Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer. In the current study, a new class of oxazine- and piperazine-linked pyrimidines was developed as inhibitors of NF-κB, overcoming the complexity of the oxazine structure found in nature and enabling synthesis under laboratory conditions. Among the series of synthesized and tested oxazine-pyrimidine and piperazine-pyrimidine derivatives, compounds and inhibited breast cancer cell (MCF-7) viability with an IC value of 9.17 and 6.29 µM, respectively. docking studies showed that the pyrimidine ring of and the 4-methoxybenzyl thiol group of could strongly bind the p65 subunit of NF-κB, with the binding energies -9.32 and -7.32 kcal mol. Furthermore, compounds and inhibited NF-κB in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. In conclusion, we herein report newer structures that target NF-κB in BC cells.
核因子κB(NF-κB)是乳腺癌潜在的治疗靶点。在当前研究中,开发了一类新型的恶嗪和哌嗪连接的嘧啶作为NF-κB抑制剂,克服了自然界中发现的恶嗪结构的复杂性,并能够在实验室条件下进行合成。在一系列合成和测试的恶嗪-嘧啶和哌嗪-嘧啶衍生物中,化合物 和 分别以9.17和6.29 µM的IC值抑制乳腺癌细胞(MCF-7)的活力。对接研究表明,化合物 的嘧啶环和化合物 的4-甲氧基苄基硫醇基团可与NF-κB的p65亚基强烈结合,结合能分别为-9.32和-7.32 kcal/mol。此外,化合物 和 可抑制MCF-7乳腺癌细胞中的NF-κB。总之,我们在此报告了靶向乳腺癌细胞中NF-κB的新结构。
