Here we explored new 1,5-disubstituted pyrrolidin-2-ones 1, 2 and 5-aryl-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline-1(2H)-ones 3 as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. We evaluated their effects on microtubule dynamics in vitro and on the proliferation of A549 cells, using flow cytometry-based cell cycle analysis. The results were verified with phase-contrast microscopy in three cancer cell lines: A549, HeLa and MCF-7. Guided by molecular modeling of the interactions between tubulin and the most active of the identified compounds, we designed, synthesized, and tested the 3-hydroxyphenyl-substituted compound 3c. This compound was further shown to bind to the colchicine site of tubulin and reduce microtubule growth rates in vitro. Moreover, compound 3c arrested division of the A549 cells in the low micromolar range (IC50 = 5.9 μM) and exhibited cytotoxicity against four different cell lines in the MTT assay for cell proliferation. Our findings demonstrate that 5-aryltetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline-1(2H)-one is a promising scaffold for the development of novel tubulin polymerization inhibitors.
