Abstract

Meme kanseri, beyin metastazı olasılığı en yüksek olan ikinci kanser türü olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu yüzden meme kanseriyle ilgili araştırmaların çoğu beyin metastatik meme kanserinin mortalitesine yöneliktir. Ancak bu kanser türüne özgü etkili bir tedavi veya antikanser tedavi yöntemi mevcut değildir. Bu nedenle, meme kanseri ilerlemesinin modüle edilmesinde çok önemli rol oynayan HDAC ve mTOR enzimlerini inhibe edecek etkili ve yeni nesil antikanser terapötik ilaçların ve/veya aktif farmasötik maddelerin geliştirilmesi artan bir taleptir. Bu çalışmada, mTOR ve HDAC enzimlerine karşı oldukça güçlü antikanser terapötik ilaçlar ve/veya aktif farmasötik maddeler olarak bir dizi prodigiosin ve 1,10-fenantrolin türevinin yapı-aktivite ilişkisi ve in silico modellemesi incelenmiştir. Doğal ürün Ps ile karşılaştırıldığında, bu ligandlardan 20 tanesi, özellikle 2a, 6b, 13 ve 13a, HDAC1 ve/veya mTOR enzimlerine karşı –9.4 ile –7.1 kcal/mol arasında değişen çok umut verici bağlanma enerjileri ve 225 ile 569 nM arasında değişen inhibisyon sabitleri sergilemiştir. Özellikle 2a, 5, 6b, 7b ve 13 her iki enzime karşı iki taraflı etkinlik (dual action) göstermiştir. İn silico modelleme çalışmalarından elde edilen bulgular, MD simülasyonları ve Lipinski'nin beş kuralına göre ADMET çalışmasıyla da desteklenmiş olup, meme kanseri beyin metastazına sahip hastalar için olağanüstü bir terapötik potansiyel sağlamaktadır.

Design and Structural Investigation of a Series of Prodigiosin and 1,10-Phenanthroline Derivatives as Novel and Highly Potent Anticancer Therapeutic Drugs or Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

Abstract

Breast cancer is considered as a leading cancer type with the secondary highest possibility of brain metastasis. Most research in breast cancer is currently directed into the mortality of brain metastatic breast cancer. However, there is no effective treatment or anticancer therapeutics specifically for this cancer type. Hence, development of effective and novel anticancer therapeutic drugs/APIs to inhibit HDAC and mTOR, playing very important role on modulating breast cancer progression is an increasing demand. In this study, the structure-activity relationship and in silico modeling of a series of prodigiosin and 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives as highly potent anticancer therapeutic drugs/APIs against mTOR and HDAC enzymes have been investigated. Compared to the natural product Ps, 20 of the highly potent ligands, especially 2a, 6b, 13 and 13a, have exhibited very promising binding energies ranging from –9.4 to –7.1 kcal/mol and inhibition constants ranging from 225 to 569 nM against HDAC1 and/or mTOR enzymes. Ligands 2a, 5, 6b, 7b and 13 in particular show effective dual action against both enzymes. The findings from the in silico modeling studies have also been supported with MD simulations and ADMET study with Lipinski’s rule of five, providing outstanding therapeutic potential for the breast cancer brain metastasis.
