Abstract
Hypoxia in tumors contributes to chemotherapy resistance, worsened by acidosis driven by carbonic anhydrases (hCA IX and XII). Targeting these enzymes can mitigate acidosis, thus enhancing tumor sensitivity to cytotoxic drugs. Herein, novel 4-(pyrazolyl)benzenesulfonamide ureas (SH7a-t) were developed and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against hCA IX and XII. They showed promising results (hCA IX: KI = 15.9-67.6 nM, hCA XII: KI = 16.7-65.7 nM). Particularly, SH7s demonstrated outstanding activity (KIs = 15.9 nM for hCA IX and 55.2 nM for hCA XII) and minimal off-target kinase inhibition over a panel of 258 kinases. In NCI anticancer screening, SH7s exhibited broad-spectrum activity with an effective growth inhibition full panel GI50 (MG-MID) value of 3.5 μM and a subpanel GI50 (MG-MID) range of 2.4-6.3 μM. Furthermore, SH7s enhanced the efficacy of Taxol and 5-fluorouracil in cotreatment regimens under hypoxic conditions in HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells, indicating its potential as a promising anticancer agent.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the multifaceted field of medicinal chemistry. Since its inception in 1959 as the Journal of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, it has evolved to become a cornerstone in the dissemination of research findings related to the design, synthesis, and development of therapeutic agents.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is recognized for its significant impact in the scientific community, as evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 7.3. This metric reflects the journal's influence and the importance of its content in shaping the future of drug discovery and development. The journal serves as a vital resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms of drug action and the optimization of therapeutic compounds.
