The design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 7-alkoxy-4-heteroarylamino-3-cyanoquinolines as dual inhibitors of c-Src and iNOS

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Dec 1;18(23):6206-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.10.006. Epub 2008 Oct 5.

Abstract

Because both c-Src and iNOS are key regulatory enzymes in tumorigenesis, a new series of 4-heterocycle amine-3-quinolinecarbonitriles as potent dual inhibitors of both enzymes were designed, synthesized and evaluated as multiple targets agents in cancer therapy. All compounds were evaluated by two related enzyme inhibition assays and an anti-proliferation assay in vitro. The results showed that most compounds inhibited c-Src and iNOS well. The best compound 8 inhibited both enzymes with the IC(50) values of 34.8 nM and 26.7 microM. Several compounds also showed moderate anti-proliferation at 10 microM against colon and liver cancer cell lines.
