چکیده
Virtual screening targeting the urokinase receptor (uPAR) led to (±)-3-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethyl)-4-phenylbutan-1-amine 1 (IPR-1) and N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1-(4-isopropylphenyl)-5-(piperidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide 3 (IPR-69). Synthesis of an analogue of 1, namely, 2 (IPR-9), and 3 led to breast MDA-MB-231 invasion, migration and adhesion assays with IC(50) near 30 μM. Both compounds blocked angiogenesis with IC(50) of 3 μM. Compounds 2 and 3 inhibited cell growth with IC(50) of 6 and 18 μM and induced apoptosis. Biochemical assays revealed leadlike properties for 3, but not 2. Compound 3 administered orally reached peak concentration of nearly 40 μM with a half-life of about 2 h. In NOD-SCID mice inoculated with breast TMD-231 cells in their mammary fat pads, compound 3 showed a 20% reduction in tumor volumes and less extensive metastasis was observed for the treated mice. The suitable pharmacokinetic properties of 3 and the encouraging preliminary results in metastasis make it an ideal starting point for next generation compounds.

Molecular Docking Based on Virtual Screening, Molecular Dynamics and Atoms in Molecules Studies to Identify the Potential Human Epidermal Receptor 2 Intracellular Domain Inhibitors
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family having tyrosine kinase activity. Overexpression of HER2 usually causes malignant transformation of cells and is responsible for the breast cancer. In this work, the virtual screening, molecular docking, quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics methods were employed to study protein–ligand ...
متن کاملExpression of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Protein in Human Breast Cancer
Background & Objectives: Anaplastic lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the genesis of several human cancers. ALK was initially identified because of its involvement in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). ALK is believed to foster tumorigenesis following activation by autocrine and/or paracrine growth loops. Studies reveal that the presence of anti-ALK antibodies ...
متن کاملInhibition of breast cancer metastasis by co-transfection of miR-31/193b-mimics
Objective(s): Various studies have been conducted to reduce the metastatic behavior of cancerous cells. In this regard, ectopic expression of anti-metastatic microRNAs by miR-mimic and miR-restoration-based therapies could bring new insights to the field. In the present study, the consequences of co-transfecting breast cancer cell lines with miR-193b and miR-31 were investigated via invasion an...

Background: ncRNAs have been identified as oncogenic drivers and tumor suppressors in any type of cancer. Although many classes of ncRNAs have been reported, most studies have been performed on microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs can regulate several target genes and affect important processes such as homeostasis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Located in the p75NTR ge...
