Abstract

We report the discovery of a series of substituted N'-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)benzohydrazides as inducers of apoptosis using our proprietary cell- and caspase-based ASAP HTS assay. Through SAR studies, N'-(4-bromo-5-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzohydrazide (3g) was identified as a potent apoptosis inducer with an EC(50) value of 0.24microM in human colorectal carcinoma HCT116 cells, more than a 40-fold increase in potency from the initial screening hit N'-(5-bromo-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzohydrazide (2a). Compound 3g also was found to be highly active in a growth inhibition assay with a GI(50) value of 0.056microM in HCT116 cells. A group of potentially more aqueous soluble analogs were prepared and found to be highly active. Among them, compound 4e incorporating a methyl piperazine moiety was found to have EC(50) values of 0.17, 0.088 and 0.14microM in human colorectal carcinoma cells HCT116, hepatocellular carcinoma cancer SNU398 cells and human colon cancer RKO cells, respectively. Compounds 3g and 4e were found to function as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization.
