One crucial strategy for the treatment of breast cancer involves focusing on the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR-2) signaling system. Consequently, the development of new (VEGFR-2) inhibitors is of the utmost importance. In this study, novel 3-thiazolhydrazinylcoumarins were designed and synthesized via the reaction of phenylazoacetylcoumarin with various hydrazonoyl halides and α-bromoketones. By using elemental and spectral analysis data (IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, and Mass), the ascribed structures for all newly synthesized compounds were clarified, and the mechanisms underlying their formation were delineated. The molecular docking studies of the resulting 6-(phenyldiazenyl)-2-chromen-2-one (, , and ) derivatives were assessed against VEGFR-2 and demonstrated comparable activities to that of Sorafenib (approved medicine) with compounds and showing the highest binding scores (-9.900 and -9.819 kcal/mol, respectively). The cytotoxicity of the most active thiazole derivatives , , , and were investigated for their human breast cancer (MCF-7) cell line and normal cell line LLC-Mk2 using MTT assay and Sorafenib as the reference drug. The results revealed that compounds and exhibited greater anticancer activities (IC = 10.5 ± 0.71 and 11.2 ± 0.80 μM, respectively) than the Sorafenib reference drug (IC = 5.10 ± 0.49 μM). Therefore, the present study demonstrated that thiazolyl coumarins are potential (VEGFR-2) inhibitors and pave the way for the synthesis of additional libraries based on the reported scaffold, which could eventually lead to the development of efficient treatment for breast cancer.
一种治疗乳腺癌的关键策略涉及针对血管内皮生长因子受体 (VEGFR-2) 信号系统。因此,开发新的 (VEGFR-2) 抑制剂至关重要。在这项研究中,通过苯偶氮乙酰香豆素与各种腙酰卤和α-溴代酮的反应,设计并合成了新型 3-噻唑基腙香豆素。通过元素和光谱分析数据(IR、H-NMR、C-NMR 和 Mass),阐明了所有新合成化合物的归属结构,并阐明了它们形成的机制。对所得 6-(苯偶氮基)-2-色满-2-酮(、、和)衍生物进行了分子对接研究,评估了它们对 VEGFR-2 的抑制活性,结果表明其活性与索拉非尼(已批准的药物)相当,其中化合物和显示出最高的结合评分(分别为-9.900 和-9.819 kcal/mol)。通过 MTT 测定法,研究了最活跃的噻唑衍生物、、、和对人乳腺癌(MCF-7)细胞系和正常细胞系 LLC-Mk2 的细胞毒性,并以索拉非尼作为参考药物。结果表明,化合物和表现出更强的抗癌活性(IC = 10.5 ± 0.71 和 11.2 ± 0.80 μM,分别)比索拉非尼参考药物(IC = 5.10 ± 0.49 μM)更强。因此,本研究表明噻唑基香豆素是潜在的 (VEGFR-2) 抑制剂,并为基于报道的支架合成其他库铺平了道路,这最终可能导致开发有效的乳腺癌治疗方法。
