A series of novel 9-N-substituted-13-alkylberberine derivatives from Chinese medicine were designed and synthesized with improved anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) activities. The optimal compound 4d showed strong activities against HepG2, Sk-Hep-1, Huh-7 and Hep3B cells with IC50 values of 0.58–1.15 μM, which were superior to positive reference cisplatin. Interestingly, 4d exhibited over 40-fold
设计并合成了一系列具有改善的抗肝细胞癌 (HCC) 活性的中药 9- N-取代-13-烷基小檗碱衍生物。最佳化合物4d显示出对 HepG2、Sk-Hep-1、Huh-7 和 Hep3B 细胞的强活性,IC 50值为 0.58–1.15 μM,优于阳性参考顺铂。有趣的是,4d对顺铂耐药的 HepG2/DPP 细胞表现出超过 40 倍的活性,同时在正常 LX-2 细胞中表现出较低的细胞毒性。机制研究表明4d大大稳定了 G-四链体 DNA,导致细胞内c-MYC 表达下调,通过影响相关的p -cdc25c、cdc2 和细胞周期蛋白 B1 表达来阻断 G2/M 期细胞周期,并通过 ROS 促进的 PI3K/Akt 线粒体途径诱导细胞凋亡。此外,4d具有良好的药代动力学特性,可显着抑制H22肝癌异种移植小鼠模型的肿瘤生长,且无明显毒性。总而言之, 4d在体外和体内显着的生物学特征将使其成为 HCC 治疗的有前途的候选者。
