Cyclooxygenase is critical for maintaining physiological functions, whereas overexpression of COX-2 was closely implicated in various cancers. In this study, a series of novel aminophosphonate derivatives containing pyrazole moiety were synthesized with their anti-cancer activity evaluated. In vitro assays of the target compounds showed that Z21 displayed excellent COX-2 inhibitory activity against COX-2 (IC50 = 0
环氧合酶对于维持生理功能至关重要,而COX-2的过度表达与多种癌症密切相关。在这项研究中,合成了一系列含有吡唑部分的新型氨基膦酸酯衍生物,并评估了其抗癌活性。目标化合物的体外分析表明,Z21对COX-2表现出出色的COX-2抑制活性(IC 50 = 0.22±0.04 µM),对MCF-7细胞具有抗增殖活性(IC 50 = 4.37±0.49 µM)。通过流式细胞术和聚合酶链反应证实了化合物Z21的凋亡诱导。进一步的研究表明,化合物Z21通过线粒体依赖性途径诱导MCF-7细胞凋亡,并参与G2期细胞周期停滞。总体而言,这些结果为COX-2抑制剂的治疗药物设计提供了一些新见识,并表明了选择性COX-2抑制与抗肿瘤活性之间的联系。
