Three-dimensional (3D) quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies of 44 curcumin-related compounds have been carried out based on our previously reported result for their anticancer activity against pancreas cancer Panc-I cells and colon cancer HT-29 cells. The established 3D-QSAR models from the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) in training set showed not only significant statistical quality, but also satisfying predictive ability, with high correlation coefficient values (R12= 0.911, R22= 0.985) and cross-validation coefficient values (q2= 0.580, q22= 0.722). Based on the CoMFA contour maps, some key structural factors responsible for anticancer activity of these series of compounds were revealed. The results provide some useful theoretical references for understanding the mechanism of action, designing new curcumin-related compounds with anticancer activity and predicting their activities prior to synthesis.

Chlorambucil is a classic nitrogen mustard drug that has been used in the treatment of cancers. It may induce neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and other side effects because of its short lifetime and off-target effect. In this report, chlorambucil-tetrapeptide (AAAK, A3K) conjugate vesicles were developed to improve the stability and bioactivity of chlorambucil. First of all, chlorambucil-A3K conjugate was synthesized by solid phase synthesis strategy. Sec- ondly, the chlorambucil-A3K conjugate was assembled and characterized by critical aggregation concentration, cir- cular dichroism, dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicated that the chlo- rambucil-A3K conjugate can be assembled to form spherical vesicles with an average diameter of 390.5 nm, and high drug loading about 47.1% is reached. Surprisingly, the preliminary biological evaluation of the chlorambu- cil-A3K conjugate vesicles revealed the best in vitro anticancer activity against HeLa, HepG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines compared with chlorambucil and chlorambucil-A3K conjugate free drugs. Furthermore, conjugate vesicles showed excellent in vivo antitumoral activity. It can be partly attributed to their vesicular structure which isolates chloram- bucil active moiety from aqueous solution to retard degradation before killing cancer cells. Therefore, chlorambu- cil-peptide (A3K) conjugate vesicles may be an alternative delivery system of chlorambucil.

The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies on a series of 7,8-dialkyl-1,3-diaminopyrrolo-[3,2-f]quinazolines, dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors as potential anticancer agents, have been carried out by using the density functional theory (DFT) method, molecular mechanics method (MM+) and statistical method. Some QSAR models based on their lipophilic and steric parameters were built up via a stepwise regression analysis. It is very interesting to find that the established optimal QSAR equation involves only two descriptors: lipophilicity indexes Clog P and Clog P^2 However, such descriptors can quite well describe a significant statistic quality and have a remarkable predictive activity according to the square of adjusted correlation coefficient (RA^2 = 0.937) and the square of cross-validation coefficient (q^2=0.911) of this equation. The results show that the lipophilicity is a main factor affecting the anticancer activity of this series of antimetastatic agents, and the obtained equation describes a parabolic correlation between pIC50 and Clog P, and indicates a suitable range of Clog P (around 4.43) being very important for optimal pIC50 values. These QSAR studies can offer some useful references for understanding the action mechanism and performing the molecular design or modification of this series of antimetastatic agents.

7-epi-Taxane has been achieved efficiently in gram scale from natural taxane via inversion of the 7-hydroxyl group simply using Ag20 as catalyst and DMF as solvent. The catalyst could he quantitatively recovered by filtra- tion without loss of catalytic activity. This condition is also applicable to the direct epimerization of taxane derivatives (e.g., docetaxel and paclitaxel) to 7-epi-taxane derivatives (e.g., 7-epi-docetaxel and 7-epi-paclitaxel). Furthermore, 33 ester derivatives of 7-epi-taxane with different amino acid moieties at the position of C-13 were successfully synthesized via esterification without protecting C-7-OH. Bioassay results revealed that compounds 13 and 18 have good selectivity against prostatic cancer cell line DU145, with ICs0 value as low as 15.9 nmol/L for 18.
