Unsatisfactory outcomes for relapsed/refractory lymphoma patients prompt continuing efforts to develop new therapeutic strategies. Our previous studies on pyrrole-based anti-lymphoma agents led us to synthesize a new series of twenty-six pyrrolo[3',4':3,4]cyclohepta[1,2-d] [1,2]oxazole derivatives and study their antiproliferative effects against a panel of four non-Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines. Several candidates showed significant anti-proliferative effects, with IC's reaching the sub-micromolar range in at least one cell line, with compound 3z demonstrating sub-micromolar growth inhibitory effects towards the entire panel. The VL51 cell line was the most sensitive, with an IC value of 0.10 μM for 3z. Our earlier studies had shown that tubulin was a prominent target of many of our oxazole derivatives. We therefore examined their effects on tubulin assembly and colchicine binding. While 3u and 3z did not appear to target tubulin, good activity was observed with 3d and 3p. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations allowed us to rationalize the binding mode of the synthesized compounds toward tubulin. All ligands exhibited a better affinity for the colchicine site, confirming their specificity for this binding pocket. In particular, a better affinity and free energy of binding was observed for 3d and 3p. This result was confirmed by experimental data, indicating that, although both 3d and 3p significantly affected tubulin assembly, only 3d showed activity comparable to that of combretastatin A-4, while 3p was about 4-fold less active. Cell cycle analysis showed that compounds 3u and especially 3z induced a block in G2/M, a strong decrease in S phase even at low compound concentrations and apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. Thus, the mechanism of action of 3u and 3z remains to be elucidated. Very high selectivity toward cancer cells and low toxicity in human peripheral blood lymphocytes were observed, highlighting the good potential of these agents in cancer therapy and encouraging further exploration of this compound class to obtain new small molecules as effective lymphoma treatments.
