Effects of immunomodulatory derivatives of thalidomide (IMiDs) and their analogs on cell-differentiation, cyclooxygenase activity and angiogenesis.

Various analogs of known immunomodulatory derivatives of thalidomide (1) (IMiDs: 3, 5) were synthesized, focusing on cell-differentiation-inducing, cyclooxygenase-inhibitory and anti-angiogenesis activities. Among the prepared compounds, NIDO-33 (14) showed cell differentiation-inducing activity on HL-60 cells and anti-angiogenic activity on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). AIDO-00 (7) also showed anti-angiogenic activity. NIDO-11 (8) showed an enhancing effect on all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced HL-60 cell differentiation, and AIDO-30 (13) exhibited cyclooxygenase (COX)-inhibitory activity.

Angiogenesis inhibitors derived from thalidomide.

5-Hydroxy-2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (5HPP-33: 10), which was obtained during our previous structural development studies on thalidomide, was revealed to possess potent anti-angiogenic activity in a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) assay. Thalidomide (1) and its metabolite, 5-hydroxythalidomide (5-HT: 2), which possesses a hydroxyl group at the position corresponding to that of 5HPP-33, as well as IMiDs (immunomodulatory derivatives of thalidomide: 3 and 5), also showed weak or moderate activity in the same assay.
