Nine halogenated monoterpenes isolated from the red alga Plocamium cartilagineum have been evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on the tumor cell lines CT26 (murine colon adenocarcinoma), SW480 (human colon adenocarcinoma), HeLa (human cervical adenocarcinoma) and SkMel28 (human malignant melanoma) with several multidrug resistance mechanisms and the mammalian non-tumor cell line CHO (Chinese hamster ovary cells). The activities of these compounds were compared with those of the insecticide γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) due to chemical structure similarities. Compounds 1, 2, 3, and 5 exhibited selective cytotoxicity against colon and cervical adenocarcinoma cells. Interestingly, the effect of compound 3 was specific and irreversible to human colon adenocarcinoma SW480 cells, which overexpress the transmembrane P-glycoprotein often related to chemoresistance. None of the anti-tumor doses of these compounds was cytotoxic against CHO cells. Furthermore, analysis of cellular extracts after incubation with the test compounds and rotenone (positive uptake control) demonstrated the intracellular accumulation of 1, 2, 3, and 5.

Summary Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the potential for radioimmunodetection (RAID) of murine anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody (MAb) F33-104 labeled with technetium-99m (99m-Tc) by a reduction-mediated labeling method. Methods: The binding capacity of 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb F33-104 with CEA by means of in vitro procedures such as immunoradiometric assay and cell binding assay and the biodistribution of 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb F33-104 in normal nude mice and nude mice bearing human colon adenocarcinoma LS180 tumor were investigated and compared with 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb BW431/26. Results: The in vitro binding rate of 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb F33-104 with CEA in solution and attached to the cell membrane was significantly higher than 99m-Tclabeled anti-CEA MAb BW431/261 (31.4 ± 0.95% vs. 11.9 ± 0.55% at 100 ng/mL of soluble CEA, 83.5 ± 2.84% vs. 54.0 ± 2.54% at 107 of LS 180 cells). In vivo, accumulation of 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb F33-104 was higher at 18 h postinjection than 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb BW431/26 (20.1 ± 3.50% ID/g vs. 14.4 ± 3.30% ID/g). 99m-Tcactivity in the kidneys of nude mice bearing tumor was higher at 18 h postinjection than at 3 h (12.8 ± 2.10% ID/g vs. 8.01 ± 2.40% ID/g of 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb F33-104, 10.7 ± 1.70% ID/g vs. 8.10 ± 1.75% ID/g of 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb BW431/26). Conclusion: 99m-Tc-labeled anti-CEA MAb F33-104 is a potential novel agent for RAID of recurrent colorectal cancer.

Background: Extensive studies were reported in the synthesis of several phthalazine derivatives as promising anticancer agents as potent VEGFR-2 inhibitors. Vatalanib (PTK787) was the first anilinophthalazine published derivative as a potent inhibitor of VEGFR. The discovery of vatalanib as a clinical candidate led to the design and synthesis of different anilinophthalazine derivatives as potent inhibitors for VEGFR-2. The objective of present research work is the synthesis of new agents with the same essential pharmacophoric features of the reported and clinically used VEGFR-2 inhibitors (e.g vatalanib and sorafenib). The main core of our molecular design rationale comprised bioisosteric modification strategies of VEGFR-2 inhibitors at four different positions. </P><P> Material and Methods: A correlation between structure and biological activity of our designed phthalazines was established using molecular docking and VEGFR-2 kinase assay. Results and Discussion: In view of their expected anticancer activity, novel triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine derivatives 5-6a-o and 3-substituted-bis([1,2,4]triazolo)[3,4-a:4',3'-c]phthalazines 9a-b were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity against two human tumor cell lines HCT-116 human colon adenocarcinoma and MCF-7 breast cancer. It was found that, compound 6o the most potent derivative against both HCT116 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. Compounds 6o, 6m, 6d and 9b showed the highest anticancer activities against HCT116 human colon adenocarcinoma with IC50 of 7±0.06, 13±0.11, 15±0.14 and 23±0.22 µM respectively while compounds 6o, 6d, 6a and 6n showed the highest anticancer activities against MCF-7 breast cancer with IC50 of 16.98±0.15, 18.2±0.17, 57.54±0.53 and 66.45±0.67 µM respectively. Sorafenib as a highly potent VEGFR-2 inhibitor was used as a reference drug with IC50 of 5.47±0.3 and 7.26±0.3 µM respectively. Nine compounds were further evaluated for their VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity. Compounds 6o, 6m, 6d and 9b emerged as the most active counterparts against VEGFR-2 with IC50 values of 0.1±0.01, 0.15±0.02, 0.28±0.03 and 0.38±0.04 µM, respectively comparable to that of sorafenib (IC50 = 0.1±0.02) µM. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were carried out for all synthesized compounds to investigate their binding pattern and predict their binding affinities towards VEGFR-2 active site. In silico ADMET studies were calculated for the tested compounds. Most of our designed compounds exhibited good ADMET profile. Conclusion: The obtained results showed that, the most active compounds could be useful as a template for future design, optimization, adaptation and investigation to produce more potent and selective VEGFR-2 inhibitors with higher anticancer analogs.
