Novel Furochromone Derivatives: Synthesis and Anticancer Activity Studies

Medicinal plant extracts have been used for medical purposes throughout human history. In this study, khellin, having furochromone structure, which is obtained from a well‐known traditional medicinal plant, was selected. A series of furochromonyl compounds ( K1 – K14 ) were synthesized for their anticancer activities. Furochromonyl compounds ( K1 – K14 ) were synthesized by Knoevenagel reaction of substituted 2,4‐thiazolidinediones ( Ia – j )/rhodanines ( Ik – n ) with khellin‐2‐carboxaldehyde ( V ), and their cytotoxicity was investigated in 22 cancer cell lines, which were originated from tissues such as the liver, breast, colon, and cervix. As the first step, two hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines Huh7 and PLC/PRF/5 (Alexander cells) were treated with 10 μM of each compound for 72 h, and then sulforhodamine B assay was performed to analyze their anti‐growth activities. Ethyl 2‐(5‐((4,9‐dimethoxy‐5‐oxo‐5H‐furo[3,2‐g]chromen‐7‐yl)methylene)‐4‐oxo‐2‐thioxothiazolidin‐3‐yl)acetate ( K11 ) was found as the most cytotoxic compound of primary screening. Afterwards, 12 hepatocellular carcinoma, seven breast cancer, two colon cancer, and a cervical cancer cell lines were selected to test K11 for 72 h at multiple concentrations to determine 50% effective doses. Results showed that the 14 cell lines were affected by K11 quantities lower than 10 μM. The structure of K11 , which is particularly effective on breast cancers, can be used to slow down the progression of tumors. Furthermore, the discovery of more effective compounds can be carried out on the basis of this structure.

A novel series of triazole derivatives 11a–11j is synthesized. Structures of the products are confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral data. The anticancer activities of compounds 11a–11j are evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, A549, and A375) using the standard MTT assay in vitro, using doxorubicin as the positive control. All the compounds exhibit significant activity against cancer cell lines. The compounds 11a, 11d, 11e, 11g, and 11j demonstrate more potent activity than the positive control.

     

Synthesis and Anticancer Activity of Novel Nonfused Bicyclic Thiazolidinone Derivatives

A series of new 2-{4-oxo-2-[(4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)-hydrazono]-thiazolidin-5-yl}-N-arylacetamides ( 4a–e ), 5-(2-oxo-2-aryl-ethyl)-2-[(4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)-hydrazono]-thiazolidine-4-ones ( 5a–d ), 2-(4-oxo-2-[(2-oxothiazolidin-4-ylidene)-hydrazono]-thiazolidin-5-yl)-N-arylacetamides ( 7a–e ), and 5-(2-oxo-2-aryl-ethyl)-2-[(2-oxothiazolidin-4-ylidene)-hydrazono]-thiazolidine-4-ones ( 8a–d ) have been synthesized starting from 2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one and 4-thioxothiazolidin-2-one through a multistep reaction sequence. 2-Thioxothiazolidin-4-one was alkylated via the intermediate formation of the triethylammonium salt 1 by ethyl chloroacetate. Compound 2 and 4-thioxothiazolidin-2-one reacted with thiosemicarbazides to give the 1-(4-thiazolidinone-2-ylidene)-4-R-thiosemicarbazones ( 3a,b ) and 1-(2-thiazolidinone-4-ylidene)thiosemicarbazones ( 6a,b ), respectively. Following [2+3]-cyclization of thiazolidinone-substituted thiosemicarbazones ( 3a,b and 6a,b) with N-arylmaleimides and aroylacrylic acids as equivalents of dielectrophilic synthon [C₂]^{2 +}, novel non-fused bicyclic thiazolidinones ( 4a–e, 5a–d, 7a–e, 8a–d ) were synthesized. The structures of the new compounds ( 4a–e, 5a–d, 7a–e, 8a–d ) were established on the basis of their elemental analysis and ¹H NMR and mass spectral data. Eight of the synthesized compounds were tested, and three of them displayed different levels of antitumor activity. The most efficient antitumor agent—2-{4-oxo-3-furylmethyl-2-[(4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)-hydrazono]-thiazolidin-5-yl}-N-4-chlorophenylacetamide ( 4d ) was found to be active against leukemia, melanoma, lung, colon, CNS, ovarian, renal, prostate, and breast cancer cell lines with mean lgGI₅₀ and lgTGI values of –5.35 and –4.78, respectively.

