A series of novel pyrrolo[2,1-c][l,4]benzodiazepine (PBD)-polyamide conjugates (1 and 2) and 2,2'-PBD dimers (3, 4 and 5) were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity in >60 human tumor cell lines. In general PBD-polyamide conjugates (1 and 2) exhibit higher cytotoxic potency compared with 2,2'-PBD dimers (3, 4 and 5). Compound 2 exhibits a wide spectrum of anticancer activities against 17 cell lines in six cancer panels with LC50 values of <9 microM, and is especially effective against colon cancer, melanoma, renal cancer and breast cancer. Compound 1 selectively affects cell growth against renal cancer A 498 cell line and compound 4 affects cell growth against breast cancer MDA-MB-231/ATCC cell line with an LC50 value 0.06 microM. Increases in the chain length of the linker in 2,2'-PBD dimers significantly increase the cytotoxic potency and increases in the number of pyrrole groups in the PBD-polyamide conjugates similarly increase the cytotoxic potency.
合成了一系列新型吡咯并[2,1-c][1,4]苯并二氮杂卓(PBD)-聚酰胺缀合物(1和2)以及2,2'-PBD二聚体(3、4和5),并在60多种人类肿瘤细胞系中评估了它们的细胞毒性。总体而言,与2,2'-PBD二聚体(3、4和5)相比,PBD-聚酰胺缀合物(1和2)表现出更高的细胞毒性效力。化合物2对六个癌症组中的17种细胞系具有广泛的抗癌活性,半数致死浓度(LC50)值<9微摩尔,尤其对结肠癌、黑色素瘤、肾癌和乳腺癌有效。化合物1选择性地影响肾癌A 498细胞系的细胞生长,化合物4影响乳腺癌MDA-MB-231/ATCC细胞系的细胞生长,LC50值为0.06微摩尔。2,2'-PBD二聚体中连接子链长度的增加显著提高了细胞毒性效力,PBD-聚酰胺缀合物中吡咯基团数量的增加同样提高了细胞毒性效力。
