Piperazine moieties with disubstituted N-aryl groups are linked to the isoquinoline alkaloid, berberine, through a pentyloxy side chain, replacing its 9-methoxyl group. The nine synthesised compounds are screened for antioxidant potency, in vitro anticancer activities against Hela and Caski cervical cancer cell lines and for cytotoxicity towards Malin Darby canine kidney cell lines. Several compounds demonstrate significant antioxidant potency and most of the compounds exhibit equipotent, or better, anticancer activity when compared to berberine.
具有二取代 N-芳基的哌嗪分子通过戊氧基侧链与异喹啉生物碱小檗碱连接,取代了其 9-甲氧基。对合成的九种化合物进行了抗氧化性、针对 Hela 和 Caski 宫颈癌细胞株的体外抗癌活性以及针对 Malin Darby 犬肾细胞株的细胞毒性筛选。与小檗碱相比,有几种化合物显示出明显的抗氧化效力,大多数化合物的抗癌活性与小檗碱相当,甚至更强。
