The novel aroylthiourea analogue of podophyllotoxin HY-1 (4β-[benzoyl-thioureido]-4-deoxypodophyllotoxin) was synthesized in our laboratory with the aim of developing multitargeted DNA topoisomerase II inhibitors. The compound showed significant antiproliferative effects on seven cancer cell lines and induced G2 /M phase arrest in HCT116 cells. Moreover, HY-1 showed a potent inhibitory effect on topoisomerase II-mediated kinetoplast DNA decatenation in a dose-dependent manner. Our results showed that cdc2 phosphorylation and decreased cdc2 kinase acitivity through the ATR-Chk1-Cdc25C and Weel pathways were the central mechanisms for G2 /M phase arrest in human colon cancer cells.
新型芳酰基硫脲类鬼臼毒素类似物 HY-1(4β-[苯甲酰基-硫脲基]-4-去氧鬼臼毒素)由本实验室合成,目的是开发多靶点 DNA 拓扑异构酶 II 抑制剂。该化合物对七种癌细胞系具有显著的增殖抑制作用,并诱导 HCT116 细胞 G2/M 期阻滞。此外,HY-1 对拓扑异构酶 II 介导的动基体 DNA 解连环具有显著的抑制作用,呈剂量依赖性。我们的结果表明,cdc2 的磷酸化和通过 ATR-Chk1-Cdc25C 和 Weel 途径降低 cdc2 激酶活性是导致人结肠癌细胞 G2/M 期阻滞的中心机制。
