A novel curcumin mimic library (14a-14h and 15a-15h) possessing variously substituted benzimidazole groups was synthesized through the aldol reaction of (E)-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)but-3-en-2-one (7) or (E)-4-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)but-3-en-2-one (13) with diversely substituted benzimidazolyl-2-carbaldehyde (12a-12h). The MTT assay of the cancer cells MCF-7, SH-SY5Y, HEP-G2, and H460 showed that compound 14c with IC(50) of 1.0 and 1.9μM has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of SH-SY5Y and Hep-G2 cells, respectively, and that compound 15h with IC(50) of 1.9μM has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of MCF-7 cancer cells.
通过(E)-4-(4-羟基-3-甲氧基苯基)-3-丁烯-2-酮(7)或(E)-4-(3-羟基-4-甲氧基苯基)-3-丁烯-2-酮(13)与各种取代的苯并咪唑基-2-醛(12a-12h)的醛醇反应,合成了具有各种取代的苯并咪唑基团的新型姜黄素类似物库(14a-14h 和 15a-15h)。MTT 法测定 MCF-7、SH-SY5Y、HEP-G2 和 H460 癌细胞的结果表明,化合物 14c 的 IC50 分别为 1.0 和 1.9μM,对 SH-SY5Y 和 Hep-G2 细胞的生长具有很强的抑制作用,而化合物 15h 的 IC50 为 1.9μM,对 MCF-7 癌细胞的生长具有很强的抑制作用。
