Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) FIG. 1 In vitro inhibiting effect of compounds on various types of tumor cells. 8 compounds having different structural features (#38-#45, which are L20, L21, L16, L18, L14, L10, L13 and L11, respectively) were chosen. For tumor cells originated from 11 different types of cell sources, activity of the same compound on different tumor cells and sensitivity of the same tumor on compounds of different structural features were determined. For each compound, the bars from left to right are associated with H522, HCT15, Hela, HepG2, HT1080, KG1, LNCap, MCF7, OVCAR.sub.3, SK-me128 and U87, respectively. The data come from three independent sets of experiments, expressed as average±standard error.

(2) FIG. 2. Vacuolization of tumor cells. 100 microliter culture medium (RPMI1640, 2 mmol glutamine, 10% fetal bovine serum) containing 10.sup.3 human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HCT15) or human brain glioma cells (U87) and a solvent DMSO control or 100 nM #40 compound (L16) was plated into a 96-well cell culture plate, and cell morphological image was taken under a phase contrast microscope after cultured at 5% CO.sub.2 and 37° C. for 96 hours. Both HCTS cells (upper right) and U87 cells (lower right) treated with 100 nM #40 compound showed significant vaculization.

(3) FIG. 3. The ability of the tested compounds to inhibit cell growth is not correlated with their ability to cause cell vacuolization. 37 compounds (L1-L37) were tested for their ability to inhibit growth and induce vacuolization of human glioma cells (U87). #50 compound (L1) exhibits the strongest ability to cause cell vacuolization.

(4) FIG. 4. A schematic view showing a flow chart for fishing a target protein with a probe. The process of fishing with the probe comprises in situ specific bonding of the probe compound to a protein of a living cell; in situ covalent crosslinking between the photosensitive group of the probe compound and its target protein under UV irradiation; specific linking of the alkynyl group of the probe compound to the azido group of the isolation compound via a click reaction; and isolating the target protein specifically bonded to the probe compound with the aid of the binding of the biotin group of the isolation compound with streptavidin-agarose bead.

(5) FIG. 5. A tool compound for fishing of a target protein with a probe. Among the compounds tested, #50 compound exhibits the strongest ability to cause cell vacuolization. Based on an analysis of a structure-activity relationship, linking of a photosensitive group to #50 compound on a position shown in the figure to obtain a probe #79 compound may not affect the bioactivity of #50 compound. It's also verified by experimentation that #79 compound and #50 compound can result in the same cell phenotype. To facilitate solid phase separation and reduce non-specificity, a designed #80 compound has a long chain linking a biotin to an azido group for a click reaction.

(6) FIG. 6. Separation and identification of a target protein. #79 compound used as a probe is bonded in situ to a target protein within a cell wherein a photo-promoted covalent linking is formed, and then reacts with #80 compound to achieve solid phase separation and purification of the target protein. A. Left: Proteins capable of specific bonding with #79 compound as detected by Western immunoblotting (as indicated by the arrows); right: specific target proteins separated by PAGE gel electrophoresis as indicated by coomassie blue staining. B. As shown by MALDI-mass spectrum peptide segment mapping and sequence analysis (MALDI-MS/MS), the target proteins match the known protein sequences in the data bank. The underlined bold portions are the matched sequences. The two isolated proteins of about 60 KD and about 200 KD match the same known protein sequence. C. The information of protein matching shows that the target protein of the compound is vimentin (SEQ ID NO: 1).

(7) FIG. 7. Results of docking between #50 compound and the target protein. A: 3KLT (system number of the protein; the spherical portion in the center is the active region of the protein) of vimentin tetramer originated from the PDB (protein data bank); B: #50 compound for docking; C: scores of the top 10 configurations of #50 compound resulting from docking between 3KLT and #50 compound using software Discovery Studio 3.0 and the LibDock docking method therein; D: a view showing the interaction between the #50 compound configuration having the highest score (indicated by purple color) and vimentin; E: amino acids forming hydrogen bonds with #50 compound after deproteinization, wherein the two amino acids, Arg273 and Tyr276, form hydrogen bonds with the triazine ring in #50 compound.

Example 5: In Vitro Testing of Compounds for Antineoplastic Activity (MTT Experiments)

(174) 1) Experimental Materials

(175) MTT, RPM1640 culture medium, fetal bovine serum, 96-well plate, CO.sub.2 thermostatic incubator, American BIO-RAD680 microplate reader, cell lines of human non-small cell lung cancer (H522), and cell lines of human brain glioma (U87) were all obtained commercially.

