Synthesis and characterization of quinoline-based thiosemicarbazones and correlation of cellular iron-binding efficacy to anti-tumor efficacy
摘要:
Iron chelators have emerged as a potential anti-cancer treatment strategy. In this study, a series of novel thiosemicarbazone iron chelators containing a quinoline scaffold were synthesized and characterized. A number of analogs show markedly greater anti-cancer activity than the 'gold-standard' iron chelator, desferrioxamine. The anti-proliferative activity and iron chelation efficacy of several of these ligands (especially compound 1b), indicates that further investigation of this class of thiosemicarbazones is worthwhile.
