Oxazole and thiazole analogs of sulindac for cancer prevention
2018
Aim: Experimental and epidemiological studies and clinical trials suggest that
nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs possess antitumor potential.
Sulindac, a widely used
nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drug, can prevent adenomatous colorectal polyps and colon cancer, especially in patients with
familial adenomatous polyposis.
Sulindacsulfide
amide(SSA) is an
amide-linked
sulindacsulfide analog that showed in vivo antitumor activity in a human colon tumor xenograft model. Results/methodology: A new analog series with heterocyclic rings such as
oxazoleor
thiazoleat the C-2 position of
sulindacwas prepared and screened against prostate, colon and breast cancer cell lines to probe the effect of these novel substitutions on the activity of
sulindacanalogs. Conclusion: In general, replacement of the
amidefunction of SSA analogs had a negative impact on the cell lines tested. A small number of hits incorporating rigid
oxazoleor
thiazolegroups in the
sulindacscaffold in place of the
amidelinkage show co...
