Abstract
To improve the selectivity and antiproliferative activity of previously reported serine amide phosphates (SAPs), we designed a new series of 4-thiazolidinone amides, in which the 4-thiazolidinone moiety was introduced as a phosphate mimic. However, these 4-thiazolidinone derivatives demonstrated less cytotoxicity in prostate cancer cells despite improved selectivity over RH7777 cells. To further optimize the thiazolidinone analogues in terms of cytotoxicity and selectivity, we made closely related structural modifications, which led us to the discovery of a new class of 2-arylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid amides. These compounds were potent cytotoxic agents with IC(50) values in the low micromolar concentration range and demonstrated enhanced selectivity in receptor-negative cells compared to SAPs and 4-thiazolidinone amides.
