NUAK, the member of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) family of protein kinases, is phosphorylated and activated by the LKB1 (liver kinase B1) tumor suppressor protein kinase. Recent work has indicated that NUAK1 is a key component of the antioxidant stress response pathway, and the inhibition of NUAK1 will suppress the growth and survival of colorectal tumors. As a promising target for anticancer drugs, few inhibitors of NUAK were developed. With this goal in mind, based on NUAK inhibitor WZ4003, a series of derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity. Compound 9q, a derivative of WZ4003 by removing a methoxy group, was found to be the most potential one with stronger inhibitory against NUAK1/2 enzyme activity, tumor cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis of tumor cells. By in vivo efficacy evaluations of colorectal SW480 xenografts, 9q suppresses tumor growth more effectively with an excellent safety profile in vivo and is therefore seen as a suitable candidate for further investigation.

To develop novel simultaneous inhibition of PLK1 and BRD4 bromodomain by a single molecule, three series of novel pteridinone derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their biological activity. Most compounds exhibited moderate to excellent cytotoxic activity against A549, HCT116, PC-3 and MCF-7 cell lines. The most promising compound III4 showed high antiproliferative effects on four cell lines with IC50 values of 1.27 μM, 1.36 μM, 3.85 μM and 4.06 μM, respectively. The enzymatic assay identified III4 as a potent PLK1 and BRD4 dual inhibitor with % inhibition values of 96.6 and 59.1, respectively. Furthermore, to clarify the anticancer mechanism of the target compounds, explorations in the bioactivity were conducted. The results showed that compound III4 obviously inhibited the proliferation of HCT-116 cell lines, induced a great decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential leading to apoptosis of cancer cells, suppressed the migration of tumor cells, and arrested the S phase of HCT116 cells.
