Cancer patients frequently suffer from cancer-related fatigue (CRF), which is a complex syndrome associated with weakness and depressed mood. Neuroinflammation is one of the major inducers of CRF. The aim of this study is to find a potential agent not only on the treatment of cancer, but also for reducing CRF level of cancer patients. In this study, total-thirty new Dihydroartemisinin-Coumarin hybrids (DCH) were designed and synthesized. The in vitro cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines (HT-29, MDA-MB-231, HCT-116, and A549) was evaluated. Simultaneously, we also tested the anti-neuroinflammatory activity of DCH. DCH could inhibit the activated microglia N9 release of NO, TNF-α, and IL-6. The docking analysis was shown that MD-2, the coreceptor of TLR4, might be one of the targets of DCH.
癌症患者经常患有与癌症相关的疲劳(CRF),这是一种与虚弱和情绪低落有关的复杂综合征。神经炎症是 CRF 的主要诱因之一。本研究旨在寻找一种不仅能治疗癌症,而且能降低癌症患者 CRF 水平的潜在药物。在这项研究中,总共设计并合成了 30 种新型青蒿素-香豆素杂合化合物(DCH)。评估了它们对癌细胞系(HT-29、MDA-MB-231、HCT-116 和 A549)的体外细胞毒性。同时,我们还测试了 DCH 的抗神经炎症活性。DCH 可以抑制激活的小胶质细胞 N9 释放的 NO、TNF-α 和 IL-6。对接分析表明,TLR4 的核心受体 MD-2 可能是 DCH 的靶标之一。
