Identification of 2,3,6-trisubstituted quinoxaline derivatives as a Wnt2/β-catenin pathway inhibitor in non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Oct 1;20(19):5900-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.07.088. Epub 2010 Jul 29.

Abstract

We screened 1434 small heterocyclic molecules and identified thirteen 2,3,6-trisubstituted quinoxaline derivatives that were able to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway and cell proliferation. In the screen, some of the hit compounds such as the ethylene group-coupled quinoxaline derivatives were shown to hold promise for use as potential small-molecule inhibitors of the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines.
