Gao, Feng published the artcileDesign, synthesis, antitumor activities and biological studies of novel diaryl substituted fused heterocycles as dual ligands targeting tubulin and katanin, Formula: C2H5NO, the main research area is imidazopyridine derivative preparation antitumor activity tubulin katanin; Antitumor; Imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-one; Katanin; Tubulin polymerization.
Microtubule is one of the important targets for cancer treatment. A novel class of diaryl substituted imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-ones and imidazo[4,5-c]pyridines were designed based on combination principles by merging the structures of β-lactams and purine-type compounds known as tubulin polymerization inhibitor and katanin activity up-regulator, resp. Their antitumor activities were evaluated in vitro and the mechanism was elucidated, leading to the identification of 1,6-diaryl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2(3H)-one I as the first bifunctional agent that can target both tubulin and katanin simultaneously. The in vivo assays verified that compound I significantly inhibited xenograft tumor growth with good pharmacokinetic characteristics, demonstrating a promising potential for further development into anti-tumor drug candidates with a unique mechanism of dual-targeting microtubule.
European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry published new progress about Antitumor agents. 123-39-7 belongs to class amides-buliding-blocks, name is N-Methylformamide, and the molecular formula is C2H5NO, Formula: C2H5NO.
