Abstract

Chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) is the receptor of glutamic acid-leucine-arginine sequence-contained chemokines CXCs (ELR<sup>+</sup> CXCs). In recent years, CXCR2-target treatment strategy has come a long way in cancer therapy. CXCR2 antagonists could block CXCLs/CXCR2 axis, and are widely used in regulating immune cell migration, tumor metastasis, apoptosis and angiogenesis. Herein, two series of new CXCR2 small-molecule inhibitors, including 1,2,4-triazol-3-one derivatives 1-11 and pyridazinone derivatives 12-22 were designed and synthesized based on the proof-to-concept. The pyridazinone derivative 18 exhibited good CXCR2 antagonistic activity (69.4 ± 10.5 %Inh at 10 μM) and demonstrated its significant anticancer metastasis activity in MDA-MB-231 cells and remarkable anti-angiogenesis activity in HUVECs. Furthermore, noteworthy was that 18 exhibited an obvious synergistic effect with Sorafenib in anti-proliferation assay in MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, 18 showed a distinct reduction of the phosphorylation levels of both PI3K and AKT proteins in MDA-MB-231 cells, and also affected the expression levels of other PI3K/AKT signaling pathway-associated proteins. The molecular docking studies of 18 with CXCR2 also verified the rationality of our design strategy. All of these results revealed pyridazinone derivative 18 as a promising CXCR2 antagonist for future cancer therapy.
