Binding of dihydroxynaphthyl aryl ketones to tubulin colchicine site inhibits microtubule assembly.

چکیده
Dihydroxynaphthyl aryl ketones 1-5 have been evaluated for their abilities to inhibit microtubule assembly and the binding to tubulin. Compounds 3, 4 and 5 displayed competitive inhibition against colchicine binding, and docking analysis showed that they bind to the tubulin colchicine-binding pocket inducing sheets instead of microtubules. Remarkable differences in biological activity observed among the assayed compounds seem to be related to the structure and position of the aryl substituent bonded to the carbonyl group. Compounds 2, 3 and 4, which contain a heterocyclic ring, presented higher affinity for tubulin compared to the carbocyclic analogue 5. Compound 4 showed the best affinity of the series, with an IC50 value of 2.1 μM for microtubule polymerization inhibition and a tubulin dissociation constant of 1.0 ± 0.2 μM, as determined by thermophoresis. Compound 4 was more efficacious in disrupting microtubule assembly in vitro than compound 5 although it contains the trimethoxyphenyl ring present in colchicine. Hydrogen bonds with Asn101 of α-tubulin seem to be responsible for the higher affinity of compound 4 respects to the others.

Interference with microtubule polymerization results in cell cycle arrest leading to cell death. Colchicine is a well-known microtubule polymerization inhibitor which does so by binding to a specific site on tubulin. A set of 3',4'-bis (substituted phenyl)-4'H-spiro[indene-2,5'-isoxazol]-1(3H)-one derivatives with known antiproliferative activities were evaluated for their tubulin binding modes...

متن کاملThe binding of isocolchicine to tubulin. Mechanisms of ligand association with tubulin.
Isocolchicine is a structurally related isomer of colchicine altered in the methoxytropone C ring. In spite of virtual structural homology of colchicine and isocolchicine, isocolchicine is commonly believed to be inactive in binding to tubulin and inhibiting microtubule assembly. We have found that isocolchicine does indeed bind to the colchicine site on tubulin, as demonstrated by its ability ...
متن کاملMolecules in mammalian brain that interact with the colchicine site on tubulin.
Colchicine, a plant alkaloid, is a potent inhibitor of mitosis and other physiological processes that involve microtubules. These effects are mediated by the specific binding of colchicine to a high-affinity receptor site on tubulin, the major protein of microtubules. It seemed possible that the colchicine site on tubulin might also be the receptor for endogenous cellular molecules. We now repo...

Bioassay-guided fractionation was used to isolate the lignan polygamain as the microtubule-active constituent in the crude extract of the Mountain torchwood, Amyris madrensis. Similar to the effects of the crude plant extract, polygamain caused dose-dependent loss of cellular microtubules and the formation of aberrant mitotic spindles that led to G(2)/M arrest. Polygamain has potent antiprolife...
