    Abstract A promising approach in cancer therapy is the inhibition of cell proliferation using small molecules. In this study, we report the synthesis of suramin derivatives and their applications. We used NMR spectroscopy and docking simulations to confirm binding sites and three-dimensional models of the ligand-protein complex. The WST-1 assay was used to assess cell viability and cell proliferation in vitro to evaluate the inhibition of protein–protein interactions and to investigate the anti-proliferative activities in a breast cancer cell line. All the suramin derivatives showed anti-proliferative activity by blocking FGF1 binding to its receptor FGFRD2. The dissociation constant was measured by fluorescence spectroscopy. The suramin compound derivatives synthesized herein show potential as novel therapeutic agents for their anti-proliferative activity via the inhibition of protein–protein interactions. The cytotoxicity of these suramin derivatives was lower than that of the parent suramin compound, which may be considered a significant advancement in this field. Thus, these novel suramin derivatives may be considered superior anti-metastasis molecules than those of suramin.

    Abstract: About 50% of human cancers across the globe arise due to a mutation in the p53 gene which gives rise to its functional inactive form, and in the rest of the cancer the efficacy of active p53 (wild-type) is hindered by MDM2-mediated degradation. Breakdown ...

    Abstract About 50% of human cancers across the globe arise due to a mutation in the p53 gene which gives rise to its functional inactive form, and in the rest of the cancer the efficacy of active p53 (wild-type) is hindered by MDM2-mediated degradation. Breakdown of the p53-MDM2 association may constitute an effective strategy to stimulate or reinstate the activity of wild type p53, thereby reviving the p53 tumor suppressor capability. S100A1 has been revealed to associate with the N-terminal domain of MDM2 and p53 protein. We utilized NMR spectroscopy to study the interface amongst the S100A1 and N-terminal domain of MDM2. Additionally, the S100A1-MDM2 complex generated through the HADDOCK program was then superimposed with the p53 (peptide) -MDM2 complex reported earlier. The overlay indicated that a segment of S100A1 could block the interaction of p53 (peptide) -MDM2 complex significantly. To further justify our assumption, we performed HSQC-NMR titration for the S100A1 and p53 N-terminal domain (p53-TAD). The data obtained indicated that the S100A1 segment comprising nearly 17 residues have some common residues that interact with both MDM2 and p53-TAD. Further, we synthesized the 17-residue peptide derived from the S100A1 protein and attached it to the cell-penetrating HIV-TAT peptide. The HSQC-NMR competitive binding experiment revealed that Peptide 1 could successfully interfere with the p53-MDM2 interaction. Furthermore, functional effects of the peptide was validated in cancer cells. The results showed that Peptide 1 effectively inhibited cell proliferation, and increased the protein levels of p53 and its downstream p21 in MCF-7 cells. Treatment of Peptide 1 resulted in cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, and also induced apoptotic cell death at higher concentration. Taken together, the results suggest that disruption of the interaction of p53 and MDM2 by Peptide 1 could activate normal p53 functions, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death in cancer cells. We proposed here that S100A1 could influence ...

    Abstract Metastasis-associated S100A4 protein is a small calcium-binding protein typically overexpressed in several tumor forms, and it is widely accepted that S100A4 plays a significant role in the metastasis of cancer. Tumor suppressor p53 is one of the S100A4's main targets. Previous reports show that through p53, S100A4 regulates collagen expression and cell proliferation. When S100A4 interacts with p53, the S100A4 destabilizes wild type p53. In the current study, based on

    Abstract Metastasis-associated S100A4 protein is a small calcium-binding protein typically overexpressed in several tumor forms, and it is widely accepted that S100A4 plays a significant role in the metastasis of cancer. Tumor suppressor p53 is one of the S100A4's main targets. Previous reports show that through p53, S100A4 regulates collagen expression and cell proliferation. When S100A4 interacts with p53, the S100A4 destabilizes wild type p53. In the current study, based on ¹H–¹⁵N HSQC NMR experiments and HADDOCK results, S100A4 interacts with the intrinsically unstructured transactivation domain (TAD) of the protein p53 and the pentamidine molecules in the presence of calcium ions. Our results suggest that the p53 TAD and pentamidine molecules share similar binding sites on the S100A4 protein. This observation indicates that a competitive binding mechanism can interfere with the binding of S100A4-p53 and increase the level of p53. Also, we compare different aspects of p53 activity in the WST-1 test using MCF 7 cells. We found that the presence of a pentamidine molecule results in higher p53 activity, which is also reflected in less cell proliferation. Collectively, our results indicate that disrupting the S100A4-p53 interaction would prevent cancer progression, and thus S100A4-p53 inhibitors provide a new avenue for cancer therapy.
