A series of new podophyllotoxin derivatives containing structural modifications at C-7, C-8, and C-9 were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against three human cancer cell lines. All the synthesized compounds showed significant growth inhibition with GI50 values in micromolar levels while some of the compounds were several times more potent against MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines than MIAPACA cell line. Three compounds (12a, 12d and 12e) emerged as potent compounds with broad spectrum of cytotoxic activity against all the tested cell lines with GI50 values in the range of 0.01–2.1 μM. These compounds induce microtubule depolymerization and arrests cells at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, compounds 12d and 12e disrupted microtubule network and accumulated tubulin in the soluble fraction in a similar manner to their parent podophyllotoxin scaffold. In addition, structure activity relationship studies within the series were also discussed. Molecular docking studies of these compounds into the colchicine-binding site of tubulin, revealed possible mode of inhibition by these compounds.  相似文献

A series of aminochalcone derivatives have been synthesized, characterized by HRMS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against HepG2 and HCT116 human cancer cell lines. The most of new synthesized compounds displayed moderate to potent antiproliferative activity against test cancer cell lines. Among the derivatives, compound 4 displayed potent inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranged from 0.018 to 5.33 μM against all tested cancer cell lines including drug resistant HCT-8/T. Furthermore, this compound showed low cytotoxicity on normal human cell lines (LO2). The in vitro tubulin polymerization assay showed that compound 4 inhibited tubulin assembly in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 value of 7.1 μM, when compared to standard colchicine (IC50 = 9.0 μM). Further biological evaluations revealed that compound 4 was able to arrest the cell cycle in G2/M phase. Molecular docking study demonstrated the interaction of compound 4 at the colchicine binding site of tubulin. All the results indicated that compound 4 is a promising inhibitor of tubulin polymerization for the treatment of cancer.  相似文献

A series of novel 4,7-dihydroxycoumarin based acryloylcyanohydrazone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity against four different cancer cell lines (A549, HeLa, SKNSH, and MCF7). Most of the compounds displayed potent cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging from 3.42 to 31.28 µM against all the tested cancer cell lines. The most active compound, 8h was evaluated for pharmacological mechanistic studies on cell cycle progression and tubulin polymerization inhibition assay. The results revealed that the compound 8h induced the cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and inhibited tubulin polymerization with IC50 = 6.19 µM. Experimental data of the tubulin polymerization inhibition assay was validated by molecular docking technique and the results exhibited strong hydrogen bonding interactions with amino acids (ASN-101, TYR-224, ASN-228, LYS-254) of tubulin.  相似文献

A new series of novel Podophyllotoxin-like benzo[b]furo[3,4-e][1,4]diazepin-1-ones possessing structural elements of 4-aza-2,3-didehydropodophyllotoxins with central diazepine ring was designed and synthesized as anti-cancer agents. In initial assessment, the cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against three cancer cell lines including MCF-7, PC3 and B16-F10 employing the MTT assay. Some of compounds (12h, 13a, 13c and 14b) showed significant cytotoxic activity. So, we investigated the cytotoxicity of compounds 12h, 13a, 13c and 14b, along with podophyllotoxin as the reference drug in different cancer cell lines including A549, A2780, DU145, HeLa, and normal Huvec cell line. Among these four compounds, 13c showed promising antiproliferative activity against all cancer cells stronger than the other compounds and comparable to reference drug podophyllotoxin in some cancer cells. All these four compounds did not show significant cytotoxicity on normal Huvec cell line. The flow cytometry analysis of the MCF-7, PC3 and A2780 human cancer cell lines treated with 13c showed that 13c, induced apoptosis in the MCF-7, PC3 and A2780 human cancer cell lines, which is in good agreement to its cytotoxic activity as well. Compound 13c did not show significant influence on tubulin assembly and exert its cytotoxic effects via induction of apoptosis and has potent and selective cytotoxic effects in cancer cells.  相似文献

A new series of pyrano chalcone derivatives containing indole moiety (342, 49a49r) were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities. Among all the compounds, compound 49b with a propionyloxy group at the 4-position of the left phenyl ring and N-methyl-5-indoly on the right ring displayed the most potent cytotoxic activity against all tested cancer cell lines including multidrug resistant phenotype, which inhibits cancer cell growth with IC50 values ranging from 0.22 to 1.80 μM. Furthermore, 49b significantly induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and inhibited the polymerization of tubulin. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated the interaction of 49b at the colchicine binding site of tubulin. In experiments in vivo, 49b exerted potent anticancer activity in HepG2 human liver carcinoma in BALB/c nude mice. These results indicated these compounds are promising inhibitors of tubulin polymerization for the potential treatment of cancer.  相似文献

