Exploring Biginelli-based scaffolds as A adenosine receptor antagonists: Unveiling novel structure-activity relationship trends, lead compounds, and potent colorectal anticancer agents

Antagonists of the A2B adenosine receptor have recently emerged as targeted anticancer agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors within the realm of cancer immunotherapy. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of novel Biginelli-assembled pyrimidine chemotypes, including mono-, bi-, and tricyc...

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of novel Biginelli-assembled pyrimidine chemotypes, including mono-, bi-, and tricyclic derivatives, as A2BAR antagonists. We conducted a comprehensive examination of the adenosinergic profile (both binding and functional) of a large compound library consisting of 168 compounds. This approach unveiled original lead compounds and enabled the identification of novel structure-activity relationship (SAR) trends, which were supported by extensive computational studies, including quantum mechanical calculations and free energy perturbation (FEP) analysis. In total, 25 molecules showed attractive affinity (Ki < 100 nM) and outstanding selectivity for A2BAR. From these, five molecules corresponding to the new benzothiazole scaffold were below the Ki < 10 nM threshold, in addition to a novel dual A2A/A2B antagonist. The most potent compounds, and the dual antagonist, showed enantiospecific recognition in the A2BAR. Two A2BAR selective antagonists and the dual A2AAR/A2BAR antagonist reported in this study were assessed for their impact on colorectal cancer cell lines. The results revealed a significant and dose-dependent reduction in cell proliferation. Notably, the A2BAR antagonists exhibited remarkable specificity, as they did not impede the proliferation of non-tumoral cell lines. These findings support the efficacy and potential that A2BAR antagonists as valuable candidates for cancer therapy, but also that they can effectively complement strategies involving A2AAR antagonism in the context of immune checkpoint inhibition.Elsevier20242024-04-0120242024-04-01research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.13003/24962reponame:Docusalutinstname:Conselleria de Salut i Consum del Govern de les Illes BalearsInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:docusalut.com:20.500.13003/249622026-06-22T12:44:07Z
