: Quinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized and cytotoxicity assay was performed to analyze the effect of molecules on different cancer cell lines like HCT116, MDA-MB-468, and MDA-MB-231. Results: Three of the synthesized compounds showed promising cytotoxicity towards a selected set of cancer cell lines. Western Blot analysis was also performed by pre-treating the cells with quercetin, a known ATM upregulator, by causing DNA double-strand breaks. SAR studies suggested the importance of the electron-donating nature of the R group for the molecule to be toxic. Finally, Western-Blot analysis confirmed the down-regulation of ATM in the cells. Additionally, the PTEN negative cell line, MDA-MB-468, was more sensitive towards the compounds in comparison with the PTEN positive cell line, MDA-MB-231. Cytotoxicity studies against 293T cells showed that the compounds were at least three times less toxic when compared with HCT116. Conclusion: In conclusion, these experiments will lay the groundwork for the evolution of potent and selective ATM inhibitors for the radio- and chemo-sensitization of cancer cells.
