Novel shikonin derivatives were synthesised and probed as anticancer agents. Compound 40 showed the best anticancer activity with an IC50 of 1.26 μM, could induce apoptosis and cause cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase via the P21 p-CDC2 (Tyr15) pathway independent of P53.
新的紫金素衍生物被合成并作为抗癌药物进行研究。化合物40表现出最佳的抗癌活性,IC50为1.26μM,能够通过P21 p-CDC2 (Tyr15)途径诱导凋亡并导致细胞周期在G2/M期阻滞,与P53无关。
