Synthesis of the New Matrix Metalloproteinase Type-2 and Type-9 Inhibitor 1-{4-[(2,4-Dichlorobenzoyl)-Amino]Phenyl}Sulfonyl-(2S,4R)-4-Hydroxypyrrolidine-2-Carboxylic Acid and its Anticancer Activity in a Breast Adenocarcinoma Experimental Model
摘要
Previously, we proposed a pharmacophoric model of inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9). The new inhibitor of MMP-2 and MMP-9 1-{4-[(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)amino]phenyl}sulfonyl-(2S,4R)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (working code GGM-27) was designed and synthesized based on this model and a molecular docking method. In vitro experiments using the fluorogenic substrate Mca-Lys-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Dpa-Ala-Arg-NH2 and recombinant human MMP-2 and MMP-9 showed the inhibitory activity of GGM-27 towards MMP-2 (Ki 9.4 × 10–5 M) and MMP-9 (Ki 9.0 × 10–4 M). A study of the Ca755 breast adenocarcinoma model in female C57Bl/6 mice showed the antitumor activity of the compound GGM-27 at doses of 1 and 10 mg/kg with 14-d intraperitoneal administration. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) values under the influence of GGM-27 at doses of 1 and 10 mg/kg were 76 and 71%, respectively, on the 15th day of tumor development; 63 and 62%, on the 21st day. The increases in the average lifespan of mice after using the compound at the same doses were 45 and 47%. Thus, the phenylsulfonyl-L-hydroxyproline derivative GGM-27, which has the properties of an inhibitor of MMP-2 and MMP-9, was found to have antitumor activity in the Ca755 breast adenocarcinoma model.
