On account of their significance as apoptosis inducing agents, merging indole and 3-hydrazinoindolin-2-one scaffolds is a logic tactic for designing pro-apoptotic agents. Consequently, 27 hybrids (6a-r, 9a-f and 11a-c) were synthesised and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against MCF-7, HepG-2 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. SAR studies unravelled that N-propylindole derivatives were the most active compounds such as 6n (MCF-7; IC=1.04 µM), which displayed a significant decrease of cell population in the G2/M phase and significant increase in the early and late apoptosis by 19-folds in Annexin-V-FTIC assay. Also, 6n increased the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, cytochrome C and Bax and decreased the expression of Bcl-2. Moreover, compounds 6i, 6j, 6n and 6q generated ROS by significant increase in the level of SOD and depletion of the levels of CAT and GSH-Px in MCF-7.
鉴于吲哚和3-肼基吲哚啉-2-酮支架作为凋亡诱导剂的重要性,将它们融合是设计促凋亡剂的合理策略。因此,合成了27种杂合物(6a-r、9a-f和11a-c),并评估了它们对MCF-7、HepG-2和HCT-116癌细胞系的细胞毒性。构效关系研究表明,N-丙基吲哚衍生物是最具活性的化合物,如6n(MCF-7;IC=1.04 µM),在Annexin-V-FTIC检测中,其在G2/M期细胞数量显著减少,早期和晚期凋亡显著增加19倍。此外,6n增加了caspase-3、caspase-9、细胞色素C和Bax的表达,降低了Bcl-2的表达。此外,化合物6i、6j、6n和6q通过显著增加MCF-7中SOD水平以及消耗CAT和GSH-Px水平而产生活性氧。
