    Abstract:
    In search of new compounds with strong antiproliferative activity and simple molecular structure, we designed a novel series of agents based on the 2-amino-3-alkoxycarbonyl/cyano-5-arylethylthiophene scaffold. The presence of the ethyl spacer between the 2',5'-dimethoxyphenyl and the 5-position of the thiophene ring, as well as the number and location of methoxy substitutents on the phenyl ring, played a profound role in affecting the antiproliferative activity. Among the synthesized compounds, we identified the 2-amino-3-cyano-[2-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl] thiophene 2c as the most promising derivative against a wide panel of cancer cell lines (IC50=17-130 nM). The antiproliferative activity of this compound appears to correlate well with its ability to inhibit tubulin assembly and the binding of colchicine to tubulin. Moreover 2c, as determined by flow cytometry, strongly induced arrest in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, and annexin-V and propidium iodide staining indicate that cell death proceeds through an apoptotic mechanism that follows the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway.
