Cinnamic acids have been identified as interesting compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties. In the present study, simple cinnamic acids were synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation reactions and evaluated for the above biological activities. Compound 4ii proved to be the most potent LOX inhibitor. Phenyl- substituted acids showed better inhibitory activity against soybean LOX, and it must be noted that compounds 4i and 3i with higher lipophilicity values resulted less active than compounds 2i and 1i. The compounds have shown very good activity in different antioxidant assays. The antitumor properties of these derivatives have been assessed by their 1/IC50 inhibitory values in the proliferation of HT-29, A-549, OAW-42, MDA-MB-231, HeLa and MRC-5 normal cell lines. The compounds presented low antitumor activity considering the IC50 values attained for the cell lines, with the exception of compound 4ii. Molecular docking studies were carried out on cinnamic acid derivative 4ii and were found to be in accordance with our experimental biological results.
肉桂酸已被鉴定为具有抗氧化、抗炎和细胞毒性特性的有趣化合物。在本研究中,简单的肉桂酸通过Knoevenagel缩合反应合成,并评估了上述生物活性。化合物4ii证明是最强效的LOX抑制剂。苯基取代的酸显示出对大豆LOX更好的抑制活性,必须注意的是,相对于化合物2i和1i,具有更高亲脂性值的化合物4i和3i活性较低。这些化合物在不同的抗氧化测试中显示出非常好的活性。这些衍生物的抗癌特性已通过其在HT-29、A-549、OAW-42、MDA-MB-231、HeLa和MRC-5正常细胞系中的1/IC50抑制值进行评估。考虑到对细胞系的IC50值,除了化合物4ii外,这些化合物显示出较低的抗癌活性。对肉桂酸衍生物4ii进行了分子对接研究,发现其与我们实验生物结果一致。
