pubmed:abstractText
A series of N-alkylamide analogues of the lavendustin A pharmacophore were synthesized and tested for inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein tyrosine kinase and the nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase Syk. Although several compounds in the series were effective inhibitors of both kinases, it seemed questionable whether their inhibitory effects on these kinases were responsible for the cytotoxic properties observed in a variety of human cancer cell cultures. Accordingly, a COMPARE analysis of the cytotoxicity profile of the most cytotoxic member of the series was performed, and the results indicated that its cytotoxicity profile was similar to that of antitubulin agents. This mechanism of action was supported by demonstrating that most compounds in the series were moderately effective as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. This suggests that the lavendustin A analogues reported here, as well as some of the previously reported lavendustin A analogues, may be acting as cytotoxic agents by a mechanism involving the inhibition of tubulin polymerization.
