Abstract

Aim: Breast cancer has been a leading cause of mortality among women worldwide in recent years. Targeting the lysophosphatidic acid(LPA)-LPA1 pathway using small molecules could improve breast cancer therapy. Materials & methods: Thiazolidin-4-ones were developed and tested on MCF-7 cancer cells, and active compounds were analyzed for their effects on apoptosis, migrationangiogenesisand LPA1 protein and gene expression. Results & conclusion: Compounds TZ-4 and TZ-6 effectively reduced the migration of MCF-7 cells, and induced apoptosis. TZ-4, TZ-6, TZ-8 and TZ-14 significantly reduced the LPA1 protein, LPA1 and angiogenesis gene expression in treated MCF-7 cells. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation studies reveal the ligand interactions and stability of the LPA1-ligand complex. Developed thiazolidin-4-ones showed great potential as an LPA1-targeted approach to combating breast cancer.
