From a series of 12 synthesized diversely substituted 4-oxycoumarin derivatives the most potent bioactive molecule as anti-proliferative on breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7), human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60), human histiocyticlymphoma cells (U937) and mouse neuroblastoms cells (Neuro2a) was the 4-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxycoumarin (compound1). It showed similar potency in all cancer cell lines tested, with IC50 = 0.2–2 lM, higher than tamoxifen (IC50 = 8–14 lM)and coumarin (IC50 = >50 lM) used as positive controls. Intriguingly its structural isomer, compound 2, in which only onemethoxy group is changed from 5 to 8 position, is not active in MCF-7 cells, while it is weakly active in HL-60, U937 andNeuro2a cells.

Dong-Dong Li, Fei Fang, Jing-Ran Li, Qian-Ru Du, Jian Sun, Hai-Bin Gong*, Hai-Liang Zhu*
It had been reported that some dioxygenated rings fusing with the quinazoline scaffold could lead to newEGFR inhibitors. Based on this, several kinds of oxygenated alkane quinazoline derivatives weresynthetized and evaluated as EGFR inhibitors. Their antiproliferative activities were tested against fourcancer cell lines: A431, MCF-7, A549, and B16-F10. Most derivatives could counteract EGF-induced EGFRphosphorylation, and their potency was comparable to the reference compound Erlotinib. The size of thefused dioxygenated ring was crucial for the biological activity and the heptatomic ring derivative 19showed potent in vitro inhibitory activity in the enzymatic assay as well as in the cellular assay.

COVER
Molecular recognition of protein targets by organic molecules is influenced by three-dimensional shape complementarity. As illustrated in thecover photograph, increasingly complex binding pockets may be better approached with small molecules possessing structural complexity inthe chemical core and diversity in appending groups. Products of diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) possess these attributes, and may befurther biased toward specific protein families by appending reactive functional groups. Recently, Schreiber and colleagues reported thedevelopment of potent, selective inhibitors of histone deacetylase isoforms by biasing DOS macrocycles using metal-binding chemical features(Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 May 1;21(9):2601-5). This strategy may be applicable to many other targets of interest in ligand discovery.Photograph by Richard Oakley and James Bradner (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA).
