Abstract
In this article, we describe the synthesis of 3-phenylquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile 1,4-dioxides bearing cyclic diamine residues at positions 6 or 7; the synthesis is based on the nucleophilic substitution of halogens. All synthesized 6(7)-aminoquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile 1,4-dioxides 3-6 demonstrated higher cytotoxicity and hypoxia selectivity compared to the reference agent tirapazamine against breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MCF7, MDA-MB-231). The structure and position of the diamine residue considerably affects the antiproliferative properties of the quinoxaline-2-carbonitrile 1,4-dioxides. The introduction of a halogen atom at position 7 in the quinoxaline ring of 4a considerably increases the cytotoxicity of compounds 5a and 6a under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. However, the most hypoxia-selective derivatives were non-halogenated 7-aminosubstituted 3-phenylquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile 1,4-dioxides 3a-j. Of the 32 novel synthesized derivatives, approximately 20 of the 6(7)-amino-3-phenylquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile 1,4-dioxides demonstrated high antiproliferative potency against wild type leukemia cells K562 and drug-resistant subline K562/4 with the expression of p-glycoprotein (p-gp) compared to the reference agent doxorubicin, which exhibited one order of magnitude lower activity towards K562/4 cells than towards K562 cells. Lead compounds 5a and 3f inhibited HIF-1α expression and activity and induced apoptosis in hypoxic tumor cells, which was confirmed by poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) cleavage. Moreover, 5a and 3f showed strong antiestrogenic potencies in MCF7 breast cancer cells. Thus, the described series of quinoxaline 1,4-dioxides has high anticancer potential and good aqueous solubility. Therefore, these compounds are promising for further drug development of hypoxia-targeted anticancer agents.
