Breast cancer is classified into three groups according to its expression of hormone/growth factor receptors: (i) estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)-positive; (ii) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive; and (iii) ER, PR, and HER2-negative (triple-negative). A series of methoxy-substituted biisoquinoline compounds have been synthesized as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for the triple-negative breast cancers which are especially challenging to manage. Structure activity relationship study revealed that rigid 6,6'-dimethoxy biisoquinoline imidazolium compound (1c, DH20931) exhibited the significant growth inhibitory effects on both triple-positive and triple-negative human breast cancer cell lines with IC50 in the range of 0.3-3.9 μM. The 1c (DH20931) is more potent than structurally related noscapine for growth inhibition of MCF7 cell line (IC50=1.3 vs 57 μM) and MDA-MB231 cell line (IC50=3.9 vs 64 μM).
乳腺癌根据其激素/生长因子受体的表达分为三组:(i)雌激素受体(ER)和孕激素受体(PR)阳性;(ii)人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)阳性;以及(iii)ER、PR和HER2阴性(三阴性)。一系列甲氧基取代的双异喹啉化合物已被合成,作为治疗三阴性乳腺癌的潜在化疗药物,这类癌症的治疗尤其具有挑战性。构效关系研究表明,刚性的6,6'-二甲氧基双异喹啉咪唑鎓化合物(1c,DH20931)对三阳性和三阴性人乳腺癌细胞系均表现出显著的生长抑制作用,IC50范围为0.3 - 3.9 μM。在MCF7细胞系(IC50 = 1.3对57 μM)和MDA - MB231细胞系(IC50 = 3.9对64 μM)的生长抑制方面,1c(DH20931)比结构相关的那可丁更有效。
