Aryl azole derivatives as potential disruptors of tumor microenvironment

Title : Aryl azole derivatives as potential disruptors of tumor microenvironment

Abstract:

Thirty-nine aryl azoles, were synthesised and biologically evaluated for their activity as tumour microenvironment disruptors. Antiproliferative studies were performed in the tumour cell lines HT-29, A- 549 and MCF-7 and in the non-tumour cell line HEK-293. In HT-29, expression levels of biological targets involved in tumour microenvironment processes such as PD-L1, CD-47, c-Myc and VEGFR-2 were assessed. In addition, the antiproliferative activity was assessed when HT-29 were co-cultured with THP-1 monocytes and the secretion levels of IL-6 were also determined in these co-cultures. The angiogenic effect of some selected compounds on HMEC-1 was also evaluated as well as their effect on vasculogenic mimicry on HEK-293. Compounds with an amino group in the phenyl ring and a halogen atom in the benzyl ring showed promising results as tumour microenvironment disrupting agents. The most outstanding compound dramatically reduced the population of HT-29 cells when co-cultured with THP-1 monocytes and the levels of IL-6 secreted, as well as showing moderate effects on PD-L1, CD-47 and c-Myc.
Audience Take-Away:

  • Those people in the audience involved in Drug Discovery research could use most of the information we are going to provide.
  • This is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work so people from research fields involved in Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Cell biology, Immunology could be interested.
  • The audience will learn more about multitarget anticancer drug discovery for oncoimmunomodulating therapies.

Biography:

Dr. Eva Falomir studied Chemistry at the Valencia University, Spain and graduated as MS in 1994. She then joined the research group of Prof. Carda at Jaume I University (UJI). She received her PhD degree in 1998 at the same institution. After two years postdoctoral fellowship supervised by Dr A. Fürstner at Max-Planck Institute, Germany she obtained the position of an Associate Professor at UJI. In 2022, she got a Full Professor position in the same university. She has published more than 100 research articles in SCI(E) journals.
