The paper presents a simple synthesis of new quinazolinone derivatives 13a-i. Synthesized derivatives were tested for their cytotoxic effect against three cancer cell lines including SKLU-1, MCF-7 and HepG-2. The bioassay result showed that only compound 13e exhibited significant cytotoxic effect against cancer cell lines tested with IC50 values of 9.48, 20.39 and 18.04 µg/ mL, respectively.

Abstract:: Since the ethylacetate (EtOAc) extract of the roots of Zhumeria majdae had the potent cytotoxic effect (IC50 < 50 μg/ml) on three cancer cell lines; MCF-7, PC3 and MDA-MB-231, therefore the purpous of this study is to isolation of the responcible cytotoxic compounds from the plant. Isolation of the extract led to the identification of four diterpenoids named as lanugon Q (1), 12,16-dideoxy aegyptinone B (2), 12-deoxy-salvipisone (3) and manool (4). The chemical structures have been determined on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments. Compound 1 is reported for the first time in the plants of Zhumeria genus. The results of cytotoxic and apoptotic evaluation revealed that compound 2 had the strong cytotoxic effect with the IC50 value of 15.90 μg/ml against MCF-7 cell lines. Sub-G1 peak in flow cytometry histogram of cells treated with EtOAc axtract and compound 2 showed the induction of apoptosis. Changes in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and cleavage of PARP were observed. It is to be noted that owing to strong cytotoxic effect, Z. majdae extract could be represented as therapeutic agent against cancer.

Some species of the Baccharis genus have been shown to possess important biomedical properties, including cytotoxic activity. In this study, we examined the cytotoxic effect of methanol extract from Baccharis obtusifolia (Asteraceae) in cancer cell lines of prostate (PC-3), colon (RKO), astrocytoma (D-384), and breast (MCF-7). The methanolic extract displayed the largest substantial cytotoxic effect in lines of colon cancer (RKO) and cerebral astrocytoma (D-384). Chromatographic purification of the B. obtusifolia methanolic extract led to the isolation and identification of 5,4′-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone (1) and 5-hydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxyflavone (2) compounds of the flavonoid type.

Three steroids, 3α-hydroxystigmast-5(6), 22-diene-7-one (1), stigmasterol (2) and 3-hydroxy-7β-methoxystigmast-5(6)-ene (3), were isolated from the stem bark of Dysoxylum nutans. The chemical structures were identified by spectroscopic data, which includes IR, 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR, and HR-TOFMS as well as by comparing previously reported spectral data. Compounds 1-3 were tested for cytotoxic effect against MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines and compound 1 showed the strongest cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 20.13 ± 0.06 μM.

The cytotoxicity of the brown alga Sargassum siliquastrum on human cancer cells (AGS, HT-29, HT-1080, and MCF-7) was investigated. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the crude extracts showed that the 85% aq. methanol (MeOH) fraction was the most toxic. Seven known meroterpenoids (1-7) were isolated from this cytotoxic fraction. Each compound was evaluated for its cytotoxic effect on human cancer cells. Compounds 1, 2, and 4 showed strong cytotoxicity against AGS, HT-29, and HT-1080 cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.5 to 5.7 μg/mL.
