RESUMO

Imipridones, including ONC201, ONC206 and ONC212 (which are emblematic members of this class of compounds developed by Oncoceutics) constitute a novel class of anticancer agents, with promising results in clinical trials. With the aim of increasing the ROS (reactive oxygen species) responsivity of the synthesized molecules, a set of novel ferrocene-imipridone hybrids were designed and synthesized. Our strategy was motivated by the documented interplay between the imipridone-triggered activation of TRAIL (the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) and mitochondrial ClpP (Caseinolytic protease P) and the ROS-mediated effect of ferrocene-containing compounds. In order to obtain novel hybrids with multitarget characters, the ferrocene moiety was tethered to the imipridone scaffold through ethynylene and 1,2,3-triazolyl linkers by using Sonogashira coupling of Cu(I)- and Ru(II)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions. The biological activities of the new hybrids were examined by using in vitro cell viability assays on four malignant cell lines (PANC-1, A2058, EBC-1 and Fadu), along with colony formation assays on the most resistant PANC-1 cell line. Several hybrids caused a significantly greater drop in the cell viability compared to ONC201, and two of them completely overcame the resistance, with IC50 values comparable to those produced by ONC201. The two most potent hybrids, but not ONC201, induced apoptosis/necrosis in PANC-1 and A2058 cells after 24 h of treatment.

RESUMO

Inspired by the well-established clinical evidence about the interplay between apoptotic TRAIL (tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) mechanism and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative stress, a set of novel ONC201 hybrids containing the impiridone core and one or two differently positioned ferrocenylalkyl groups were synthesised in our present work. These two types of residues have been implicated in the aforementioned mechanisms associated with cytotoxic activity. A straightforward, primary amine-based synthetic approach was used allowing the introduction of a variety of N-substituents into the two opposite regions of the heterocyclic skeleton. Reference model compounds with benzyl and halogenated benzyl groups were also synthesised and tested. The in vitro assays of the novel impiridones on five malignant cell lines disclosed characteristic structure-activity relationship (SAR) featuring significant substituent-dependent activity and cell-selectivity. A possible contribution of ROS-mechanism to the cytotoxicity of the novel metallocenes was suggested by density functional theory (DFT)studies on simplified models. Accordingly, unlike the mono-ferrocenylalkyl-substituted products, the compounds containing two ferrocenylalkyl substituents in the opposite regions of the impiridone core display a much more pronounced long-term cytotoxic effect against A-2058 cell line than do the organic impiridones including ONC201 and ONC212. Furthermore, the prepared bis-metallocene derivatives also present substantial activity against COLO-205- and EBC-1 cell lines.