A number of pyrimidine bridged combretastatin derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activities against breast cancer (MCF-7) and lung cancer (A549) cell lines using MTT assays. Most of the synthesized compounds displayed good anticancer activity with IC50 values in low micro-molar range. Compounds 4a and 4p were found most potent in the series with IC50 values of 4.67 µM & 3.38 µM and 4.63 µM & 3.71 µM against MCF7 and A549 cancer cell lines, respectively. Biological evaluation of these compounds showed that selective cancer cell toxicity (in vitro using human lung and breast cancer cell lines) might be due to the inhibition of antioxidant enzymes instigating elevated ROS levels which triggers intrinsic apoptotic pathways. These compounds were found nontoxic to the normal human primary cells. Compound 4a, was found to be competitive inhibitor of colchicine and in the tubulin binding assay it showed tubulin polymerization inhibition potential comparable to colchicine. The molecular modeling studies also showed that the synthesized compounds fit well in the colchicine-binding pocket.  相似文献

Coumarin-based different series of hydrazone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity against four different human cancer cell lines. The activity of the compounds were compared with doxorubicin as a standard drug and all the compounds exhibited good to moderate cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging from 6.07 to 60.45 µM against all the examined cancer cell lines. Based on the screening results, it was concluded that the compounds 12a and 18a were the most promising medicinal entities. In vitro tubulin polymerisation inhibition assay was performed for the compounds 12a and 18a and these two compounds displayed good potency when compared with colchicine as the standard drug. The interaction of these compounds with tubulin protein was also studied with the help of molecular docking technique using Discovery studio software. Furthermore, the molecular and ADMET properties of the compounds were computed with Osiris property software and PreADMET server. The compounds exhibited exciting in vitro and in silico results. Hence we propose that the compounds 12a and 18a could be developed as tubulin targeted potential antiproliferative agents.  相似文献

A series of terphenyl based 4-aza-2,3-didehydropodophyllotoxin conjugates (8ar) were synthesized by a straightforward one-step multicomponent synthesis that demonstrated anticancer activity against five human cancer cell lines (lung, colon, renal, prostate and cervical). All the tested compounds showed potent anticancer activity with IC50 values ranging from 0.87 to 16.59 μM. Among them compounds 8n and 8p showed significant anticancer activity in lung cancer cells with IC50 values 0.91 and 0.87 μM, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that these compounds induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase in A549 cell line leading to caspase-3 dependent apoptotic cell death. The tubulin polymerization assay and immunofluorescence analysis showed that these compounds effectively inhibit microtubule assembly at both molecular and cellular levels in A549 cells. Further, Hoechst staining, DNA fragmentation analysis also suggested that these compounds induced cell death by apoptosis. Overall, the current study demonstrated that the synthesis of terphenyl based 4-aza-2,3-didehydropodophyllotoxin conjugates as promising anticancer agents with G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptotic-inducing activities via targeting tubulin.  相似文献

Three series of novel sulfonylurea podophyllotoxin derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against four tumor cell lines (A-549, DU-145, KB and KBvin). Compounds 14c (IC50: 1.41–1.76 μM) and 14e (IC50: 1.72–2.01 μM) showed superior cytotoxic activity compared with etoposide (IC50: 2.03 to >20 μM), a clinically available anticancer drug. Significantly, most of the compounds exhibited comparable cytotoxicity against the drug-resistant tumor cell line KBvin, while etoposide lost activity completely. Preliminary structure–activity relationship (SAR) correlations indicated that the 4′-O-methyl functionality in podophyllotoxin analogues may be essential to maintain cytotoxic activity, while an arylsulfonylurea side chain at podophyllotoxin’s 4β position can significantly improve cytotoxic activity.  相似文献

A series of novel β-carbolinium bromides has been synthesized from easily accessible β-carbolines and 1-aryl-2-bromoethanones. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity. Among the synthesized derivatives, compounds 16l, 16o and 16s exhibited potent anticancer activity with IC50 values of <10 μM against tested cancer cell lines. The most potent analogue 16l was broadly active against all the tested cancer cell lines (IC50 = 3.16–7.93 μM). In order to test the mechanism of cell death, we exposed castration resistant prostate cancer cell line (C4-2) to compounds 16l and 16s, which resulted in increased levels of cleaved PARP1 and AO/EB staining, indicating that β-carbolinium salts induce apoptosis in these cells. Additionally, the most potent β-carbolines 16l and 16s were found to inhibit tubulin polymerization.  相似文献

