The work reported the design and cytotoxic screening of synthetic small molecules: carbonitriles 3a–c, carboximidamides 4a–c, and oxadiazoles 5–19 as antitumor molecules. Molecules 4c, 9, 12, and 14 show promising cytotoxicity profiles against two cell lines higher than prodigiosin (PG). The results of topoisomerase enzyme inhibition assay show that carboximidamide 4c and oxadiazole 14 display potent inhibitory activity in nano-molar concentration higher than PG. In addition, carboximidamide 4c and oxadiazoles 9, 12, and 14 exhibit antiproliferative activities over MCF-7 cells by cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and apoptosis inducing activity by increasing cell population percentages at pre G1 and G2/M phases as shown by DNA-flow cytometry assay and annexin V analysis. Moreover, measurement of p53 and cell death mediators, show that carboximidamide 4c and oxadiazoles 9, 12, and 14 significantly up-regulate p53, Puma and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio levels. Subsequently, pro-apoptotic activities are confirmed by active caspase 3/7 percentages green fluorescence assay.
报告的工作涉及合成小分子(碳腈3a-c、羧基咪唑胺4a-c和噁二唑5-19)作为抗肿瘤分子的设计和细胞毒性筛选。分子4c、9、12和14对两种细胞系的细胞毒性特征优于灵菌红素(PG)。拓扑异构酶抑制试验结果显示,羧基咪唑胺4c和噁二唑14在纳摩尔浓度下表现出比PG更强的抑制活性。此外,羧基咪唑胺4c和噁二唑9、12、和14通过DNA流式细胞术和 annexin V 分析显示,在G1期阻滞细胞周期并诱导凋亡活性,通过增加pre G1和G2/M期的细胞比例。此外,对p53和细胞死亡介质的测量表明,羧基咪唑胺4c和噁二唑9、12、和14显著上调p53、Puma和Bax/Bcl-2比率水平。随后的绿色荧光活性caspase 3/7百分比测定证实了促凋亡活性。
