Abstract
The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) has been reported as a key mediator in inflammatory processes and cancer invasion/metastasis. In this study, we report the discovery of novel P2X7R antagonists and their functional activities as potential anti-metastatic agents. Modifications of the hydantoin core-skeleton and the side chain substituents of P2X7R antagonist, 7 were performed. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) and optimization demonstrated the importance of the sulfonyl group at the R1 position, and the substituted position and overall size of R2 for P2X7R antagonism. The optimized novel analogs displayed potent P2X7 receptor antagonism (IC50 = 0.11-112 nM) along with significant suppressive effects on IL-1β release (IC50 = 0.32-210 nM). Moreover, representative antagonists (12g, 13k, and 17d) with imidazole and uracil core skeletons significantly inhibited the invasion of MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer cells and cancer cell migration in a zebrafish xenograft model, suggesting potential therapeutic application of these novel P2X7 antagonists to block metastatic cancer.
