Novel 3-Azaindolyl-4-arylmaleimides Exhibiting Potent Antiangiogenic Efficacy, Protein Kinase Inhibition, and Antiproliferative Activity

2012

Tumor growth and metastasis are highly associated with the overexpression of protein kinases (PKs) regulating cell growth, apoptosis resistance, and prolonged cell survival. This study describes novel azaindolyl-maleimides with significant inhibition of PKs, such as VEGFR, FLT-3, and GSK-3β which are related to carcinogenesis. Furthermore, these compounds exhibit high kinase selectivity and potent inhibition of angiogenesis and cell proliferation, offering versatile options in cancer treatment strategies.

Moguntinones--new selective inhibitors for the treatment of human colorectal cancer.

2014

Abstract 3-Indolyl and 3-azaindolyl-4-aryl maleimide derivatives, called moguntinones (MOG), have been selected for their ability to inhibit protein kinases associated with angiogenesis and induce apoptosis. Here, we characterize their mode of action and their potential clinical value in human colorectal cancer in vitro and in vivo. MOG-19 and MOG-13 were characterized in vitro using kinase, viability, and apoptosis assays in different human colon cancer (HT-29, HCT-116, Caco-2, and SW480) and normal colon cell lines (CCD-18Co, FHC, and HCoEpiC) alone or in combination with topoisomerase I inhibitors. Intracellular signaling pathways were analyzed by Western blotting. To determine their pot…
