Popis: Based on our previous work, a novel class of 8-cyclopentyl-7,8-dihydropteridin-6(5H)-one derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as antiproliferative agents. Structure-activity relationship analysis revealed that the greatest activities were achieved with a 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)aniline group at C-2 position of dihydropteridin-6(5H)-one core, and the most promising compound 6k demonstrated comparable antiproliferative activity with Palbociclib and more potent than our parent derivative 4 toward four cell lines including HCT-116, HeLa, HT-29, and MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values of 3.29, 6.75, 7.56, and 10.30 μM, respectively. Moreover, the mechanism studies revealed that compound 6k could induce cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase via a concentration-dependent manner. In general, these preliminary observations suggested that these compounds could serve as promising scaffolds for further modification to develop novel and highly potent cancer therapy agents.
