Abstract
Dual-specific phosphatases Cdc25 play a critical role in the cell cycle regulation by activating kinases of Cdk/cyclin complexes. Three Cdc25 isoforms (A, B and C) have been identified in mammalians. Cdc25A and B display oncogenic properties and are over-expressed in different tumors. Cdc25 phosphatases are therefore attractive targets for therapeutic strategies. Novel maleic anhydride derivatives bearing a fatty acid chain of variable size have been synthesized and tested for their Cdc25 inhibitory potential using an in vitro assay. We report biological activity of ineffective, moderate, and efficient inhibitors on breast cancer cells (MCF7) and its counterpart resistant to vincristine (Vcr-R). The most potent compounds induced Cdk2 inhibition and accumulation in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, apoptosis was triggered within 48-h treatment, without oxidative burst and modulation of the Bax to Bcl-2 ratio. When used as pre-treatments, these derivatives were also able to potentiate adriamycin and cisplatin toxicity in both cell lines. Thus, maleic anhydride derivatives may mediate apoptosis through a cell cycle blockage via inhibition of Cdc25. This class of inhibitors may present potential interest in therapeutic strat...Continue Reading
