Abstract

Described herein is the discovery of a novel series of antitumor sulfonamides targeting G1 phase of the cell cycle. Cell cycle control in G1 phase has attracted considerable attention in recent cancer research, because many of the important proteins involved in G1 progression or G1/S transition have been found to play a crucial role in proliferation, differentiation, transformation, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). We previously reported our first antitumor sulfonamide E7010 as a novel tubulin polymerization inhibitor. Interestingly enough, continuous research on structurally related compounds led us to the finding of another class of antitumor sulfonamides that block cell cycle progression of P388 murine leukemia cells in G1 phase, but not in M phase. Of the compounds examined, N-(3-chloro-7-indolyl)-1,4-benzenedisulfonamide (E7070) showed significant antitumor activity against HCT116 human colon carcinoma both in vitro (IC(50) 0.11 microg/mL in cell proliferation assay) and in vivo (not only growth suppression but also a marked reduction of tumor size in nude mice). Because of its promising efficacy against human tumor xenografts and its unique mode of action, E7070 is currently undergoing phase I clinical trials in European countries.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
