A series of eight polymethoxychalcone Mannich base derivatives 2a-2h was synthesized via the microwave-assisted Mannich reaction of natural product 2'-hydroxy-3,4,4',5,6'-pentamethoxychalcone (1) with various secondary amines and formaldehyde. Compared to conventional heating method (80°C), the microwave-assisted method (700W, 65°C) is efficient with short reaction time (0.5-1 h) and good yields (74-88%). The antiproliferative activities of eight Mannich base derivatives were evaluated in vitro on a panel of three human cancer cell lines (Hela, HCC1954 and SK-OV-3) by CCK-8 assay. The results showed that all of the Mannich base derivatives exhibited potential antiproliferative activities on tested cancer cell lines with the IC50 values of 9.13-48.51 µM. Some active compounds exhibited more activity as compared to positive control cis-Platin. Among them, compound 2b revealed to have the strongest antiproliferative activity against all the three cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 9.13 to 11.24 µM.

Cacti fruits are known to possess antioxidant and antiproliferative activities among other health benefits. The following paper evaluated the antioxidant capacity and bioactivity of five clarified juices from different cacti fruits (Stenocereus spp., Opuntia spp. and M. geomettizans) on four cancer cell lines as well as one normal cell line. Their antioxidant compositions were measured by three different protocols. Their phenolic compositions were quantified through high performance liquid chromatography and the percentages of cell proliferation of fibroblasts as well as breast, prostate, colorectal, and liver cancer cell lines were evaluated though in vitro assays. The results were further processed by principal component analysis. The clarified juice from M. geomettizans fruit showed the highest concentration of total phenolic compounds and induced cell death in liver and colorectal cancer cells lines as well as fibroblasts. The clarified juice extracted from yellow Opuntia ficus-indica fruit displayed antioxidant activity as well as a selective cytotoxic effect on a liver cancer cell line with no toxic effect on fibroblasts. In conclusion, the work supplies evidence on the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities that cacti juices possess, presenting potential as cancer cell proliferation preventing agents.

A series of 2-arylidene-N-(quinolin-6-yl)hydrazine-1-carboxamides 5a–5o were synthesized and characterized. The synthesized compounds (5a–5o) were screened in vitro against three breast cancer cell lines: SKBR3, MDA-MB-231, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines by the MTT assay. According to MTT results, compounds 5k and 5l showed better antiproliferative activities over MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values of 8.50 and 12.51 μM. Colony formation assay indicated 5k/5l treatment obviously inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells and 5k/5l-induced cell cycle was arrested in the G2-M phase. Moreover, 5k/5l significantly increased the level of cleaved PARP and induced the apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. In addition, compared to Hela cells, MCF-7 cells were more sensitive to 5k/5l treatment.

The antiproliferative activities of 12-oxoheteronemin and heteronemin were evaluated in six cancer cell lines and IC50 values ranging from 0.66 to 1.35 μM were obtained. In four of the cell lines, 12-oxoheteronemin and heteronemin were equipotent; however, in two estrogenic receptor-positive cell lines, heteronemin showed a stronger potency. Both compounds had no overt effects on cell cycle distribution in HeLa cells, but did rapidly initiate apoptosis as evidenced by increased sub-G1 populations of cells and caspase-dependent PARP cleavage.

Background: Histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACIs) with different chemical structures have been reported to play an important role in the treatment of cancer. Objective: The study aims to modify the structure of Entinostat (MS-275) to discover new compounds with improved anti-proliferative activities and perform SAR studies on this class of bioactive compounds. Methods: Fourteen N-substituted benzamide derivatives were synthesized and their antiproliferative activities were tested with four cancer cell lines (MCF-7, A549, K562 and MDA-MB- 231) by MTT assay. Results: Compared with MS-275, six compounds exhibited comparable or even better antiproliferative activities against specific/certain cancer cell lines. Conclusion: The preliminary SARs showed that (ⅰ) the 2-substituent of the phenyl ring in the R group and heteroatoms of amide which can chelate with zinc ion are critical to the antiproliferative activity and (ⅱ) chlorine atom or nitro-group on the same benzene ring largely decreases their anti-proliferative activity. Molecular docking study illustrated the interaction (binding affinity) between the synthesized compounds and HDAC2 was observed to be similar to that of MS-275.
