BACKGROUND: Abolition of cancer warrants effective treatment modalities directed towards specific pathways dysregulated in tumor proliferation and survival. The antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins are significantly altered in several tumor types which position them as striking targets for therapeutic intervention. Here we designed, computationally evaluated, synthesized, and biologically tested structurally optimized thiazole-based small molecules as anticancer agents.
METHODS: The virtually designed 200 molecules were subjected to rigorous docking and in silico ADME-Toxicity studies. Out of this, 23 skeletally diverse thiazole-based molecules which passed pan assay interference compounds (PAINS) filter and were synthetically feasible were synthesized in 3 steps using cheap and readily available reagents. The molecules were in vitro evaluated against Bcl-2-Jurkat, A-431 cancerous cell lines and ARPE-19 cell lines. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation studies were performed to analyse conformational changes induced by ligand 32 in Bcl-2. Flow cytometry analysis of compound 32 treated Bcl-2 cells was done to check apoptosis.
RESULTS: The molecules exhibited appreciable interactions with Bcl-2 and were having acceptable drug like properties as tested in silico. The multi step synthesis yielded 23 skeletally diverse thiazole-based molecules in up to 80% yield. The molecules simultaneously inhibited Bcl-2 Jurkat cells in vitro without causing detectable toxicity to normal cells (ARPE-19 cells). Among them molecules 32, 50, 53, 57 and 59 showed considerable activities against Bcl-2 Jurkat and A-431cell lines at concentrations ranging from 32-46 μM and 34-52 μM, respectively. The standard doxorubicin exhibited IC50 in Bcl-2 Jurkat and A-431cell lines at 45.87 μM and 42.37 μM, respectively. The molecule 32, almost equipotent in both the cell lines was subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with Bcl-2 protein (4IEH). It was shown that 32 interacted with protein majorly via hydrophobic interactions and few H-bonding interactions. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis established that molecule is dragging cancerous cells towards apoptosis.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The chemical intuition was checked by computation coupled with biological results confirmed that thiazole-based hits have the potential to be developed downstream into potent and safer leads against antiapoptotic Bcl-2 cells.
