From Celebrex to a Novel Class of Phosphoinositide-Dependent Kinase 1 (Pdk-1) Inhibitors for Androgen-Independent Prostate Caner FROM CELEBREX TO A NOVEL CLASS OF PHOSPHOINOSITIDE-DEPENDENT KINASE 1 (PDK-1) INHIBITORS FOR ANDROGEN-INDEPENDENT PROSTATE CANER DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jiuxiang Zhu, M.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Ching-Shih Chen, Advisor Professor Robert Brueggemeier Advisor Professor Pui-Kai (Tom) Li Graduate Program in Pharmacy Professor Matthew D. Ringel ABSTRACT Celebrex, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor), was reported to induce apoptosis in the prostate cancer cell line PC-3 at 50µM. Early research from our laboratory demonstrated that this apoptotic inducing effect was independent of its COX-2 inhibitory activity. Further investigation showed that PDK-1 was a major protein targeted by celebrex in PC-3 cells to induce apoptosis. However, celebrex was very weak in inhibiting PDK-1 with IC50 of 48µM. To improve its potency, two series of analogs were designed and synthesized. In the first series of 24 compounds, the 5-position methylphenyl moiety of celebrex was replaced by various aromatic ring systems to explore the optimal hydrophobic group. OSU02067 (IC50=9µM) with phenanthrene at the 5-position was the best inhibitor among this series and was selected as the lead compound for further modification. Enzyme kinetics study of PDK-1 inhibition by celebrex indicated that it competed with ATP for binding. Docking of OSU02067 into the ATP binding domain of PDK-1 showed that the sulfonamide moiety hydrogen bonded to hinge region residue Ala162. Considering the importance of H-bonding, the sulfonamide moiety was substituted with various heteroatom-rich functional groups in the 2nd series of 12 compounds. OSU03012 and OSU03013 stood out as the most potent analogs with IC50s ii of 5µM and 2µM, respectively. Such improvement was partly attributed to an additional H-bond formed with hinge region residue Ser160. Exposure of PC-3 cells to these two agents (5µM or higher) led to significant decreases in Akt and p70s6k kinase activity (both are downstream substrates of PDK-1) and an increase in apoptosis evidenced by nucleosome formation and PARP cleavage. As OSU03012 was tolerated well by nude mice at a dose of 200mg/kg, it was chosen for further study. In primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells and the breast cancer cell line, MDAMB453, the compound induced apoptosis. In addition, Tseng et. al. showed that OSU03012 was equally potent in imatinib-resistant and -sensitive CML cells with IC50 of 6µM. OSU03012 was able to sensitize mutant resistant cells (Ba/F3p210E255K and Ba/F3p210T315I) to imatinib partly because of the concerted effect on phospho-Akt. Currently, OSU03012 is being studied in lung, thyroid, ovarian and bladder cancers and preclinical studies are underway (including toxicology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics). Future structure modification of OSU03012 is expected to be pursued in the following three aspects. Hydrophobic pockets behind the adenine binding domain and at the C-terminal lobe below the ribose binding pocket will be explored. Crystal structures of PDK-1 with this class of inhibitors are needed to provide insights into structure-based design. Adsorption, distribution, metabolism and execretion will be integrated into inhibitor design to achieve clinically applicable drug candidates. iii Dedicated to my grandparents, parents and brother iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS • I would like to acknowledge Dr. Chen for his guidance, constant encouragement, support and for providing excellent working environment for his students • I would also like to express my sincere appreciation for the faculty of the division, especially Drs.

Morphol., 35(2):733-739, 2017. SUMMARY: Although, antineoplastic therapies have now been developed reduction of tumor progression, it is necessary to find new therapeutic alternatives to suppress angiogenesis. Thus celecoxib (Cx) has been used for its antiangiogenic action in combination with certain polymeric compounds such as poly (lactic co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) acid, which help to improve the bioavailability and avoid effects of long drug administrations. For this purpose we used a murine tumor model induced by mammary adenocarcinoma cells resistant to chemotherapy (TA3-MTXR). CX/PLGA inhibits the microvascular density, VEGF expression and cell proliferation in addition to increased apoptosis (P <0.0001). Cx reduces tumor progression in a concentration of 1000 ppm associated with PLGA,

Experimental Design: Patients were randomized to sorafenib (400 mg b.i.d.) or placebo, combined with mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2; levo-leucovorin 200 mg/m2; fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 bolus and 2400 mg/m2 continuous infusion) every 14 days. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Target sample was 120 events in 180 patients for >85% power (two-sided a ¼ 0.20) to detect an HR ¼ 0.65. Results: Of 198 patients randomized, median PFS for sorafenib plus mFOLFOX6 was 9.1 months versus 8.7 months for placebo plus mFOLFOX6 (HR ¼ 0.88; 95% CI, 0.64–1.23; P ¼ 0.46). There was no difference between treatment arms for overall survival. Subgroup analyses of PFS and overall survival showed no difference between treatment arms by KRAS or BRAF status (mutant and wild type). The most common grade 3/4 adverse events in the sorafenib and placebo arms were neutropenia (48% vs.

  • Chemistry of Trifluoroacetimidoyl Halides As Versatile Fluorine-Containing Building Bloks
    number 137 Contribution Chemistry of Trifluoroacetimidoyl Halides as Versatile Fluorine-containing Building Blocks Kenji Uneyama Professor of Emeritus, Department of Applied Chemistry, Okayama University Okayama 700-8530, Okayama, Japan 1. Outline of trifluoroacetimidoyl halides develop more sophisticated building blocks. They should be synthesized in high yields from easily available starting The trifluoromethyl group involved in organic compounds materials and should contain highly potential functional plays important roles as a key functional group in groups usable for further molecular modification. On this medicine, agricultural chemicals and electronic materials basis, trifluoroacetimidoyl halides are one of the unique and like liquid crystals. Common methods for introducing the valuable CF3-containing synthetic building blocks due to trifluoromethyl group (CF3 group) into organic compounds the following promising profiles; a) easy one-step are categorized into three; 1) the use of building blocks synthesis from a very available trifluoroacetic acid in containing CF3 group, 2) trifluoromethylation by the use of excellent yields, b) relatively stable to be stored, and c) trifluoromethylating agents such as CF3-TMS, FSO2CO2Me, containing highly potential functional groups such as CF3, CF3I, etc., and 3) the transformation of a functional group imino C=N double bond and halogen (Scheme 1). such as CCl3 and CO2H groups to CF3 group by the use of fluorinating agents such as F2 and HF. The method 3 is (Synthesis) conventionally used for the industrial mass production of Imidoyl halides 1 (X: Cl, Br) are synthesized from CF3-containing molecules, which are mostly structurally trifluoroacetic acid in excellent yields (85-95%) as shown 2) simple and stable molecules.
