• Minor Groove Binders (MGBs) possess activity against the melanoma cancer cell line B16-F10.
• 5 MGBs have been identified that have IC50s less than that of a standard therapy, Gemcitabine.
• Lead compound around >70 more active than Gemcitabine and a favourable selectivity index of >125.
A series of 47 structurally diverse MGBs, derived from the natural product distamycin, was evaluated for anti-lung cancer activity by screening against the melanoma cancer cell line B16-F10. Five compounds have been found to possess significant activity, more so than a standard therapy, Gemcitabine. Moreover, one compound has been found to have an activity around 70-fold that of Gemcitabine and has a favourable selectivity index of greater than 125. Furthermore, initial studies have revealed this compound to be metabolically stable and thus it represents a lead for further optimisation towards a novel treatment for lung cancer.