(176) 2) Experimental Steps

(177) (1) Cell inoculation: A single cell suspension was prepared with culture media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, plated into a 96-well plate with 5000 cells per well, each well having a volume of 100 μL, and cultured overnight.

(178) (2) Preparation of compound solutions: a DMSO stock solution of a compound was diluted on a sterile bench with a culture medium into 5 concentrations to be tested, wherein a double dilution was employed between two adjacent concentrations.

(179) (3) The compound solutions of various concentrations were added into the 96-well plate cultured overnight, with 100 μL added per well, triplicated wells for each concentration. Since the peripheral wells can have edge effect and are susceptible to contamination, no cells or compounds were added thereto; instead, 100 μL culture solution was added as a blank. Additionally, 100% wells were set to contain the cells and 100 μL culture media without any compound. The plates were incubated in a thermostatic incubator at 37° C. for 48 hours.

(180) (4) Staining: 10 μL MTT solution (5 mg/mL, prepared with PBS) was added into the 96-well plate for staining. After incubation for 4 hours, centrifugation was performed at 2500 rpm for 10 minutes. Then, a multiple pipette was used to suck the culture solution out of the wells carefully without sucking out the cells while the pipette tip faced downward. 150 μL DMSO was added and shaken on a shaker for 5-10 minutes. Crystals were allowed to dissolve fully, and an OD value for each well was measured using the microplate reader at 570 nm. The inhibition rate was calculated as follows:
Inhibition rate (%)=(average OD value of 100% wells−average OD value of compound wells)/(average OD value of 100% wells−average OD value of blank wells)×100%

(181) The experimental results of the compounds are listed in the following table:

Example 6: Broad-Spectrum and Selectivity of the Compounds in Inhibiting Tumor Cells

(183) 8 compounds (#38-#45, L20, L21, L16, L18, L14, L10, L13 and L11 in sequence) were chosen to test their ability to inhibit growth of 11 types of human tumor cells. The method was the same as in Example 5. The cell lines tested were: cell line of human non-small cell lung cancer (H522), cell line of human colon adenocarcinoma (HCT15), cell line of human cervical cancer (Hela), cell line of human liver cancer (HepG2), cell line of human fibrosarcoma (HT1080), cell line of human erythroleukemia (KG1), cell line of human prostatic cancer (LNCaP), cell line of human breast cancer (MCF7), cell line of human ovarian cancer (OVAR3), cell line of human melanoma (SK-me128), and cell line of human brain glioma (U87). The experimental results are shown in FIG. 1.

Example 7: Tumor Cell Vacuolization and Death by Methuosis

(184) After treated with certain compounds of particular structures, various types of tumor cells were observed to show a great degree of vesicle accumulation in the cytoplasm, a phenotype of cellular vacuolization. Some cells gradually became round and eventually bursted. These changes are consistent with the features of cell death by methuosis (FIG. 2).

(185) In order to compare the ability of different compounds to cause cell vacuolization, 100 μL culture media (RPMI1640, 2 mmol glutamine, 10% fetal bovine serum) comprising 10.sup.3 human glioma U87 cells and final concentrations of 0.01, 0.0316, 0.1, 0.316, 1.0, 3.160 μM respectively of the compounds to be tested were inoculated into a 96-well culture plate. After cultured at 5% CO.sub.2 and 37° C. for 96 hours, cell morphology was observed under a high-magnification microscope, and the ability of the compounds to cause cell vacuolization was scored. 5 scores were given when obvious vacuolization occurred at 10 nM, 4 scores at 31.6 nM, 3 scores at 100 nM, 2 scores at 316 nM, 1 score at 1000 nM, and 0 score was given if no vacuolation occurred at any concentration.

(186) FIG. 3 shows the ability of the compounds of different structures to cause cell vacuolization and their ability to inhibit cell proliferation. The specific results are shown below:

(200) Cell Culture:

(201) An amount of human glioma cells U87 were plated in an 150 cm.sup.2 Petri dish and cultured for 48 hours to reach 75-90% confluence. The culture medium was replaced with a prewarmed medium containing either 0.5 μM probe (#79 compound) or an equivalent volume of DMSO control. The cells continued in culture for 3 hours.

