Broad-Spectrum Anticancer Activity and Pharmacokinetic Properties of a Prenyloxy-Substituted Indeno[1,2-b]indole Derivative, Discovered as CK2 Inhibitor

Résumé

Protein kinase CK2 is involved in regulating cellular processes, such as cell cycle, proliferation, migration, and apoptosis, making it an attractive anticancer target. We previously described a prenyloxy-substituted indeno[1,2-b]indole (5-isopropyl-4-(3-methylbut-2-enyloxy)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroindeno[1,2-b]indole-9,10-dione (4p)) as a very potent inhibitor of CK2 holoenzyme (IC50 = 25 nM). Here, we report the broad-spectrum anticancer activity of 4p and provide substantial progress on its pharmacokinetic properties. Using a cell-based CK2 activity assay and live-cell imaging of cultured A431, A549, and LNCaP cancer cell lines, cellular CK2 target engagement was shown as well as strong antiproliferative, anti-migratory and apoptosis-inducing effects of 4p. Furthermore, evidence was found for the ability of 4p to disrupt A549 spheroid cohesion. A series of LC-MS/MS experiments revealed high and rapid cellular uptake (intracellular concentration is approximately 5 µM after 1 h incubation) and low metabolic stability of 4p. These results point to the value of 4p as a potent CK2 inhibitor with promising anticancer activities and should trigger future medicinal chemistry efforts to improve the drug-like properties of this compound.
