A series of 1, 3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones was synthesised in order to obtain a new type of anticancer drug, designed with hybrid features to inhibit colon cancer activated receptor. Based on computational modelling and docking studies, potential inhibitors were synthesised and their biological activity evaluated. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and Mass spectrometry. All analogues were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against human colon (caco-2) cancer cell lines. Compounds 1b, 1f-1h, and 2i showed significant cytotoxicity. Chalcones 1b, 1f and 1g were identified as the most potent and selective anticancer agents with IC50 values <1 µg/mL and 1.5 µg/mL, against caco-2 cell line, respectively. In conclusion, this finding confirms the suitability of indolyl chalcone analogues as candidates for further investigation towards the management of colon cancer related diseases.
为了获得一种新型抗癌药物,我们合成了一系列 1,3-二芳基-2-丙烯-1-酮,其设计具有抑制结肠癌活化受体的混合特征。在计算建模和对接研究的基础上,合成了潜在的抑制剂,并对其生物活性进行了评估。新合成化合物的结构通过 1HNMR、13CNMR 和质谱进行了确认。评估了所有类似物对人结肠癌(caco-2)细胞系的体外细胞毒性。化合物 1b、1f-1h 和 2i 显示出显著的细胞毒性。查耳酮 1b、1f 和 1g 被确定为最有效的选择性抗癌剂,对 caco-2 细胞系的 IC50 值分别为 1 µg/mL 和 1.5 µg/mL。总之,这一发现证实了吲哚基查尔酮类似物适合作为进一步研究结肠癌相关疾病治疗的候选药物。