(202) UV Promoted Crosslinking:

(203) The cells were washed twice with a prechilled phosphate buffer saline (PBS). The cell-culture dish was placed on ice, and the cells were irradiated with ultraviolet light (an ultraviolet lamp having a power of 100 W, wavelength 350 nm, or 315-385 nm) through the top of the dish for 1 hour. Alternatively, a minimal amount of prechilled PBS (10 ml/150 cm.sup.2) was added to the cell-culture dish which was then placed on an ultraviolet irradiator. The bottom of the cell-culture dish received irradiation for 30 minutes (wavelength 315-385 nm, time being adjusted in light of the ultraviolet power).

(204) Preparation of Cell Lysis Solution:

(205) The cells were dissociated with trypsin, precipitated by centrifugation, and washed twice with PBS. The cells was resuspended in HEPES lysis buffer (25 mM Hepes, 150 mM sodium chloride, 2 mM magnesium chloride, 0.1% NP-40, protease inhibitor, pH7.5), homogenized by a short ultra-sonication (dispensable), mixed by rotation at 4° C. for 30 minutes, and then centrifuged at 4° C. for 10 minutes at a high speed. The protein concentration of the cell lysate was measured using the Bradford method.

(206) Pre-Clearance:

(207) 1 mL cell lysate (1-2 mg/mL) was added with streptavidin-agarose beads pre-equilibrated with HEPES buffer (25 mM Hepes, 150 mM sodium chloride, 2 mM magnesium chloride, pH7.5) and mixed by rotation at 4° C. for 2 hours or overnight. The supernatant was kept after centrifugation.

(208) Click Reaction:

(209) 940 μL of the supernatant as described above was added with a freshly prepared reaction mixture (20 μL 50 mM CuSO.sub.4, 10 μL freshly prepared 10 mM TBTA, namely tris[(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl]amine, 20 μL 50 mM TCEP, namely tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, and 10 μL 1 mM #80 compound), and gently mixed at room temperature for 2 hours. A double-volume acetone prechilled at −20° C. was added to stop the reaction. The resultant was centrifuged at 4° C. for 10 minutes at a high speed (13000 rpm) to precipitate protein. The protein pellet was washed twice with 500 μL, precooled methanol, and dissolved in 1 mL 0.1% SDS PBS with ultasonication.

(210) Purification of Target Protein:

(211) The solution of the redissolved protein as described above was added with streptavidin-agarose beads (200 μL, pellet volume) equilibrated with PBS, mixed by rotation at 4° C. for 2 hours or overnight, centrifuged to precipitate the agarose beads. The beads were washed once with 0.1% SDS PBS and four times with PBS, added an equivalent beads volume of 2×SDS loading buffer, and boiled for 15 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was loaded in 10% SDS-PAGE for protein separation. The gel was then stained with a 20 mL coomassie blue solution for 1 hour, then destained with 2×500 ml double distilled water for 2×1 hours. Specific protein bands was cut from the destained gel (FIG. 6, A).

(212) Protein Identification:

(213) MALDI-mass spectrum peptide segment mapping and sequence analysis (MALDI-MS/MS) was used to identify the purified protein. The peptide segment sequences of the purified protein matched the sequence of vimentin in the data bank (FIG. 6, B, C).

Example 9: Results of Molecular Docking of #50 Compound with the Target Protein

(214) Software Discovery Studio 3.0 was chosen, and the LibDock docking method therein was used to dock 3KLT of vimentin tetramer originated from the PDB (protein data bank) (see A in FIG. 7) and #50 compound (B in FIG. 7). A pink spherical active pouch was built in view of the ligand carried by 3KLT itself, wherein the radius was set to 10 Å; the number of the lattice points was 1000; the method used to produce configurations was Best; the maximal number of the small molecule configurations generated was set to 255; and the rest parameters were defaults. Scores of the top 10 configurations for #50 compound were obtained (see C in FIG. 7). Then, a picture showing the interaction between vimentin and the configuration of #50 compound having the highest score (D in FIG. 7) was provided. Amino acids forming hydrogen bonds with the #50 compound after deproteinization were also shown (E in FIG. 7). As can be seen, only two amino acids, Arg273 and Tyr276, formed hydrogen bonds with the triazine ring in #50 compound.
