Utilizing a pharmacophore hybridization approach, we have designed and synthesized a novel series of 28 new heterobivalent β-carbolines. The in vitro cytotoxic potential of each compound was evaluated against the five cancer cell lines (LLC, BGC-823, CT-26, Bel-7402, and MCF-7) of different origin—murine and human, with the aim of determining the potency and selectivity of the compounds.

In this study, a series of alkyl diamine linked bivalent β-carbolines was synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agent. The results demonstrated that most compounds displayed good antiproliferative activities with IC50 value lower than 10 µM against a panel of human tumor cell lines, and compound 8 was found to be the most potent antiproliferative agent with IC50 value of 1.39, 1.96, 1.42, 1.49, 1.32, 1.96 and 1.63 µM against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7), human adenocarcinoma cell line (769-P), human malighant melanoma cell line (A375), human ovarian cancer cell line (SK-OV-3), human colon carcinoma cell line (HCT-116), human gastric cancer cell line (BGC-823) and human esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line (Eca-109), respectively. Further investigations on mechanism of action of this class of compound demonstrated that the representative compound 8 inhibited colorectal cancer growth through inducing autophagy.
A series of novel water-soluble β-carbolines bearing a flexible amino side chain was designed, synthesized and evaluated as potent cytotoxic and DNA intercatalating agents. The N9-arylated alkyl substituted β-carbolines represented the most interesting cytotoxic activities. The results suggested that (1) the N9-arylated alkyl substituents of β-carboline nucleus played a very important role in the modulation of the cytotoxic potencies; (2) the length of the alkylamino side chain significantly affected their cytotoxic potency, and N,N-dimethylaminopropylamino substituent were more favorable. In addition, these compounds were found to exhibit significant DNA intercalating potencies.
设计、合成了一系列带有柔性氨基侧链的新型水溶性 β-咔啉,并作为有效的细胞毒性剂和 DNA 嵌入剂进行了评估。 N9-芳基化烷基取代的β-咔啉代表了最有趣的细胞毒性活性。结果表明:(1)β-咔啉核上的N9-芳基化烷基取代基在细胞毒效力的调节中发挥着非常重要的作用; (2)烷基氨基侧链的长度显着影响其细胞毒效力,且N,N-二甲基氨基丙氨基取代基更有利。此外,这些化合物被发现表现出显着的 DNA 嵌入能力。

A series of novel alkyl diamine linked bivalent beta-carbolines was synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity, inhibition of cell migration and tube formation, and anti-angiogenic activity in vivo. The results showed that most bivalent beta-carbolines displayed significant antiproliferative effect against human umbilical vein cell lines EA.HY926. Compound 2s was found to be the most potent antiproliferative agent with IC50 value of 1.06 mu M against EA.HY926 cell lines. Further investigations on mechanisms of action revealed that compound 2s significantly inhibited EA.HY926 cells migration and tube formation in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover compound 2s exhibited significant angiogenesis inhibitory effects in CAM assay, and the antiangiogenetic potency was comparable with the reference drug Endostar (30 mu M).
