Abstract

Introduction: Auranofin (AF) is a well-established, FDA-approved, antiarthritic gold drug that is currently being reevaluated for a variety of therapeutic indications through drug repurposing. AF has shown great promise as a potential anticancer agent and has been approved for a few clinical trials in cancer. The renewed interest in AF has led to extensive research into the design, preparation and biological evaluation of auranofin analogs, which may have an even better pharmacological profile than the parent drug.

Areas covered: This article reviews the strategies for chemical modification of the AF scaffold. Several auranofin analogs have been prepared and characterized for medical application in the field of cancer treatment over the last 20 years. Some emerging structure-function relationships are proposed and discussed.

Expert opinion: The chemical modification of the AF scaffold has been the subject of intense activity in recent years and this strategy has led to the preparation and evaluation of several AF analogs. The case of iodauranofin is a particularly promising example. The availability of homogeneous biological data for a group of AF derivatives allows some initial structure-function relationships to be proposed, which may inspire the design and synthesis of new and better AF analogs for cancer treatment.

设计具有抗癌潜力的乌拉诺芬类似物的策略。
简介:奥拉诺芬(Auranofin,AF)是一种获得美国食品及药物管理局批准的成熟的抗关节炎金药,目前正通过药物再利用的方式对其各种治疗适应症进行重新评估。作为一种潜在的抗癌药物,AF 已显示出巨大的前景,并已获准用于几项癌症临床试验。人们对 AF 的重新关注引发了对呋喃唑酮类似物的设计、制备和生物学评价的广泛研究,这些类似物的药理特性可能比母体药物更好:本文综述了对 AF 支架进行化学修饰的策略。在过去的 20 年中,已经制备了几种呋喃唑酮类似物并对其进行了表征,将其应用于癌症治疗领域。文章提出并讨论了一些新出现的结构-功能关系:近年来,对呋喃唑酮支架进行化学修饰一直是研究的热点,通过这种策略制备并评估了多种呋喃唑酮类似物。碘金诺芬就是一个特别有前景的例子。有了一组 AF 衍生物的同源生物学数据,就可以提出一些初步的结构-功能关系,这可能有助于设计和合成用于癌症治疗的新的和更好的 AF 类似物。
