Abstract
We designed and synthesized a series of HECT (homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus) domain binding inhibitors based on indole-3-carbinol (I3C) by structure-based rational drug design . Thermal shift and MTT assays indicated that compound A3 had a good HECT domain binding capacity and potent breast cancer cells inhibition activity, respectively. Subsequent studies showed that compound A3 inhibited proliferation and invasion, induced apoptosis and S-phase cell block. Additionally, compound A3 altered the expression of apoptosis and cell cycle related protein in MDA-MB-231 cells. Finally, computational simulation indicated the proposed binding mode of A3 with the NEDD4–1 HECT domain.