A series of eight novel podophyllotoxin derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for biological activities. The antiproliferative activities were tested against a panel of human cancer cell lines (K562, SGC, Hela and HepG) and the inhibition of tubulin polymerization was also evaluated. Compound 8e displayed significant antiproliferative activities for all four cell lines and strong levels of tubulin polymerization inhibition effect. Combined with cell apoptosis and cell cycle analysis, it demonstrated that compound 3e that effectively interfere with tubulin dynamics prevent mitosis in cancer cells, leading to cell cycle arrest and, eventually dose dependent apoptosis. All experimental measurements were also supported by molecular docking simulations of colchicine binding site, which revealed the governing forces for the binding behavior and a good relationship with anti-tubulin activity and antiproliferative activities. The synthesis and biological studies provided an interesting new class of antitubulin agents for development of lead compounds and also a direction for further structure modification to obtain more potent anti-cancer drugs.  相似文献

Two series (14ad and 21ah) of novel spin-labeled combretastatin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against four tumor cell lines (K562, SGC-7901, Hela and HepG-2). Simultaneously, a representative compound 21a was selected to investigate the antitumor mechanisms of these synthetic compounds. The results indicated that some of the compounds showed significant cytotoxicity against four tumor cell lines in vitro and were more active than etoposide, a clinically available anticancer drug. Among the newly synthesized compounds, 21a, 21b and 21c displayed the greatest cytotoxicity against three tested tumor cell lines (HEPG-2, BGC-832 and Hela), with IC50 values ranging from 0.15 to 1.05 μM, compared with values of 0.014–0.403 μM for 3-amino-deoxycombretastatin A-4 (3). In addition, the mechanistic analysis revealed that compound 21a effectively interfered with tubulin dynamics to prevent mitosis in cancer cells, leading to cell cycle arrest and, eventually, dose dependent apoptosis.  相似文献

A series of triphenyl substituted pyrimidines as analogous of colchicine and combretastatin A-4 was synthesized and evaluated for the antiproliferative potential. The compounds were screened against MDA-MB-231, HCT-116 and HT-29 cell lines using MTT assay. Most of the compounds displayed antiproliferative activity in low to sub micro molar concentration. Amongst the synthesized derivatives, compounds HK-2, HK-10 and HK-13 were found to be effective against all the three cancer cell lines. HK-2 exhibited IC50 values of 3.39 µM, 4.78 µM and 4.23 µM, HK-10 showed IC50 values of 0.81 µM, 5.89 µM, 4.96 µM and HK-13 showed IC50 values 3.24 µM, 4.93 µM and 4.73 µM against MDA-MB-231, HCT-116 and HT-29 cancer cell lines, respectively. HK-10 was found to be the most potent compound in the series with IC50 values of 0.81 µM against MDA-MB-231. In the cell cycle analysis, HK-2 and HK-10 showed cell arrest at G2/M phase of the cell cycle while HK-13 inhibited cell growth at the G1/G0 phase. All the three compounds showed cell death induced through apoptosis. In the docking studies, HK-2, HK-10 and HK-13 were found to fit well in the colchicine binding site of the tubulin. Some of the compounds in the current series were found to be promising against all the three cancer cell lines and may act as potent leads for further development.  相似文献

A series of 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amide derivatives (6aw) were designed and synthesized as potential inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and as anticancer agents. The in vitro anticancer activities of these compounds were evaluated against three cancer cell lines by the MTT method. Among all the designed compounds, compound 6f exhibited the most potent anticancer activity against A549, MCF-7 and HepG2 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 0.03 μM, 0.06 μM and 0.05 μM, respectively. Compound 6f also exhibited significant tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1.73 μM), which was superior to the positive control. The obtained results, along with a 3D-QSAR study and molecular docking that were used for investigating the probable binding mode, could provide an important basis for further optimization of compound 6f as a novel anticancer agent.  相似文献

A series of novel tetrazole analogues of resveratrol were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-leukemic activity against an extensive panel of human cancer cell lines and against the MV4-11 AML cell line. These molecules were designed as drug-like derivatives of the resveratrol analogue DMU-212 and its cyano derivatives. Four compounds 8g, 8h, 10a and 10b exhibited LD50 values of 4.60?µM, 0.02?µM, 1.46?µM, and 1.08?µM, respectively, against MV4-11 leukemia cells. The most potent compounds, 8h and 10b, were also found to be active against an extensive panel of human hematological and solid tumor cell lines; compound 8h was the most potent compound with GI50 values <10?nM against more than 90% of the human cancer cell lines in the 60-cell panel. Analogues 8g, 8h, 10a and 10b were also tested for their ability to inhibit the polymerization of tubulin, and compound 8h was found to be the most potent analogue. Molecular modeling studies demonstrated that 8h binds to the colchicine binding site on tubulin. Thus, compound 8h is considered to be a lead druglike molecule from this tetrazole series of compounds.  相似文献

