The discovery of a new class of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitors has been achieved via developing novel 2-imino-5-arylidene-thiazolidine analogues. A novel synthetic method employing a solid support-mediated reaction was used to construct the targeted thiazolidines through a cascade reaction with good yields. The chemical and physical stability of the new thiazolidine library has successfully been achieved by blocking the labile C5-position to aerobic oxidation. A cell viability study was performed using esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (KYSE-30 and KYSE-150) and non-tumorous esophageal epithelial cell lines (HET-1A and NES-G4T) through utilization of an MTT assay, revealing that (Z)-5-((Z)-4-bromobenzylidene)-N-(4-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-4,4-dimethylthiazolidin-2-imine (6g) was the best compound among the synthesized library in terms of selectivity. DAPI staining experiments were performed to visualize the morphological changes and to investigate the apoptotic activity. Moreover, western blots were used to probe the mechanism/pathway behind the observed activity/selectivity of thiazolidine 6g which established selective inhibition of phosphorylation in the ERK pathway. Molecular modeling techniques have been utilized to confirm the observed activity. A molecular docking study revealed similar binding interactions between the synthesized thiazolidines and reported co-crystalized inhibitors with ERK proteins. Thus, the present study provides a starting point for the development of interesting bioactive 2-imino-5-arylidene-thiazolidines.
