Discovery of 3-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives as potent smoothened inhibitors against colorectal carcinoma
Smoothened (SMO) in Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is intricately associated with the genesis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC), but SMO inhibitor Vismodegib lacks of therapeutic benefits. Based on the principles of preserving critical interactions and ring substitution, a series of 3-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound A11 exhibited significant inhibitory activity against SMOWT (IC50 = 0.27 ± 0.06 µM) and SMOD473H (IC50 = 0.84 ± 0.12 µM), respectively, while displayed negligible toxicity towards normal cells. Furthermore, A11 demonstrated superior antiproliferative activity against CRC cells compared to Vismodegib. In additions, A11 competitively bound to SMO and inhibit its downstream signaling pathways. Molecular modeling studies suggested that the triazolopyridine ring of A11 may contribute to the important interaction for binding to SMO. In sum, these results suggest that A11 deserves further investigation as a SMO inhibitor for CRC treatment.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
