A series of hybrids 10a-v based on coumarin/pyrazole oxime have been synthesized, and exhibit good to excellent antitumor activities. Compound 10n has shown remarkable anticancer effect on SMMC-7721 cells (IC = 2.08 μM), which is considerably lower than 5-FU (IC = 37.8 μM) and similar to ADM (IC = 2.67 μM), with little effect on normal hepatic cells LO2. Notably, the suppression experiments of metastatic activities reveal that 10n also displays significant anti-metastasis effects through inhibiting cell migration and invasion in highly metastatic SMMC-7721 cell line, and dose-dependently reverses TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) procedure better than ADM. Finally, 10n also possesses low acute toxicity and potent tumor growth inhibitory property against SMMC-7721 cell lines in vivo. Our findings suggest that novel coumarin/pyrazole oxime hybrids are promising therapeutic agent candidates for further research.
已经合成了一系列基于香豆素/吡唑肟的杂种 10a-v,并表现出良好到优异的抗肿瘤活性。化合物 10n 对 SMMC-7721 细胞表现出显著的抗癌作用(IC=2.08μM),明显低于 5-FU(IC=37.8μM),与 ADM(IC=2.67μM)相似,对正常肝细胞 LO2 的影响较小。值得注意的是,转移活性抑制实验表明,10n 通过抑制高转移性 SMMC-7721 细胞系中的细胞迁移和侵袭,也表现出显著的抗转移作用,并比 ADM 更能剂量依赖性地逆转 TGF-β1 诱导的上皮-间充质转化(EMT)过程。最后,10n 在体内也对 SMMC-7721 细胞系具有低急性毒性和强大的肿瘤生长抑制作用。我们的研究结果表明,新型香豆素/吡唑肟杂种是进一步研究的有前途的治疗剂候选物。
