摘要：The mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) is a critical component of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. It is highly activated in cervical cancer, which continues to pose an important clinical challenge with an urgent need for new and improved therapeutic approaches. Herein, we describe the structure-based drug discovery and biological evaluation of a series of m TOR kinase inhibitors as potential anti-cervical cancer agents. The results of enzymatic activity assays supported C3 as a potential m TOR inhibitor, which exhibited high inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 1.57 μM. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation were conducted to predict the binding patterns, suggesting relationships between structure and activity. The anti-proliferative assay against diverse cancer cell lines was displayed subsequently, revealing that C3 exhibited significant proliferation inhibition against cervical cancer cell He La(IC50=0.38μM) compared with other cell lines. Moreover, C3 could effectively reduce the expression of phospho-ribosomal S6 protein(p-S6) in He La cells in a dose-dependent manner. Noteworthily, m TOR signaling and other cellular pathways might contribute to the significant effect of C3 against cervical cancer simultaneously. These data indicated that C3 represented a good lead molecule for further development as a therapeutic agent for cervical cancer treatment.
