Cell-based biological evaluation of a new bisamide FMS kinase inhibitor possessing pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine scaffold

Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 2014 Sep;347(9):635-41. doi: 10.1002/ardp.201400051. Epub 2014 Jun 18.

Abstract

A bisamide compound 1 possessing the pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine nucleus was synthesized and biologically evaluated. It was tested for kinase inhibitory activity over a panel of 47 kinases, and its selectivity toward the FMS kinase was accidentally discovered. Compound 1 was tested over a panel of seven ovarian, two prostate, and six breast cancer cell lines at a single dose concentration of 10 µM and showed high activity. It was further tested in a 5-dose mode to determine its IC50 and total growth inhibition (TGI) values over the 15 cell lines. Compound 1 showed high potency on the submicromolar scale and good efficacy. The cytotoxic effect of compound 1 over peritoneal macrophages was also investigated. Compound 1 demonstrated higher selectivity against different cancer cell lines compared with HS-27 fibroblasts.

Keywords: Anticancer; Bisamide; Diarylamide; FMS kinase; Pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine.
