Alkylglycerone phosphate synthase (AGPS) is an oncogene and can be considered as an antitumor drug target. The aim of the present study was to design novel nitrogenous heterocyclic compound improving targetability by computer-aided drug design technology targeting AGPS. A total of 12 nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds were designed and predicted the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion parameters/toxicity. Their activity in terms of proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction was then measured using an MTS assay and a high-content screening system in U251 cells. The results showed that anti-glioma activity was present in compounds N4, N5, N6, N7, N8 and N12, which was in accordance with the computer prediction. Therefore, these compounds may be suitable for the development of a novel glioma therapeutic drug.
