Abstract:
A series of novel 3-(thiophen-2-ylthio)pyridine derivatives as insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) inhibitors was designed and synthesized. IGF-1R kinase inhibitory activities and cytotoxicities against HepG2 and WSU-DLCL2 cell lines were tested. For all of these compounds, potent cancer cell proliferation inhibitory activities were observed, but not through the inhibition of IGR-1R. Selected compounds were further screened against various kinases. Typical compound 22 (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50 ] values, HepG2: 2.98 ± 1.11 μM and WSU-DLCL2: 4.34 ± 0.84 μM) exhibited good inhibitory activities against fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 (FGFR2), FGFR3, epidermal growth factor receptor, Janus kinase, and RON (receptor originated from Nantes), with IC50 values ranging from 2.14 to 12.20 μM. Additionally, the cell-cycle analysis showed that compound 22 could arrest HepG2 cells in the G1/G0 phase. Taken together, all the experiments confirmed that the compounds in this series were multitarget anticancer agents worth further optimizing.

Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
