ABSTRACT

The optimization of compounds from the 3-amido-4-anilinoquinolines series of CSF-1R kinase inhibitors is described. The series has excellent activity and kinase selectivity. Excellent physical properties and rodent PK profiles were achieved through the introduction of cyclic amines at the quinoline 6-position. Compounds with good activity in a mouse PD model measuring inhibition of pCSF-1R were identified.

ABSTRACT

The tropical ginger compound, 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) possesses cancer chemopreventive properties in several models but its effects on breast cancer have not been fully evaluated. In this study, the effects of ACA on human breast carcinoma-derived MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell viability were assessed using trypan blue exclusion analysis. ACA significantly decreased cell viability in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with effective concentrations 10-50 microM. Apoptosis was confirmed by morphological examination of cells through light microscopy, 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride staining, and annexin V/Alexa Fluor 488 staining visualized using flow cytometry. ACA also increased protein expression of the activated form of caspase-3 in MDA-MB-231 cells. Addition of antioxidants N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, or trolox prevented the loss of viability caused by ACA using trypan blue uptake as a marker. These results suggest ACA may have potential anticancer effects against breast carcinoma cells by inducing apoptosis.

ABSTRACT

Naturally occurring coumarins (NOCs) are anti-carcinogenic in the mouse skin model. To characterize the chemopreventive potential of NOCs against breast cancer, we first examined their effects on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-DNA adduct formation in mouse mammary gland. We hypothesized that those NOCs that both inhibited cytochrome P450 1A1/1B1 and induced hepatic glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) would be the most effective in blocking DMBA-DNA adduct formation in mouse mammary gland. To address this hypothesis, simple coumarins (e.g. coumarin and limettin, which induced mouse hepatic GSTs but had little effect on P4501A1/1B1) and linear furanocoumarins (e.g. imperatorin and isopimpinellin, which induced hepatic GSTs and were potent inhibitors of P4501A1/1B1) were compared. Mice were pretreated with NOCs (150 mg/kg body wt, by gavage) prior to either a single dose of DMBA (50 microg) or multiple doses of DMBA (20 microg daily for 3 and 6 weeks). Mammary DMBA-DNA adduct formation was quantitated by the nuclease P1-enhanced 32P-postlabeling assay. With the single dose of DMBA, coumarin, limettin, imperatorin and isopimpinellin inhibited DMBA-DNA adduct formation by 50, 41, 79 and 88%, respectively. Coumarin, limettin and imperatorin blocked DMBA-DNA adduct formation by 36, 60, and 66% at 3 weeks, and by 0, 49 and 55% at 6 weeks of DMBA dosing, respectively. In a 6 week dose-response study of select NOCs and 7,8-benzoflavone (a potent P4501 inhibitor that had little effect on GSTs), DMBA-DNA adduct formation was inhibited by 0, 43 and 24% in the limettin groups; by 26, 26 and 69% in the isopimpinellin groups; and by 80, 96 and 97% in the 7,8- benzoflavone groups at 35, 70 and 150 mg/kg, respectively. Taken together, these results suggest that linear furanocoumarins had a greater inhibitory effect on DMBA-DNA adduct formation in mouse mammary glands compared with simple coumarins, and that the predominant effect may be P4501 inhibition.
