Nitrated Indenoisoquinolines as Topoisomerase I Inhibitors: A Systematic Study and Optimization
摘要:
The biological activity of indenoisoquinoline topoisomerase I (Topl) inhibitors can be greatly enhanced depending on the choice of substituents on the aromatic rings and lactam side chain. Previously, it was discovered that a 3-nitro group and a 9-methoxy group afforded enhanced biological activity. In the present investigation, indenoisoquinoline analogues were systematically prepared using combinations of nitro groups, methoxy groups, and hydrogen atoms in an effort to understand the contribution of each group toward cytotoxicity and Top I inhibition. Analysis of the biological results suggests that the nitro group is important for Top I inhibition and the methoxy group improves cytotoxicity. In addition, previously identified structure-activity relationships were utilized to select favorable lactam side chain functionalities for incorporation on the aromatic skeleton of analogues in this study. As a result, this investigation has provided optimal Topl inhibitors equipotent to camptothecin that demonstrate low nanomolar cytotoxicities toward cancer cells.
