A novel alkaloid scaffold was designed through scaffold-hopping strategy based on the active pyrazines alkaloid isolated previously. A total of 25 derivatives were synthesized based on this scaffold and evaluated for their antitumor activities. Among all these tested compounds, 9f exhibited most excellent antitumor activities toward H460 cells, TMD-8 cells, and MV4-11 cells in vitro by 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2 H-tetrazolium bromide assay with IC50 values of 29.8, 14.9, and 18.8 μM, respectively.

A series of new phenanthrene-based tylophorine derivatives (PBTs) were synthesized in good yield and their structures were characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy and ESI MS. In vitro antitumor activity of these compounds against five human carcinoma cell lines, including HCT116 (colorectal), BGC-823 (gastric), HepG-2 (hepatic), Hela (cervical) and H460 (lung) cells, was evaluated by MTT assay. Among these PBTs, compound 6b showed the highest antitumor activities against HCT116 and HepG-2 cell lines with IC50 values of 6.1 and 6.4 μM, respectively, which were comparable to that of adriamycin hydrochloride. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds was also discussed based on the results of their antitumor activity.

Abstract In the current paper, we describe the design, synthesis and antiproliferative screening of novel chloroquine derivatives with a quinoline core linked to a hydroxy or halogen amine through a flexible aminobutyl chain and urea spacer. Synthetic pathway leading to chloroquine urea derivatives 4-10 includes two crucial steps: i) synthesis of chloroquine benzotriazolide 3 and ii) formation of urea derivatives through the reaction of compound 3 with the corresponding amine. Testing of antiproliferative activity against four human cancer cell lines revealed that chloroquine urea derivatives 9 and 10 with aromatic moieties show activity at micromolar concentrations. Therefore, these molecules represent interesting lead compounds that might provide an insight into the design of new anticancer agents.

A series of bimetallic dppfM(II) (dppf = 1,1’-bis (diphenyphosphino) ferrocene; M = Pt and Pd) dithiocarbamate complexes is synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their antitumor activities in vitro are investigated by MTT assays against four cancer cell lines. The anticancer studies indicate most of the complexes display good to excellent antitumor activity. Remarkably, the platinum complex with a pyrrolidinyl substituent (3b) was identified as the most promising candidate due to its high potency and broad spectrum of activity.
