A library of new pyrimidine analogs was designed and synthesized of these, compound K10 bearing a 1,4‑benzodioxane moiety and 3,4,5‑trimethoxyphenyl group, exhibiting the most potent activity, with IC values of 0.07-0.80 μM against four cancer cell lines. Cellular-based mechanism studies elucidated that K10 inhibited microtubule polymerization, blocked the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, and eventually induced apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Additionally, K10 inhibited the migration and invasion of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Overall, our work indicates that the tubulin polymerization inhibitor incorporating pyrimidine and the 3,4,5‑trimethoxyphenyl ring may deserve consideration for cancer therapy.
设计并合成了一系列新的嘧啶类似物库,其中化合物 K10 含有 1,4-苯并二恶烷部分和 3,4,5-三甲氧基苯基,表现出最强的活性,对四种癌细胞系的 IC 值为 0.07-0.80 μM。基于细胞的机制研究表明,K10 抑制微管聚合,将细胞周期阻滞在 G2/M 期,最终诱导 HepG2 细胞凋亡。此外,K10 以剂量依赖的方式抑制 HepG2 细胞的迁移和侵袭。总的来说,我们的工作表明,结合嘧啶和 3,4,5-三甲氧基苯基环的微管聚合抑制剂可能值得考虑用于癌症治疗。
