Novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole/oxadiazole-linked honokiol derivatives suppress cancer via inducing PI3K/Akt/mTOR-dependent autophagy.
Bioorganic chemistry(2021)
Abstract
Honokiol is a bioactive biphenolic component derived from Magnoliae officinalis Cortex (known as "Hou Po" in Chinese), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. A series of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole/oxadiazole-linked honokiol derivatives were synthesized and tested for anticancer activity against seven human cancer cell lines in this study. Among all derivatives, 8a had the most potent cytotoxic effect on all tested cancer cells, with IC50 values ranging from 1.62 ± 0.19 to 4.61 ± 0.51 µM, which were 10.38-34.36 folds more potent than the parental honokiol (IC50 values of 30.96 ± 1.81-55.67 ± 0.31 µM). On A549, HCT116, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, 8a demonstrated 5.69-fold, 5.65-fold, and 4.83-fold greater cytotoxicity than cisplatin, respectively. Compound 8a also had higher selectivity (SI values of 8.41-49.38) towards seven cancer cell lines over the normal cell lines than cisplatin (SI values of 1.24-2.52). The analysis of structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed that honokiol derivatives bearing 1,3,4-thiadiazoles (8a-j) possessed stronger anticancer activity than those containing 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Further mechanistic investigation indicated that 8a induced cytotoxic autophagy in cancer cells in a time- and dose-independent manner via suppressing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Molecular docking suggested that 8a could bind to the PI3Kα active sites. Additionally, 8a inhibited the migration and invasion of A549 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells.
