Synthesis, topoisomerase-targeting activity and growth inhibition of lycobetaine analogs
摘要:
The plant alkaloid lycobetaine has potent topoisomerase-targeting properties and shows anticancer activity. Based on these findings, several lycobetaine analogs were synthesized mainly differing in their substituents at 2, 8 and 9 position and their biological activities were evaluated. The topoisomerase-targeting properties and cytotoxicity of these structural analogs were assessed in the human gastric carcinoma cell line GXF251L. Performing a plasmid relaxation assay, an increased inhibition of topoisomerase I was found with N-methylphenanthridinium chlorides bearing a 8,9-methylenedioxy moiety or a methoxy group in 2-position. Furthermore, quaternized phenanthridinium derivatives bearing either a 2-methoxy or a 8,9-methylenedioxy moiety in conjunction with a 2-hydroxy or 2-methoxy group display potent topoisomerase II inhibition as shown by decatenation of kinetoplast DNA. In general, the N-methylphenanthridinium chlorides possess more potency in inhibiting topoisomerase I than topoisomerase II. All quaternized derivatives also exhibited potent inhibition of tumor cell growth in the low micromolar concentration range. Hence, N-methylphenanthridinium compounds were found to represent a promising class of compounds, potently inhibiting both, topoisomerases I and II, and may be further developed into clinically useful topoisomerase inhibitors.
