Background: Ferrocene is a potential pharmacophore for drug design and drug discovery.
Methods: Based on our previous good achievements (Med. Chem. commun., 2014,7,968-972),
nineteen novel structures of 1,1’-ferrocene diformates bearing isoxazole moiety (3a-3s) were firstly
synthesized in the current work and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS. Then, their
cytotoxicity to A549, HCT116 and MCF-7 cell lines was evaluated using the MTT method.
Results: The results showed that most compounds exhibited higher potent cytotoxicity to A549,
HCT116 and MCF-7 cell lines.
Conclusion: Especially, 3b, 3h, 3k, 3l, 3m, 3n, 3o, 3p and 3s simultaneously exhibited stronger
inhibitory activity towards A549, HCT116 and MCF-7 cell lines than that of the reference drug cisplatin,
which can be regarded as very promising metal-based lead compounds for anticancer agents.
背景:二茂铁是药物设计和药物发现的潜在药源。 方法:基于我们之前取得的良好成果(Med. Chem. Commun., 2014,7,968-972),本研究首先合成了 19 种新型结构的 1,1'-二茂铁异噁唑二甲酸酯(3a-3s),并通过 1H NMR、13C NMR、ESI-MS 对其进行了表征。结果表明,大多数化合物对 A549、HCT116 和 MCF-7 细胞株具有较强的细胞毒性:结果表明,大多数化合物对 A549、HCT116 和 MCF-7 细胞株都有较强的细胞毒性。 结论:3b、3h 和 3h 对 A549、HCT116 和 MCF-7 细胞株都有较强的细胞毒性:特别是 3b、3h、3k、3l、3m、3n、3o、3p 和 3s 同时对 A549、HCT116 和 MCF-7 细胞株表现出比参考药物顺铂更强的抑制活性,可视为非常有前途的抗癌金属基先导化合物。
