Ribonucleotide reductase (RR) is an important therapeutic target for anticancer drugs. The structure of human RR features a 1:1 complex of two homodimeric subunits, hRRM1 and hRRM2. Prokaryotically expressed and highly purified recombinant human RR subunits, hRRM1 and hRRM2, were used for holoenzyme-based [(3)H]CDP reduction in vitro assay. Ten new thiosemicarbazones (7-16) were synthesized and screened for their RR inhibitory activity. Two thiosemicarbazones derived from p-hydroxy benzaldehyde (9 and 10) were found to be active but less potent than the standard, Hydroxyurea (HU). Guided by the activity of compounds 9 and 10, 11 new thiosemicarbazones (17-27) derived from p-hydroxy benzaldehyde were prepared and screened for their RR inhibitory activity. All the 11 compounds were more potent than HU.
核糖核苷酸还原酶(RR)是抗癌药物的一个重要治疗靶点。人RR的结构具有两个同二聚体亚基hRRM1和hRRM2的1:1复合物。原核表达并高度纯化的重组人RR亚基hRRM1和hRRM2用于基于全酶的[³H]CDP还原体外测定。合成了10种新的硫代半卡巴腙(7 - 16)并筛选其RR抑制活性。发现两种源自对羟基苯甲醛的硫代半卡巴腙(9和10)具有活性,但效力低于标准品羟基脲(HU)。以化合物9和10的活性为指导,制备了11种源自对羟基苯甲醛的新硫代半卡巴腙(17 - 27)并筛选其RR抑制活性。所有这11种化合物的效力均高于HU。
