Abstract
A leading cause of death worldwide, breast cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in women. Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive subtype that lacks targeted therapies and requires novel therapeutic approaches in clinical practice to improve the overall survival. Theranostic agents that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in a single entity are promising strategies for personalized cancer management. Hybrid compounds combining biologically relevant moieties with different modes of action can enhance cytotoxicity and improve pharmacological properties. We focus on a hybrid containing coumarin, triazole, and [10]-gingerol, a compound with known antimetastatic potential in TNBC. The LSPN281 hybrid exhibited superior cytotoxic activity in a TNBC cell line in vitro compared to the individual coumarin and [10]-gingerol controls. Additionally, the hybrid shows enhanced cellular uptake and mitochondrial localization, suggesting its potential as a theranostic agent for TNBC.
期刊介绍:
ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is interested in receiving manuscripts that discuss various aspects of medicinal chemistry. The journal will publish studies that pertain to a broad range of subject matter, including compound design and optimization, biological evaluation, drug delivery, imaging agents, and pharmacology of both small and large bioactive molecules. Specific areas include but are not limited to:
Identification, synthesis, and optimization of lead biologically active molecules and drugs (small molecules and biologics)
Biological characterization of new molecular entities in the context of drug discovery
Computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification or SAR analysis of bioactive molecules, ligands and their targets, etc.
Novel and improved methodologies, including radiation biochemistry, with broad application to medicinal chemistry
Discovery technologies for biologically active molecules from both synthetic and natural (plant and other) sources
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies that address mechanisms underlying drug disposition and response
Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies used to enhance drug design and the translation of medicinal chemistry into the clinic
Mechanistic drug metabolism and regulation of metabolic enzyme gene expression
Chemistry patents relevant to the medicinal chemistry field.
