AB  - A series of analogs of the earlier reported lead compound DVD-445 (thioredoxin reductase inhibitor with anticancer activity) has been synthesized via a modified Ugi reaction and investigated. Seven most potent compounds (with IC50 below 5.00 μM against recombinant rTrxR1 enzyme) were examined for their effect on cell growth and viability, oxidative stress induction and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition in human glioblastoma cells cell line U87 and its corresponding multidrug resistant (MDR) cell line U87-TxR. Several of these frontrunner compounds were shown to be superior over DVD-445. Besides providing promising candidates for anticancer therapy, our study further validates the small electrophilic Ugi Michael acceptor (UMA) chemotype as efficacious inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase.

AB  - A series of peptidomimetic compounds incorporating an electrophilic moiety was synthesized using the Ugi reaction. These compounds (termed the Ugi Michael acceptors or UMAs) were designed to target the selenocysteine catalytic residue of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1), a promising cancer target. The compounds were assessed for their potential to inhibit TrxR1 using human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cell lysate. Based on this initial screening, six compounds were selected for testing against recombinant rat TrxR1 and in the insulin assay to reveal low-micromolar to submicromolar potency of these inhibitors. The same frontrunner compounds were evaluated for their ability to exert antiproliferative activity and induce cell death and this activity was compared to the UMA effects on the levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). Collectively, the UMA compounds class presented itself as a rich source of leads for TrxR1 inhibitor discovery for anticancer application. Compound 7 (DVD-445) was nominated a lead for further optimization.
