To evaluate a series of 2-substituted thiazolo[3,2-α]benzimidazolones as potential transcription inhi- bitors. Methods. Compounds were tested in a model transcription system based on T7 RNA polymerase. Results. The testing revealed a number of compounds able to inhibit transcription at micromolar concentrations. The most active inhibitor was dihydroxy derivative BT29 with IC50 = 1.6 µM. Conclusions. Structure-functional dependence of the activity of tested compounds as transcription inhibitors was found. The key structural feature required for their high activity is a presence of hydroxy or dialkylamino group at p- or m-position of arylidene fragment. Keywords: thiazolo[3,2-α]benzimidazolones, transcription inhibitors, T7 RNA polymerase. Introduction. Transcription is a key process required for cellular growth and replication. Specific inhibition of this process is a way to suppress viruses, bacteria and cancer cells. The search for novel transcription inhi- bitors remains one of the main directions of medicinal chemistry and drug design [1]. Molecular shape often determines the interactions of small molecules with biological targets, and shape complementarity is a critically important factor in the recognition. The notion that molecules with similar 3D shapes tend to have similar biological activity has been fully recognized and implemented in drug discovery [2]. The literature search revealed that many transcrip- tion inhibitors were conjugated heteroaromatic compo- unds with S-like molecular shape. Molecular shape concept [2] allowed us to assume that 2-arylidene-sub- stituted thiazolo[3,2-α]benzimidazoles, S-shaped mo- lecules, could be inhibitors of RNA polymerases. These structures contain rigid bent tricyclic scaffold poten- tially able to interact with DNA thus affecting DNA- based enzymatic systems, with a relatively flexible arylidene fragment which can contain various sub- stituents to ensure the efficient fitting to polymerase target, and a number of hydrogen bonding centers. So we designed a small library of 2-arylidene-[1,3]thiazo- lo[3,2-α]benzimidazol-3(2H)-ones (benzimidazothia- zolones, BT) and studied their transcription inhibition activity. The in vitro screening was performed in a mo- del transcription system based on bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP). 508 ISSN 0233-7657. Biopolymers and Cell. 2010. Vol. 26. N 6. P. 508–511  Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics NAS of Ukraine, 2010 N N S O R BT R – aryl, heteroaryl The transcription performed by this small single-subunit DNA-dependent RNA polymerase is fast and efficient and does not require ancillary transcription factors. Its mechanism of action has been thoroughly studied [3, 4], and the crystal structure is known [5] allowing the computer modeling of ligand binding to the transcription complex. Moreover, the structure of its active site is similar to that of other viral, bacterial and eukaryotic polymerases [5, 6]. T7 RNAP is thus a reliable in vitro model used for the studies of transcription [3–6] and mechanism of action of DNA- binding drugs [7–10]. This system was proposed in our previous papers for the screening of nucleic acids synthesis inhibitors [11–13]. Materials and Methods. T7 RNA polymerase and other components of the in vitro transcription reaction were purchased from «Fermentas» (Lithuania). 2-Arylidene-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-α]benzimidazol-3(2H)- ones were prepared by three-step protocol based on me- thods [14, 15] (details will be published elsewhere). In vitro transcription assay. The screening was per- formed according to our protocol [11]. Reaction pro- ducts were separated by electrophoresis in 1.2 % agarose gel. Gels stained with ethidium bromide were photographed with FujiFilm FinePix S5600 digital camera, and images were processed using TotallLab 1.10 software. Inhibition activity was determined by comparing the amount of RNA produced in test reactions with that in a control (no inhibitor). IC50 and IC90 values (con- centrations required for 50 and 90 % inhibition) were obtained from the concentration-activity plots. At least 3 independent experiments were performed for each compound. Standard deviations were below 10 %, ex- cept for BT23 where higher spread of data was ob- served (± 15 %). Results and Discussion. Thiazolo[3,2-α]benzimi- dazoles have a wide range of biological activity [16]. Among 2-arylidene-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-α]benzimidazol- 3(2H)-ones were found antihelmintics [14], antibacte- rial agents [16], inhibitors of ubiquitin