Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of benzamide derivatives as novel NTCP inhibitors that induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells.
Sodium taurocholate cotransport polypeptide (NTCP) plays an important role in the development of hepatitis and acts as a switch to allow hepatitis virus to enter hepatic cells. As the entry receptor protein of hepatitis virus, NTCP is also an effective target for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Herein, twenty-five benzamide analogues were synthesized based on the virtual screening design and their anti-proliferative activities against HepG2 cells were evaluated in vitro. Compound 35 was found to be promising, with an IC Topics: Antineoplastic Agents; Antiviral Agents; Apoptosis; Benzamides; Drug Design; Hep G2 Cells; Hepatitis B; Hepatitis B virus; Humans; Molecular Docking Simulation; Organic Anion Transporters, Sodium-Dependent; Symporters; Virus Internalization | 2019 |
