Hu, Caijuan; Li, Guoxun; Mu, Yu; Wu, Wenxi; Cao, Bixuan; Wang, Zixuan; Yu, Hainan; Guan, Peipei; Han, Li; Li, Liya; Huang, Xueshi published the artcile< Discovery of Anti-TNBC Agents Targeting PTP1B: Total Synthesis, Structure-Activity Relationship, In Vitro and In Vivo Investigations of Jamunones>, Name: 2,4,6-Trihydroxyisophthalaldehyde, the main research area is jamunone analog preparation antitumor triple neg breast cancer.

Twenty-three natural jamunone analogs along with a series of jamunone-based derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects against breast cancer (BC) MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. The preliminary structure-activity relationship revealed that the length of aliphatic side chain and free phenolic hydroxyl group at the scaffold played a vital role in anti-BC activities and the Me group on chromanone affected the selectivity of mols. against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. Among them, jamunone M (I; JM) was screened as the most effective anti-triple-neg. breast cancer (anti-TNBC) candidate with a high selectivity against BC cells over normal human cells. Mechanistic investigations indicated that JM could induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and cause G0/G1 phase arrest in BC cells. Furthermore, JM significantly restrained tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 xenograft mice without apparent toxicity. Interestingly, JM could downregulate phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway by suppressing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) expression. These findings revealed the potential of JM as an appealing therapeutic drug candidate for TNBC.