Design,Synthesis, and Anticancer Activity Studies of Novel Quinoline-Chalcone Derivatives

The chalcone and quinoline scaffolds are frequently utilized to design novel anticancer agents. As the continuation of our work on effective anticancer agents, we assumed that linking chalcone fragment to the quinoline scaffold through the principle of molecular hybridization strategy could produce novel compounds with potential anticancer activity. Therefore, quinoline-chalcone derivatives were designed and synthesized, and we explored their antiproliferative activity against MGC-803, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cells. Among these compounds, compound 12e exhibited a most excellent inhibitory potency against MGC-803, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cells with IC₅₀ values of 1.38, 5.34, and 5.21 µM, respectively. The structure–activity relationship of quinoline-chalcone derivatives was preliminarily explored in this report. Further mechanism studies suggested that compound 12e inhibited MGC-803 cells in a dose-dependent manner and the cell colony formation activity of MGC-803 cells, arrested MGC-803 cells at the G2/M phase and significantly upregulated the levels of apoptosis-related proteins (Caspase3/9 and cleaved-PARP) in MGC-803 cells. In addition, compound 12e could significantly induce ROS generation, and was dependent on ROS production to exert inhibitory effects on gastric cancer cells. Taken together, all the results suggested that directly linking chalcone fragment to the quinoline scaffold could produce novel anticancer molecules, and compound 12e might be a valuable lead compound for the development of anticancer agents.     

Synthesis and Anticancer Activity of Some New Fused Pyrazoles and Their Glycoside Derivatives

4‐(4‐Chlorobenzylidene)‐2,5‐diphenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐3H‐pyrazol‐3‐one 3a and 4‐(3,4‐dimethoxybenzylidene)‐5‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐3H‐pyrazol‐3‐one 3b were prepared and were reacted with phenylhydrazine, thiosemicarbazide, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, ethyl acetoacetate, diethylmalonate, malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate, and thiourea yielding fused pyrazole derivatives. Some of the new compounds were reacted with cyclic and acyclic sugars to produce new S‐, O‐, and N‐glycoside derivatives. The antitumor activity against the human breast cancer cells (MCF‐7) was assessed. Four of the new compounds showed IC₅₀ values less than those of the positive control, indicating that these four compounds are better anticancer agents than doxorubicin.

Various new substituted and fused pyridotriazepine analogues have been synthesized via different synthetic pathways. Among which are different heterocyclic compounds consisting of the pyridotriazepine backbone fused to different heterocyclic systems comprising either substituted pyrimidine nucleus such as compounds 3 – 9 or substituted 4‐aminopyridine nucleus such as compounds 10 – 16 . Besides, the tetrahydroquinoline derivative 17 , [1,2,4]triazolopyrimidine derivative 18 , thienodiazocine derivative 19 , dihydrobenzofuropyridine derivative 20 , and the substituted pyrrole derivative 21 were synthesized.

Twenty‐five of the newly synthesized compounds were subjected to in vitro anticancer screening against mammalian colon carcinoma HCT‐116 cell line using Cisplatin as a reference drug. The anticancer activity screening results revealed that among the tested compounds, the tetrahydropyrido[1,2‐b]pyrimido[4,5‐e][1,2,4]triazepine derivative 4 substituted at C₂ and C₄ positions with S‐methyl and amino moieties, respectively, and the 2,4‐dithioxo analogue 9 and the 2‐thioxodipyrido[1,2‐b:2′,3′‐e][1,2,4]triazepine derivative 11 substituted at C₃ and C₄ with a cyano and amino moieties, respectively, exhibited moderate to strong anticancer activity against mammalian colon carcinoma HCT‐116 cell line.
