Polymer microspheres modified with pyrazole derivatives as potential agents in anticancer therapy - Preliminary studies

The methods of fighting cancer are far from ideal, therefore it is necessary to search for innovative and effective drugs. In our work, we present pyrazole derivatives and their modifications with polymer microspheres as potential anticancer agents. Molecular and crystal structures of pyrazole derivatives were determined an X-ray analysis and characterized by theoretical calculations. Modifications of cross-linked polymer microspheres with pyrazole derivatives were made on the basis of divinylbenzene and glycidyl methacrylate. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of the pyrazole derivatives and their modified microspheres was assessed against a normal cell line, namely monkey epithelial renal cells (GMK) and cancer cell lines, such as human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2), human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) as well as human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549), using the MTT assay. All the tested pyrazole derivatives and the polymer microspheres modified by them showed antiproliferative activity in vitro. Two of the modified substances showed the greatest ability to inhibit divisions of all cancer cells. In order to determine a potential target, molecular docking was performed. In silico studies carried out with the use of the human EphB1 receptor revealed that the analyzed compounds bound to the EphB1 binding site, and the compounds with the highest antiproliferative activity showed a better fit to the active site.
