The synthesis of 4,6-diaryl-2-pyridones and their bioactivation in CYP1 expressing breast cancer cells
摘要:
As part of a programme to develop anticancer prodrugs which are activated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1B1, a library of 4,6-diaryl-2-pyridones was synthesised in yields of 6-60% from the corresponding chalcones. A number of these derivatives showed promising antiproliferative activities in human breast cancer cell lines which express CYP1B1 and CYP1A1, while showing little toxicity towards a non-tumour breast cell line with no CYP expression. Metabolism studies provided evidence supporting the involvement of CYP1 enzymes in the bioactivation of these compounds.
