The upregulation of the protein myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) is closely associated with various human cancers, which can result in the evasion of apoptosis and a low survival rate. Therefore, developing Mcl-1 inhibitors has become a promising paradigm for cancer therapy. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel series of tyrosine derivatives, among which compounds (I) (R1 = 3,5-di-Me-4-Cl-Ph, X = H, R2 = OBut, n = 2; R1 = 3,5-di-Me-4-Cl-Ph, X = H, R2 = Ph, n = 1; R1 = naphthyl, X = Br, R2 = 4-Me-benzyl, n = 1) exhibited very high binding affinity to Mcl-1 with Ki values of 0.18, 0.27 and 0.23μM, resp. Interestingly, compound I (R1 = 3,5-di-Me-4-Cl-Ph, X = H, R2 = Ph, n = 1) showed not only potent activity against Mcl-1 but also considerable selectivity over Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, which was rationalized by mol. docking and fragment-centric topog. mapping (FCTM). It is worth noting that compounds I (R1 = 3,5-di-Me-4-Cl-Ph, X = H, R2 = OBut, n = 2; R1 = 3,5-di-Me-4-Cl-Ph, X = H, R2 = Ph, n = 1; R1 = naphthyl, X = Br, R2 = 4-Me-benzyl, n = 1) displayed potent antiproliferative activity against several cancer cell lines and could induce apoptosis of KM3 and HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
