Abstract

The selective inhibition of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory eicosanoids represents a promising approach for cancer therapy. This study, therefore, focuses on the incorporation of metabolically stable, sterically demanding, and hydrophobic carboranes into existing dual cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2)/5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors that are key enzymes in the biosynthesis of eicosanoids. Here, the first carborane-containing dual COX-2/5-LO inhibitors derived from RWJ-63556 are presented. The replacement of the fluorophenyl moiety by meta- or para-carborane resulted in five carborane-containing derivatives 3, 6, 9, 13, and 17 that show high inhibitory activities toward COX-2 and 5-LO in vitro. Cell viability studies on the A375 melanoma cell line revealed that meta-carborane derivative 3 shows higher anticancer activity compared to RWJ-63556 based on accumulation of lipid droplets in the cells due to blockage of the COX-2 and 5-LO pathways, indicating a promising approach for the design of potent dual COX-2/5-LO inhibitors.
