Nearly all colorectal cancers (CRCs) and varied subsets of other cancers have somatic mutations leading to β-catenin stabilization and increased β-catenin/TCF transcriptional activity. Inhibition of stabilized β-catenin in CRC cell lines arrests their growth and highlights the potential of this mechanism for novel cancer therapeutics. We have pursued efforts to develop small molecules that inhibit β-catenin/TCF transcriptional activity. We used xanthothricin, a known β-catenin/TCF antagonist of microbial origin, as a lead compound to synthesize related analogues with drug-like features such as low molecular weight and good metabolic stability. We studied a panel of six candidate Wnt/β-catenin/Tcf- regulated genes and found that two of them (Axin2, Lgr5) were reproducibly activated (9-10 fold) in rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) following β-catenin stabilization by Wnt-3a ligand treatment. Two previously reported β-catenin/TCF antagonists (calphostin C, xanthothricin) and XAV939 (tankyrase antagonist) inhibited Wnt-activated genes in a dose-dependent fashion. We found that four of our compounds also potently inhibited Wnt-mediated activation in the panel of target genes. We investigated the mechanism of action for one of these (8c) and demonstrated these novel small molecules inhibit β-catenin transcriptional activity by degrading β-catenin via a proteasome-dependent, but GSK3β-, APC-, AXIN2- and βTrCP-independent, pathway. The data indicate the compounds act at the level of β-catenin to inhibit Wnt/β-catenin/TCF function and highlight a robust strategy for assessing the activity of β-catenin/TCF antagonists.
ISOLATION OF NEW CHLORINATED REGIOISOMERS OF MONO N-SUBSTITUTED URACIL DERIVATIVES AND SYNTHESIS OF 3-SUBSTITUTED 8-PHENYLPYRIMIDO-1,2,4-TRIAZINE-5,7(6H,8H)-DIONES

A variety of fervenulin type products, 3-substituted 8-phenylpyrimido-1,2,4-triazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones (18a-i), were synthesized by nitrosative or nitrative cyclization of the aldehyde hydrazones (17a-i) derived from 6-(1-methylhydrazino)-1-phenyluracil (16) with aliphatic as well as aromatic aldehydes.The compound (16) was prepared by the reaction of 6-chloro-1-phenyluracil (8) with methylhydrazine.In addition, not only the precursor of 16, 6-chloro-1-phenyluracil (8), but also other new chlorinated regioisomers of mono N-substituted pyrimidine (9) and uracil (14) were isolated and characterized by the reductive dechlorination of them.
