A series of N-benzyl-9(10H)-acridinones were synthesized and tested for their antitumor activities in vitro against HepG2 cells.Assay-based antiproliferative activity study using HepG2 cell lines revealed that several compounds had significant effects on cytotoxicity, among which compound 5h was found to be the most active compound with IC50 at about 1.33 μM using the MTT assay. The antitumor effect of compound 5h is believed to be due to the induction of apoptosis, which was further confirmed by Hoechst 33258 fluorescence staining, agarose gel electrophoresis and Annexin VFITC/ PI staining assay using flow cytometry analysis. Above all, compound 5h would be a potential anticancer agent which deserves further research.
一系列N-苄基-9(10H)-吖啶酮被合成并测试了它们对HepG2细胞的体外抗肿瘤活性。基于HepG2细胞系的抗增殖活性研究揭示,几种化合物对细胞毒性具有显著效果,其中化合物5h被发现是最活性的化合物,使用MTT assay测得的IC50值约为1.33 μM。化合物5h的抗肿瘤效应被认为是通过诱导凋亡实现的,这一结论通过Hoechst 33258荧光染色、琼脂糖凝胶电泳和使用流式细胞术的Annexin VFITC/PI染色 assay进一步证实。总之,化合物5h可能是一种有潜力的抗癌药物,值得进一步研究。
