Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological malignancy characterized by aberrant myeloid cell proliferation, and the emergence of drug resistance to conventional tyrosine kinase inhibitors necessitates novel antitumor agents. Based on the pharmacophore of indole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, and benzenesulfonamide, which possess antitumor potential, 30 novel hybrid derivatives were designed and synthesized, aiming to enhance activity and selectivity. Among these compounds, N-(5-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-3,4,5-trifluorobenzenesulfonamide (XL-10) demonstrated potent antiproliferative effects against CML K562 cells, exhibiting an IC50 value of (6.69±0.35) μmol/L. Mechanistic investigations revealed that XL-10 induced apoptosis in K562 cells by disrupting redox homeostasis, as evidenced by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and reduced mitochondrial membrane potential. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that XL-10 arrests K562 cells at the G2/M phase through regulation of key cell cycle proteins including Cyclin B1 and Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), while Western blot assays confirmed its modulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K-AKT) signaling pathways. These findings elucidate the antitumor mechanisms of XL-10 and highlight its potential as a promising lead compound for the development of targeted CML therapies.
