Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3,5-diaryl isoxazoline/isoxazole linked 2,3-dihydroquinazolinone hybrids as anticancer agents
摘要:
A series of new 3,5-diaryl isoxazoline/isoxazole linked 2,3-dihydro quinazolinone hybrids with different linker architectures have been designed and synthesized. These compounds have been evaluated for their anticancer activity. One of the compounds 4c amongst this series has shown promising anticancer activity. Further some detailed biological assays relating to the cell cycle aspects and tubulin depolymerization activity have been examined with a view to understand the mechanism of action of this conjugate.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 3,5-diaryl-isoxazoline/isoxazole-pyrrolobenzodiazepine conjugates as potential anticancer agents
摘要:
A series of 3,5-diaryl-isoxazoline/isoxazole linked pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD) conjugates were prepared. These conjugates showed potent anticancer activity with GI(50) values in the range of <0.1-3.6 mu M. Some of these PBD conjugates (6a-c) with promising anticancer activity were further investigated on the cell cycle distribution. Moreover, these PBD conjugates exhibited G0/G1 arrest, enhancement in the levels of p53 protein as well as mitochondrial-mediated intrinsic pathway, leading to release of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3, cleavage of PARP and subsequent apoptotic cell death. Hence these PBD conjugates with 6a being the most potent one could be be taken up for preclinical studies either alone or in combination with existing therapies. (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.
