Title: Novel [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives as potent antitubulin agents: Design, multicomponent synthesis and antiproliferative activities. Author: Yang F, Yu LZ, Diao PC, Jian XE, Zhou MF, Jiang CS, You WW, Ma WF, Zhao PL. Journal: Bioorg Chem; 2019 Nov; 92():103260. PubMed ID: 31525523. Abstract: As restricted CA-4 analogues, a novel series of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines possessing 3,4,5-trimethoxylphenyl groups has been achieved successfully via an efficient one-pot three-component reaction of 3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and aldehydes. Initial biological evaluation demonstrated some of target compounds displayed potent antitumor activity in vitro against three cancer cell lines. Among them, the most highly active analogue 26 inhibited the growth of HeLa, and A549 cell lines with IC50 values at 0.75, and 1.02 μM, respectively, indicating excellent selectivity over non-tumoural cell line HEK-293 (IC50 = 29.94 μM) which suggested that the target compounds might possess a high safety index. Moreover, cell cycle analysis illustrated that the analogue 26 significantly induced HeLa cells arrest in G2/M phase, meanwhile the compound could dramatically affect cell morphology and microtubule networks. In addition, compound 28 exhibited potent anti-tubulin activity with IC50 values of 9.90 μM, and molecular docking studies revealed the analogue occupied the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. These observations suggest that [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines represent a new class of tubulin polymerization inhibitors and well worth further investigation aiming to generate potential anticancer agents.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
