We describe the synthesis and characterization of a new class of oligomers built from a terphenyl-based amino acid. These oligomeric amides are of interest because the adoption of specific conformations could potentially be driven by the coordinated formation of inter-residue hydrogen bonds and aromatic interactions. Although high-resolution structural data have proven inaccessible, circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance studies suggest that the new oligomers fold concomitantly with discrete self-association in chloroform.

T–lymphokine-activated killer cell–originated protein kinase (TOPK) is a serine-threonine mitogen-activated protein kinase that is highly expressed in many types of human cancer. Due to its important role in cancer progression, TOPK is becoming an attractive target in chemotherapeutic drug design. In this study, a series of 1-phenyl phenanthridin-6(5H)-one derivatives have been identified as a novel chemical class of TOPK inhibitors. Some of them displayed very potent anti-cancer activity with IC50s less than 100 nM, superior than reference compound OTS964. The most potent compound, 9g suppressed the growth of cancer cells by apoptosis and specifically inhibited the activities of TOPK. Oral administration of 9g effectively suppressed tumor growth with TGI >79.7% in colorectal cancer xenograft models, demonstrating superior efficacy compared to OTS964. Pharmacokinetic studies reveal its good oral bioavailability. Our findings therefore show that 9g is a specific inhibitor of TOPK both in vitro and in vivo that may be further developed as a potential therapeutic agent against colorectal cancer.
