Based on the novel allosteric site of deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS), two series of 30 novel 5-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-2-phenylpyrimidin-4-amine derivatives as DHPS inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound8m, with the best DHPS inhibitory potency (IC50= 0.014 μM), exhibited excellent inhibition against melanoma cells, which was superior to that of GC7. Besides, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations further proved that compound8mwas tightly bound to the allosteric site of DHPS. Flow cytometric analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that compound8mcould inhibit the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. Furthermore, by western blot analysis, compound8meffectively activated caspase 3 and decreased the expressions of GP-100, tyrosinase, eIF5A2, MMP2, and MMP9. Moreover, both Transwell analysis and wound healing analysis showed that compound8mcould inhibit the invasion and migration of melanoma cells. In thein vivostudy, the tumor xenograft model showed that compound8meffectively inhibited melanoma development with low toxicity.

A silver-catalyzed [3+2+1] annulation of amidines with benzyl isocyanide toward 2,4-diaryl-1,3,5-triazines was developed. A variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical products were obtained in moderate to good yields. This work also features an oxidant-free approach to 2,4-disubstituted triazines.

Abstract The tankyrases are members of the PARP superfamily; they poly(ADP-ribosyl)ate their target proteins using NAD+ as a source of electrophilic ADP-ribosyl units. The three principal protein substrates of the tankyrases (TRF1, NuMA and axin) are involved in replication of cancer cells; thus inhibitors of the tankyrases may have anticancer activity. Using structure-based drug design and by analogy with known 3-arylisoquinolin-1-one and 2-arylquinazolin-4-one inhibitors, series of arylnaphthyridinones, arylpyridinopyrimidinones and their tetrahydro-derivatives were synthesised and evaluated in vitro. 7-Aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones, 3-aryl-2,6-naphthyridin-1-ones and 3-aryl-2,7-naphthyridin-1-ones were prepared by acid-catalysed cyclisation of the corresponding arylethynylpyridinenitriles or reaction of bromopyridinecarboxylic acids with β-diketones, followed by treatment with NH3. The 7-aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones were methylated at 1-N and reduced to 7-aryl-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones. Cu-catalysed reaction of benzamidines with bromopyridinecarboxylic acids furnished 2-arylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones. Condensation of benzamidines with methyl 1-benzyl-4-oxopiperidine-3-carboxylate and deprotection gave 2-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones, aza analogues of the known inhibitor XAV939. Introduction of the ring-N in the arylnaphthyridinones and the arylpyridopyrimidinones caused >1000-fold loss in activity, compared with their carbocyclic isoquinolinone and quinazolinone analogues. However, the 7-aryl-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones showed excellent inhibition of the tankyrases, with some examples having IC50 = 2 nM. One compound (7-(4-bromophenyl)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-one) showed 70-fold selectivity for inhibition of tankyrase-2 versus tankyrase-1. The mode of binding was explored through crystal structures of inhibitors in complex with tankyrase-2.
