Evodiamine (Evo) is a quinazolinocarboline alkaloid found in Evodia rutaecarpa and exhibits moderate antiproliferative activity. Herein, we report using a scaffold-hopping approach to identify a series of novel polycyclic heterocyclic derivatives based on Evo as the topoisomerase I (Top1) inhibitor for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with limited treatment options. The most potent compound 7f inhibited cell growth in a human breast carcinoma cell line (MDA-MB-231) with an IC50 value of 0.36 μM. Further studies revealed that Top1 was the target of 7f, which directly induced irreversible Top1-DNA covalent complex formation or induced an oxidative DNA lesion through an indirect mechanism mediated by reactive oxygen species. More importantly, in vivo studies showed that 7f exhibited potent antitumor activity in a TNBC-patient-derived tumor xenograft model. These results suggest that compound 7f deserves further investigation as a promising candidate for the treatment of TNBC.

A virtual screening campaign aimed at finding structurally new compounds active at 5-HT6R provided a set of candidates. Among those, one structure, 4-(5-{[(2-{5-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl}ethyl)amino]methyl}furan-2-yl)phenol (1, 5-HT6R Ki = 91 nM), was selected as a hit for further optimization. As expected, the chemical scaffold of selected compound was significantly different from all the serotonin receptor ligands published to date. Synthetic efforts, supported by molecular modelling, provided 43 compounds representing different substitution patterns. The derivative 42, 4-(5-{[(2-{5-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl}ethyl)amino]methyl}furan-2-yl)phenol (5-HT6R Ki = 25, 5-HT2AR Ki = 32 nM), was selected as a lead and showed a good brain/plasma concentration profile, and it reversed phencyclidine-induced memory impairment. Considering the unique activity profile, the obtained series might be a good starting point for the development of a novel antipsychotic or antidepressant with pro-cognitive properties.