ligase [17] and other enzymes, and they may be used for the treatment of viral and inflammatory diseases, neurological disor- ders and cancer. In addition, some isosteric thiazolo[3, 4-α]benzimidazoles inhibit enteroviruses [18] and tu- mors [19]. A series of 29 BT compounds containing aromatic and heteroaromatic arylidene fragments with halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy and dialkylamino substituents at va- rious positions were synthesized. The testing was per- formed in an assay system involving T7 RNA poly- merase. RNA was produced by T7 RNAP from linea- rized DNA template (pTZ19R plasmid containing T7 promoter and a 341 b. p. insert from which RNA trans- cript is synthesized). All compounds were preliminary tested at the con- centration of 25 µg/ml (70–80 µM, depending on the structure). In vitro transcription assay revealed the in- hibition of transcription by most BT compounds. The results allowed us to evaluate the influence of arylidene substituent structure on biological activity. Six com- pounds (Table), that completely inhibited polymerase 509 INHIBITION OF IN VITRO TRANSCRIPTION BY 2-ARYLIDENE DERIVATIVES Compound R IC90, µg/ml IC50, µg/ml IC90, М IC50, М ВТ11 16.0 8.0 5.4⋅10–5 2.7⋅10–5 ВТ15 15.0 3.3 4.6⋅10–5 1.0⋅10–5 ВТ16 12.5 2.8 4.4⋅10–5 9.8⋅10–6 ВТ19 10.6 4.2 3.0⋅10–5 1.2⋅10–5 ВТ23 14.1 6.4 4.8⋅10–5 2.2⋅10–5 ВТ29 0.7 0.5 2.3⋅10–6 1.6⋅10–6 Transcription inhibition activity of thiazolobenzimidazolone derivatives in T7 RNA polymerase assay OH O O S NEt2 OH OH OH at 25 µg/ml (inhibition above 99 %), were selected for further investigation. Detailed study of the activity-concentration depen- dence of these compounds allowed determining their IC90 and IC50 values. A series of reactions with T7 RNAP was carried out with 2-fold inhibitor dilution at each next step. Five independent experiments were performed with all these BT compounds at each tested concentration. The activity plots were built by calcu- lating the RNA product yield as a function of inhibitor concentration (Figure). IC90 and IC50 values were found from the plots by extrapolation. As can be seen from Figure, derivative BT29 demonstrated a very high activity and completely inhibited transcription at con- centration below 1 µg/ml. An additional set of reac- tions at lower concentrations was performed to find that its IC50 is 1.6 µM. The other five compounds have IC50 in the range of 10–27 µM (Table). Local deviation from linearity of the plot was ob- served for the compound BT19 that appeared as se- eming enzyme stimulation at the concentration range of 2–3 µg/ml (Figure). A similar effect was reported for T7 RNA polymerase inhibition by pyrrolo[2,1-c][1, 4]benzodiazepines [8], although the authors were unab- le to provide any explanation. We suppose that this deviation may indicate the presence of two binding sites for BT19 on the poly- merase or its complex with DNA template, or two dis- tinct binding modes. Mechanism of this effect will be the subject of the future study. The analysis of experimental data revealed that the activity of BT compounds depended on the structure of arylidene fragment. The presence of halogen or mul- tiple methoxy substituents in arylidene fragment signi- ficantly decreases the activity as compared to un- substituted derivative (R = Ph, 94 % inhibition at 25 µg/ml)). The activity of compounds with heteroaryl moiety depends on its nature. Thiophen derivative almost totally inhibits RNA synthesis at 25 µg/ml, whi- le 3- and 4-pyridyl derivatives are inactive; only 2-py- ridyl derivative has noticeable activity (86 % inhibition at 25 µg/ml). Structure-activity relationship data sug- gest that the key feature of the most active compounds is the presence at p- or m-position of arylidene ring (but not at o-position) of either ОН, alkoxy or dialkylamino group, i. e. functions able to form hydrogen and donor- acceptor bonds. The introduction of both о- and п-ОН substituents into the structure of ВТ29 led to the dra- matic increase of inhibitory activity. Conclusions. A number of 2-aryliden-[1,3]thia- zolo[3,2-α]benzimidazol-3(2H)-ones efficiently inhi- bit transcription in the T7 RNAP-based in vitro assay at micromolar concentrations. The dihydroxy derivative BT29 is the most active polymerase inhibitor with IC50 1.6 µM. The structure of this compound will be further optimized using computer modeling to develop more efficient inhibitors. In our opinion, high activity of BT compounds in vitro allows to consider them potential antiviral drugs. Л. Г. Паль чи ко вська, І. В. Алeксєєва, В. В. Нег руць ка, Ю. К. Кос тюк, Т. М.
