Liu, Gang published the artcileStructure-activity relationship studies on Bax activator SMBA1 for the treatment of ER-positive and triple-negative breast cancer, Safety of 2-Morpholinoethanol, the publication is European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2019), 589-605, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
In an effort to develop novel Bax activators for breast cancer treatment, a series of diverse analogs have been designed and synthesized based on lead compound SMBA1 through several strategies, including introducing various alkylamino side chains to have a deeper access to S184 pocket, replacing carbon atoms with nitrogen, and reducing the nitro group of 9H-fluorene scaffold. Compounds 14 (CYD-2-11, I) and 49 (CYD-4-61, II) have been identified to exhibit significantly improved antiproliferative activity compared to SMBA1, with IC50 values of 3.22 μM and 0.07 μM against triple-neg. breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and 3.81 μM and 0.06 μM against ER-pos. breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines, resp. Mechanism of action studies of II indicated that it can activate Bax protein to induce cytochrome c release and regulate apoptotic biomarkers, leading to cancer cell apoptosis. Further in vivo efficacy studies of I and II in nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 tumor xenografts demonstrated that these drug candidates can significantly suppress tumor growth, indicating their therapeutic potential for the treatment of breast cancer.
