In this study, a series of coumarin derivatives, either alone or as hybrids with cinnamic acid, were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cells using the MTT assay. Then, the most active compounds were inspected for their mechanism of cytotoxicity by cell-cycle analysis, RT-PCR, DNA fragmentation, and Western blotting techniques. Cytotoxic results showed that compound
在这项研究中,合成了一系列香豆素衍生物,单独或与肉桂酸混合,并使用 MTT 测定法评估它们对一组癌细胞的细胞毒性。然后,通过细胞周期分析、RT-PCR、DNA 片段化和蛋白质印迹技术检查最活跃的化合物的细胞毒性机制。细胞毒结果表明,化合物( 4 )对HL60细胞具有显着的细胞毒作用(IC 50 = 8.09 µM),而化合物( 8b )对HepG2细胞具有显着的活性(IC 50 = 13.14 µM)。化合物(4)和(8b )) 通过 PI3K/AKT 通路抑制介导它们的细胞毒性。这些结果通过分子对接研究得到保证。这些结果支持进一步探索性研究,重点关注香豆素衍生物作为细胞毒剂的治疗活性。
