It has been demonstrated that taspine derivatives act as anticancer agents, thus we designed and synthesized a novel class of symmetrical biphenyl derivatives. We evaluated the cytotoxicity and antitumor activity of biphenyls against five human tumor and normal cell lines. The results indicated that the majority of the compounds exhibited anticancer activity equivalent to or greater than the positive control. Compounds (11) and (12) demonstrated the most potent cytotoxic activity with IC50 values between 19.41 μM and 29.27 μM. The potent antiproliferative capabilities of these compounds against ECV304 human transformed endothelial cells indicated that these biphenyls could potentially serve as antiangiogenic agents. We also reviewed the relationship between structure and activity based on the experimental results. Our findings provide a good starting point for further development of symmetrical biphenyl derivatives as potential novel anticancer agents.
有研究表明,塔斯平衍生物可作为抗癌剂,因此我们设计并合成了一类新型的对称联苯衍生物。我们评估了联苯类化合物对五种人类肿瘤和正常细胞系的细胞毒性和抗肿瘤活性。结果表明,大多数化合物的抗癌活性相当于或高于阳性对照。化合物 (11) 和 (12) 的细胞毒性活性最强,IC50 值介于 19.41 μM 和 29.27 μM 之间。这些化合物对 ECV304 人转化内皮细胞的强效抗增殖能力表明,这些联苯有可能成为抗血管生成剂。我们还根据实验结果回顾了结构与活性之间的关系。我们的研究结果为进一步开发对称联苯衍生物作为潜在的新型抗癌剂提供了一个良好的起点。
