    Abstract Amidinoureas are an understudied class of molecules with unique structural properties and biological activities. A simple methodology has been developed for the synthesis of aliphatic substituted amidinoureas via unexpected cycle opening of benzothiazolo-1,3,5-triazine-2-ones and transamination reaction of N-(N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)carbamimidoyl)aniline-1-carboxamide in good yields. A novel series of amidinoureas derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for its antiproliferative activity on an aggressive metastatic melanoma A375 cell line model. This evaluation reveals antiproliferative activities in the low micromolar range and establishes a first structure-activity relationship. In addition, analogues selected for their structural diversity were assayed on a panel of cancer cell lines through the DTP-NCI60, on which they showed effectiveness on various cancer types, with promising activities on melanoma cells for two hit compounds. This work paves the way for further optimization of this family of compounds towards the development of potent antimelanoma agents.

    Abstract By targeting the tumor microenvironment to stimulate antitumor immunity, immunotherapies have revolutionized cancer treatment. However, many patients do not respond initially or develop secondary resistance. Based on the limited resources in the tumor microenvironment and competition between tumor and immune cells, the field of immune metabolism has produced extensive knowledge showing that targeting metabolism could help to modulate antitumor immunity. However, among all the different potentially targetable metabolic pathways, it remains unclear which have more potential to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Here, we explore metabolic reprogramming in cancer cells, which might inhibit antitumor immunity, and strategies that can be used to favor the antitumor response.

    Abstract Metformin is the most common biguanide used in the treatment of diabetes, with 120 million treated patients worldwide. Metformin decreases hyperglycemia without inducing hypoglycemia in diabetic patients and is very well tolerated. The principal effects of metformin are to decrease hepatic gluconeogenesis and increase glucose absorption by skeletal muscles. These effects are primarily due to metformin's action on mitochondria, which requires the activation of metabolic checkpoint AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is implicated in several pathways, and following metformin activation, it decreases protein synthesis and cell proliferation. Many studies have examined the role of metformin in the regulation of cancer cells, particularly its effects on cancer cell proliferation and cell death. Encouraging results have been obtained in different types of cancers, including prostate, breast, lung, and skin cancers (melanoma). Furthermore, many retrospective epidemiological studies in diabetes patients have shown that metformin treatment decreased the risk of cancers compared with other antidiabetic treatments. In this review, we will discuss the effects of metformin on melanoma cells. Together, our novel data demonstrate the importance of developing metformin and new biguanide-derived compounds as potential treatments against a number of different cancers, particularly melanoma.

    Abstract Biguanides have attracted much attention a century ago and showed resurgent interest in recent years after a long period of dormancy. They constitute an important class of therapeutic agents suitable for the treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases. Therapeutic indications of biguanides include antidiabetic, antimalarial, antiviral, antiplaque, and bactericidal applications. This review presents an extensive overview of the biological activity of biguanides and different mechanisms of action of currently marketed biguanide-containing drugs, as well as their pharmacological properties when applicable. We highlight the recent developments in research on biguanide compounds, with a primary focus on studies on metformin in the field of oncology. We aim to provide a critical overview of all main bioactive biguanide compounds and discuss future perspectives for the design of new drugs based on the biguanide fragment.

    Abstract Treatment of melanoma has significantly advanced over the last decade, with the development of targeted therapies against the MAPK pathway and immunotherapies to reactivate antitumor immunity. Unfortunately, currently more than 50% of patients are in treatment failure. Thus, identification of new common cellular vulnerability among melanoma cells is an urgent need and will help in the discovery of more efficient treatments against melanoma. We have focused our study on protein processing and have identified a new compound, HA15, targeting HSPA5/BiP, the master regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR). By inhibiting HSPA5 specifically, our molecule increases the UPR and leads to the death of cancer cells by concomitant induction of autophagy and apoptosis, an effect seen both in vitro and in vivo. Our study provides compelling evidence to support the idea that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inducers could be useful as a new therapeutic approach in melanoma treatment.

    Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease whereby long-term disease control remains a challenge for the patients. Latest evidence suggests that combined topical treatment with steroids and vitamin D analogue foam (Calcipotriol/Betamethasone) is efficient in long-term management of the disease and reducing the number of relapses. Its effects on cellular inflammation and cytokine production remain to be explored. We set out to examine the effect of topical therapies on cellular infiltrate and cytokine profile in the lesional skin of psoriasis patients. This was a monocentric, double-blind, randomized trial with 30 patients. Patients were treated with the combined Calcipotriol/Betamethasone foam, Betamethasone foam alone, Clobetasol Propionate ointment or placebo. 4 mm skin biopsies from lesional and non-lesional sites were taken before and 4 weeks after treatment. Cellular infiltrate, IFNγ and IL-17 were studied by immunofluorescence. Each patient was their own control. Evolution in skin inflammation was studied in parallel with changes in patient's epidermal thickness and their tPASI clinical score. Lesional skin was characterized by increased epidermal thickness, increased number of IL-17 and IFNγ producing CD8+ T cells, NK cells and neutrophils. All treatment reduced epidermal thickness and improved patients tPASI scores. Only the combined Calcipotriol/Betamethasone foam completely abolished epidermal and dermal influx of CD8+ T cells, reduced number of CD8 + IFNγ+ cells (but not CD8 + IL-17+ cells) and significantly reduced the number of MPO+ neutrophils which were predominantly IL-17+. None of the treatments had effect on NK cells. We have shown the combined topical treatment with Calcipotriol/Betamethasone foam to be effective in reducing cellular influx into lesional skin of psoriasis patients and this effect to be superior to emollient or Betamethasone alone. Its previously described efficacy in the clinic may be attributed to its unique and rapid ability to inhibit both adaptive CD8+ T cell and innate immune neutrophilia influx into the skin, which was not observed for the other treatments.

    Abstract Sulfonylguanidines are interesting bioactive compounds with a broad range of applications in the treatment of different pathologies. 2-Aminobenzazole-based structures are well employed in the development of new anticancer drugs. Two series of novel N-benzazol-2-yl-N'-sulfonyl guanidine derivatives were synthesized with the sulfonylguanidine in either an extra- or intracyclic frame. They were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against malignant melanoma tumor cells, thus allowing structure-activity relationships to be defined. Additionally, NCI-60 screening was performed for the best analogue to study its efficiency against a panel of other cancer cell lines. The stability profile of this promising compound was then validated. During the synthetic process, an unexpected new deamidination of the sulfonylguanidine towards sulfonamide function was also identified.
