Abstract

Aim: This study investigates the anti-proliferative potential and possible molecular mechanisms of 3-(2-furoyl)-indole derivatives against HepG2.

Method: Identified hit compounds (4a, 4b, 4c) using MTT screening, were further investigated for their efficacy and mechanism of action through FACS studies, in-silico molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and label-free quantitative proteome and ADMET prediction.

Results: Lead compound 4a, showed IC50 of 27 µM against HepG2 cells and a binding score of -8.077 kcal/mol against IGF-1 R (PDB ID: 5XFS) and formed a stable complex 100 ns. Proteomic study revealed significant downregulation of the IGF-1 R downstream signaling molecules and showed minimal toxicity and favorable drug-like properties.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that 4a is a promising IGF-1 R inhibitor and potential drug candidate against drug resistance hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

期刊介绍： Future Medicinal Chemistry offers a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of the latest milestones in the field. Strong emphasis is placed on ensuring that the journal stimulates awareness of issues that are anticipated to play an increasingly central role in influencing the future direction of pharmaceutical chemistry. Where relevant, contributions are also actively encouraged on areas as diverse as biotechnology, enzymology, green chemistry, genomics, immunology, materials science, neglected diseases and orphan drugs, pharmacogenomics, proteomics and toxicology.
