Abstract:

The small chemical compound 8-ethoxy-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-nitro-2H-chromene (S14161) was recently identified as an inhibitor of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). In the present study, we designed a novel synthesis of S14161 and prepared a series of its analogues via the oxa-Michael-Henry reaction in the presence of catalytic amounts of l-proline and triethylamine. Further structural simplification led to the identification of 6-bromo-8-ethoxy-3-nitro-2H-chromene (BENC-511) that exhibited potent antiproliferative activities against a panel of 12 tumor cell lines. Compared with S14161, BENC-511 was more potent in blocking the AKT phosphorylation and inducing cancer cell apoptosis. BENC-511 also displayed more potent effects on human umbilical vein epithelial cells (HUVEC) migration, suggesting its anti-angiogenesis activity.
