Synthesis,characterization, and biological evaluations of some steryl 2-methoxybenzoates as anticancer agents

Using cholesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol as starting materials, a series of 7-subsitituted-ster-3-yl 2-methoxybenzoate analogs were prepared through reacting with 2-methoxybenzoyl chloride and introducing some function groups, such as carbonyl, hydroxyl and various thiosemicarbazones, at 7-position of steroidal nucleus. The structures of these new compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and HRMS. Their antiproliferative activities were evaluated by using several types of cancer cells. Interestingly, the compounds displayed potent antiproliferative activity against CNE-2 (nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines), BEL-7402 (human liver cancer cell lines) and HepG2 (human liver cancer cell lines), suggesting that they have potential to be drug candidates for cancer treatment.

Synthesis,biological activities studies of ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes

Four ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS and ¹H NMR. The in vitro cytotoxicities of the complexes against BEL-7402, HeLa, A549, HepG2 and MG-63 cancer cells were investigated by MTT methods, giving IC₅₀ values ranging from 6.9 to 43.5 μM. The complexes show their highest inhibitory effect on MG-63 cells, but no cytotoxic activities against HeLa cells. Cellular uptake experiments indicate that the complexes can enter the cytoplasm and accumulate in the cell nuclei. The complexes can induce apoptosis in MG-63 cells, enhance the levels of reactive oxygen species, and induce a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. The cell cycle distribution shows that the complexes induce cell cycle arrest at S phase in MG-63 cells. Additionally, these complexes can up-regulate the levels of Bad and Bid expression and down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x.     

Selective cytotoxicity of goniothalamin against hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells

Liver cancer has become one of the major types of cancer with high mortality and liver cancer is not responsive to the current cytotoxic agents used in chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the in vitro cytotoxicity of goniothalamin on human hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells and normal liver Chang cells. The cytotoxicity of goniothalamin against HepG2 and liver Chang cell was tested using MTT cell viability assay, LDH leakage assay, cell cycle flow cytometry PI analysis, BrdU proliferation ELISA assay and trypan blue dye exclusion assay. Goniothalamin selectively inhibited HepG2 cells [IC?? = 4.6 (±0.23) μM in the MTT assay; IC?? = 5.20 (±0.01) μM for LDH assay at 72 hours], with less sensitivity in Chang cells [IC?? = 35.0 (±0.09) μM for MTT assay; IC?? = 32.5 (±0.04) μM for LDH assay at 72 hours]. In the trypan blue dye exclusion assay, the Viability Indexes were 52 ± 1.73% for HepG2 cells and 62 ± 4.36% for Chang cells at IC?? after 72 hours. Cytotoxicity of goniothalamin was related to inhibition of DNA synthesis, as revealed by the reduction of BrdU incorporation. At 72 hours, the lowest concentration of goniothalamin (2.3 μL) retained 97.6% of normal liver Chang cells proliferation while it reduced HepG2 cell proliferation to 19.8% as compared to control. Besides, goniothalamin caused accumulation of hypodiploid apoptosis and different degree of G2/M arrested as shown in cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry. Goniothalamin selectively killed liver cancer cell through suppression of proliferation and induction of apoptosis. These results suggest that goniothalamin shows potential cytotoxicity against hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells.

Glycosylated diazeniumdiolate-based oleanolic acid derivatives: synthesis, in vitro and in vivo biological evaluation as anti-human hepatocellular carcinoma agents

A series of O(2)-glycosylated diazeniumdiolate-based derivatives of oleanolic acid (4-19) were synthesized and their anti-human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) activities were evaluated. Compound 6 selectively inhibited HCC, but not non-tumor liver cell proliferation. This inhibition was attributed to high levels of nitric oxide (NO) released in HCC cells. Importantly, 6 exhibited low acute toxicity (LD(50) = 173.3 mg kg(-1)) and potent inhibition of HCC tumor growth in mice (3 mg kg(-1) iv). Furthermore, 6 induced HCC cell apoptosis, which was accompanied by lower mitochondrial membrane potentials and Bcl2 expression, but with higher cytochrome C release, Bax, caspase 3 and 9 expression activities in HCC cells. Collectively, 6 may be a promising candidate drug for the intervention of HCC.

Two novel alkaloids from the stem of Saprosma hainanense and their cytotoxic activities in vitro

Two novel alkaloids, saprosmine A (1) and saprosmine B (2), were isolated from the stem of Saprosma hainanense MERR., along with five known alkaloids: marcanine A (3); cleistopholine (4); 4-methoxycarbonyl-5,10-benzogquinolinequinone (5); liriodenine (6); and quinoline (7). The chemical structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic (IR, 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR, MS) data analysis and by comparison with spectroscopic data reported in the literature. Compounds 1 to 6 were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activities against the SPC-A-1 (human lung cancer), BEL-7402 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), SGC-7901 (human gastric cancer), and K-562 (human myelogenous leukaemia) cancer cell lines. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak cytotoxic activities against K-562 cells. Compounds 3 and 5 showed cytotoxic activities against all four cancer cell lines.     

Albumin-Albumin/Lactosylated Core-Shell Nanoparticles: Therapy to Treat Hepatocellular Carcinoma for Controlled Delivery of Doxorubicin

Doxorubicin (Dox) is the most widely used chemotherapeutic agent and is considered a highly powerful and broad-spectrum for cancer treatment. However, its application is compromised by the cumulative side effect of dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Because of this, targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) are currently being explored in an attempt to reduce Dox systemic side-effects. In this study, DDS targeting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been designed, specifically to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR). Dox-loaded albumin-albumin/lactosylated (core-shell) nanoparticles (tBSA/BSALac NPs) with low (LC) and high (HC) crosslink using glutaraldehyde were synthesized. Nanoparticles presented spherical shapes with a size distribution of 257 ± 14 nm and 254 ± 14 nm, as well as an estimated surface charge of −28.0 ± 0.1 mV and −26.0 ± 0.2 mV, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency of Dox for the two types of nanoparticles was higher than 80%. The in vitro drug release results showed a sustained and controlled release profile. Additionally, the nanoparticles were revealed to be biocompatible with red blood cells (RBCs) and human liver cancer cells (HepG2 cells). In cytotoxicity assays, Dox-loaded nanoparticles decrease cell viability more efficiently than free Dox. Specific biorecognition assays confirmed the interaction between nanoparticles and HepG2 cells, especially with ASGPRs. Both types of nanoparticles may be possible DDS specifically targeting HCC, thus reducing side effects, mainly cardiotoxicity. Therefore, improving the quality of life from patients during chemotherapy.

Cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species and DNA-binding studies of ruthenium(II) complexes

Three ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes [Ru(dmb)₂(dadppz)]²⁺ 1, [Ru(bpy)₂(dadppz)]²⁺ 2 and [Ru(phen)₂(dadppz)]²⁺ 3 were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ES-MS, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR. Their DNA-binding behaviors were investigated by absorption titration, fluorescence spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. Cytotoxicity in vitro, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, cellular uptake and reactive oxygen species assays were performed. The complexes were found to show moderate DNA-binding affinities and high cytotoxicities toward A549, BEL-7402, MG-63 and SKBR-3 cell lines. These complexes can effectively induce apoptosis of BEL-7402. In cell cycle assays, the complexes induced S-phase arrest on BEL-7402 cells and G0/G1-phase arrest on SKBR-3 cells. The DNA-binding experiments showed that the three complexes interact with CT-DNA through an intercalative mode.
