A new series of di-spirooxindole analogs, engrafted with oxindole and cyclohexanone moieties, were synthesized. Initially, azomethine ylides were generated via reaction of the substituted isatins (isatin, , 6-chloroisatin, , 5-fluoroisatin, , 5-nitroisatin, , 5-methoxyisatin, , and 5-methylisatin, , and (2)-octahydro-1-indole-2-carboxylic acid , in situ azomethine ylides reacted with the cyclohexanone based-chalcone to afford the target di-spirooxindole compounds . This one-pot method provided diverse structurally complex molecules, with biologically relevant spirocycles in a good yields. All synthesized di-spirooxindole analogs, engrafted with oxindole and cyclohexanone moieties, were evaluated for their anticancer activity against four cancer cell lines, including prostate PC3, cervical HeLa, and breast (MCF-7, and MDA-MB231) cancer cell lines. The cytotoxicity of these di-spirooxindole analogs was also examined against human fibroblast BJ cell lines, and they appeared to be non-cytotoxic. Compound was identified as the most active member of this series against prostate cancer cell line PC3 (IC = 3.7 ± 1.0 µM). The cyclohexanone engrafted di-spirooxindole analogs and (IC = 7.1 ± 0.2, and 7.2 ± 0.5 µM, respectively) were active against HeLa cancer cells, whereas NO substituted isatin ring and -fluoro-substituted (2,6)-2,6-dibenzylidenecyclohexanone containing (IC = 7.63 ± 0.08 µM) appeared to be a promising agent against the triple negative breast cancer MDA-MB231 cell line. To explore the plausible mechanism of anticancer activity of di-spirooxindole analogs, molecular docking studies were investigated which suggested that spirooxindole analogs potentially inhibit the activity of MDM2.
一系列新的二螺[吲哚啉-3,3-吡咯烷]类似物被合成,其中引入了吲哚啉和环己酮部分。最初,通过取代的色胺酮(色胺、、6-氯色胺、、5-氟色胺、、5-硝基色胺、、5-甲氧基色胺、、和 5-甲基色胺、、和(2)-八氢-1-吲哚-2-羧酸的反应,原位生成亚胺叶立德,然后与基于环己酮的查尔酮反应,得到目标二螺[吲哚啉]化合物。这种一锅法提供了多种结构复杂的分子,以良好的收率得到具有生物相关性的螺环。所有合成的二螺[吲哚啉]类似物,引入了吲哚啉和环己酮部分,都对它们对前列腺 PC3、宫颈 HeLa 和乳腺癌(MCF-7 和 MDA-MB231)癌细胞系的抗癌活性进行了评估。这些二螺[吲哚啉]类似物对人成纤维细胞 BJ 细胞系的细胞毒性也进行了检测,结果表明它们没有细胞毒性。化合物被鉴定为该系列中对前列腺癌细胞系 PC3 最具活性的成员(IC = 3.7 ± 1.0 µM)。引入环己酮的二螺[吲哚啉]类似物和(IC = 7.1 ± 0.2 和 7.2 ± 0.5 µM,分别)对 HeLa 癌细胞具有活性,而含有-NO 取代的吲哚环和-氟取代的(2,6)-2,6-二苄叉基环己酮的 (IC = 7.63 ± 0.08 µM)对三阴性乳腺癌 MDA-MB231 细胞系似乎是一种很有前途的药物。为了探索二螺[吲哚啉]类似物抗癌活性的可能机制,进行了分子对接研究,结果表明螺[吲哚啉]类似物可能抑制 MDM2 的活性。