A series of pyrimidine–benzimidazol hybrids was synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity on four human cancer cell lines including MCF-7, MGC-803, EC-9706 and SMMC-7721. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to potent activity against MGC-803 and MCF-7. Among them, compounds 5ab and 6ab showed most effective activity. Compounds 5b and 6b were more cytotoxic than 5-fluorouracil against all tested four human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 2.03 to 10.55 μM and 1.06 to 12.89 μM, respectively. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that treatment of MGC-803 with 6b led to cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase accompanied by an increase in apoptotic cell death.  相似文献

Many natural and synthetic substances are known to interfere with the dynamic assembly of tubulin, preventing the formation of microtubules. In our search for potent and selective antitumor agents, a novel series of 1-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzoyl)-5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles were synthesized. The compounds had different heterocycles, including thiophene, furan or the three isomeric pyridines, and they possessed a phenyl ring bearing electron-releasing or electron-withdrawing substituents at the 3-position of the 5-amino-1,2,4-triazole system. Most of the twenty-two tested compounds showed moderate to potent antiproliferative activities against a panel of solid tumor and leukemic cell lines, with four (5j, 5k, 5o and 5p) showing strong antiproliferative activity (IC50 < 1 μM) against selected cancer cells. Among them, several molecules preferentially inhibited the proliferation of leukemic cell lines, showing IC50 values 2-100-fold lower for Jurkat and RS4;11 cells than those for the three lines derived from solid tumors (HeLa, HT-29 and MCF-7 cells). Compound 5k strongly inhibited tubulin assembly, with an IC50 value of 0.66 μM, half that obtained in simultaneous experiments with CA-4 (IC50 = 1.3 μM).  相似文献

A series of chalcones containing naphthalene moiety 4a4p have been synthesized, characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity. The majority of the screened compounds displayed potent anticancer activity against both HCT116 and HepG2 human cancer cell lines. Among the series, compound 4h with a diethylamino group at the para position of the phenyl ring exhibited the most potent anticancer activity against HCT116 and HepG2 cell lines with IC50 values of 1.20 ± 0.07 and 1.02 ± 0.04 μM, respectively. The preliminary structure–activity relationship has been summarized. Tubulin polymerization experiments indicated that 4h effectively inhibited tubulin polymerization and flow cytometric assay revealed that 4h arrests HepG2 cells at the G2/M phase in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, molecular docking studies suggested that 4h binds to the colchicine binding site of tubulin.  相似文献

A library of new imidazopyridine linked triazole hybrid conjugates (8a-r) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines namely, human lung (A549), human prostate (DU-145), human colon (HCT-116) and breast (MDA-MB 231) cancer. These conjugates exhibited good to moderate activity against the tested human cancer cell lines. Two of the conjugates (8g and 8j) showed significant antitumor activity against human lung cancer cell line (A549) with IC50 values of 0.51 µM and 0.63 µM respectively. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that these conjugates arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase in human lung cancer cell line (A549). Immune-histochemistry and tubulin polymerization assay suggest inhibition of tubulin. Hoechst staining, annexin V and DNA fragmentation by tunnel assay suggested that these compounds induce cell death by apoptosis. Overall, the current study demonstrates that the synthesis of imidazopyridine linked triazole conjugates as promising anticancer agents causing G2/M arrest and apoptotic-inducing ability.  相似文献

A novel series of 2-(3,6-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-N-(4-substitutedbenzylidene)acetohydrazide (12ag) was prepared and their structures were confirmed by spectral and elemental analyses. The cytotoxic activity of the newly synthesized compounds was evaluated against breast carcinoma (MCF-7), non-small cell lung cancer (A549) and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cell lines using MTT and colony formation assays. The tested compounds showed a marked anticancer activity against all the tested cell lines, especially compound 12g, which was the most potent anticancer agent with half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) between 5.36 and 9.09 μM. Docking studies into ATP binding site of EGFR protein tyrosine kinase were performed to predict their scores and mode of binding to amino acids, In addition, the inhibitory activity of the target compounds against epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) was evaluated. Results indicated the ability of the target compounds to inhibit EGFR-TK with half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) in the range of 4.18–35.88 μM. Furthermore, The most active compounds 12g, 12c and 12d were assayed against Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR), Insulin Receptor (IR) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR). The activity of the reported compounds warrants further optimization as novel members in cancer treatment protocols.  相似文献
