Design, synthesis, biological evaluation of 2,3‐diphenyl‐cycloalkyl pyrazole derivatives as potential tubulin polymerization inhibitors

2019 
: Several novel cycloalkyl-fused 2,3-diaryl pyrazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potential anti-tubulin agents. Compound A10 exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity against a panel of cancer lines (IC50  = 0.78-2.42 μM) and low cytotoxicity against 293T & L02 (CC50 values of 131.74 and 174.89 μM, respectively). Moreover, A10 displayed inhibition of tubulin polymerization in vitro, arrested the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, changed morphology of tubulin, increased intracellular reactive oxygen species, and induced apoptosis of HeLa cells. Docking simulation and 3D-QSAR models were performed to elaborate on the anti-tubulin mechanism of the derivatives. The inhibition of monoclonal colony formation provided more intuitional data to verify the possibility of A10 as a novel tubulin assembling inhibitor.
