Abstract Keeping in view the emerging need of potent and safer anti-breast cancer agents as well as pharmacological attributes of isatin, quinoline and morpholine derivatives, novel hydrazone linked morpholinated isatin-quinoline hybrids has been designed, synthesized and evaluated as anti-breast cancer agents. Synthesized hybrid compounds were preliminary screened against two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Almost all synthetics showed potent inhibitory potential against hormone positive MCF-7 cells while inactive against hormone negative MDA-MB-231 cells. Potent compounds were further evaluated against L929 (noncancerous skin fibroblast) cell line and found highly selective for MCF-7 cells over L929 cells. Cell cycle analysis confirmed that most potent compound AS-4 (MCF-7: GI50 = 4.36 µM) cause mitotic arrest at G2/M-phase. Due to higher selectivity toward estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) dependent MCF-7 cells various binding interactions of AS-4 with ERα are also streamlined, suggesting the capability of AS-4 in completely blocking ERα. Overall study suggest that, AS-4 can act as a potential lead for further development of potent and safer anti-breast cancer agents.

Diverse indoles and bis-indoles extracted from marine sources have been identified as promising anticancer leads. Herein, we designed and synthesized novel bis-indole series 7a–f and 9a–h as Topsentin and Nortopsentin analogs. Our design is based on replacing the heterocyclic spacer in the natural leads by a more flexible hydrazide linker while sparing the two peripheral indole rings. All the synthesized bis-indoles were examined for their antiproliferative action against human breast cancer (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) cell lines. The most potent congeners 7e and 9a against MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 0.44 ± 0.01 and 1.28 ± 0.04 μM, respectively) induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells (23.7-, and 16.8-fold increase in the total apoptosis percentage) as evident by the externalization of plasma membrane phosphatidylserine detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. This evidence was supported by the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio augmentation (18.65- and 11.1-fold compared to control) with a concomitant increase in the level of caspase-3 (11.7- and 9.5-fold) and p53 (15.4- and 11.75-fold). Both compounds arrested the cell cycle mainly in the G2/M phase. Furthermore, 7e and 9a displayed good selectivity toward tumor cells (S.I. = 38.7 and 18.3), upon testing of their cytotoxicity toward non-tumorigenic breast MCF-10A cells. Finally, compounds 7a, 7b, 7d, 7e, and 9a were examined for their plausible CDK2 inhibitory action. The obtained results (% inhibition range: 16%–58%) unveiled incompetence of the target bis-indoles to inhibit CDK2 significantly. Collectively, these results suggested that herein reported bis-indoles are good lead compounds for further optimization and development as potential efficient anti-breast cancer drugs.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is among the leading causes of death among women worldwide. Medical interest has focused on quinazolinone derivatives approved and utilized in antitumor medications. Objective: Novel quinazolinone-based oxobutanonitrile derivatives were designed, synthesized, and screened for in vitro anti-BC activity. Methods: The antiproliferative activities were determined using MTT assay against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. EGFR, ARO, and caspase-9 enzymes were selected to explore the mechanism of action of the most potent compounds. Results: Tested compounds showed better EGFRIs than ARIs. In addition, significant overexpression in caspase-9 level in treated MCF-7 breast cell line samples was observed with the most active compounds. The thienyl derivative 5 induced the greatest activation in caspase-9 level in treated MCF-7 breast cancer samples. The o-tolylhydrazone 3b, exhibiting promising ARO inhibition and weak EGFR inhibition, produced a noticeable high overexpression of caspase-9 and showed pre-G1 apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase for MCF-7 cells and at S-phase for MDA-MB-231 cells. Docking results revealed that 3b, elicited binding affinities to ARO comparable to those of letrozole. Conclusion: The obtained results support the therapeutic importance of some of these compounds as anti-BC agents in light of the simple methodology used for their synthesis. Their design offered a way for the optimization and development of apoptotic quinazolinone-based ARO and EGFR inhibitors.

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.

Two biotinylated derivatives of the main hop chalcone xanthohumol (1) were prepared by a one-step synthesis via esterification using biotin and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC HCl) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as coupling reagents. The products were characterized spectroscopically and their antiproliferative activity toward MCF-7, MCF-10A, HepG2, MDA-MB-231, 4T1 and Balb/3T3 cell lines was investigated using the SRB assay. For all three tested compounds the best activity was noted in the case of human (MCF-7) and mice (4T1) breast cancer cell lines (IC50 values < 9 μM). Both biotinylated derivatives showed higher anticancer activity than xanthohumol (1) towards all types of tested breast cancer cells. Double biotinylated xanthohumol (3) proved to be the most active in inhibiting cell growth, with IC50 values equal to 5.35 ± 1.5 μM for 4T1 and 8.03 ± 0.53 µM for MCF-7 cell lines. Compound 3 was also more active than 1 and 2 against liver cancer cells HepG2 (IC50 = 17.37 ± 5.1 μM), while the IC50 values for 1 and 2 were equal to 21.5 ± 2.7 and 22.1 ± 3.9 µM, respectively. 4‑O‑biotinylxanthohumol (2) was the second most active growth inhibitor, particularly with respect to MCF-7 (IC50 = 6.19 ± 1.7 μM) and 4T1 (IC50 = 6.64 ± 0.4 μM) cell lines. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using the 1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) method. All tested compounds (1-3) have antioxidant activity between 2.73 and 3.38 mM. It was reported for the first time that new prenylated chalcones containing the biotin moiety effectively inhibited proliferation of cancer cells in vitro.

The acid-catalyzed cyclization of benzylidenes based on 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate (16-DPA) was studied. It was found that these compounds readily undergo regioselective interrupted Nazarov cyclization with trapping chloride ion and an efficient method of the synthesis of d-annulated pentacyclic steroids based on this reaction was proposed. The structures of the synthesized pentacyclic steroids were determined by NMR and X-ray diffraction. It was found that the reaction affords a single diastereomer, but the latter can crystallize as two conformers depending on the structure. Antiproliferative activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated against two breast cancer cell lines: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. All tested compounds showed relatively high antiproliferative activity. The synthetic potential of the protocol developed was illustrated by the gram-scale experiment.

Background: This work reports design, synthesis, and in vitro cytotoxicity of novel coumarin-1,2,3-triazole-1,2,4-oxadiazole hybrids against three breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and T-47D. Methods: Synthetic procedure for the preparation of desired compounds was started from the reaction of coumarins or with propargyl bromide to give O-propargylated coumarins or 5. Then, click reaction between the later compounds and 3-aryl-5-(chloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles afforded the desired products in good yields. Results: Among the synthesized compounds, 4-((1-((3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5- yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-2H-chromen-2-one (9a) showed the best cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines. Conclusion: Compound 9a depicted the most activity toward MDA-MB-231 and T-47D cells while compounds 8a and 8c were the most potent compounds against MCF-7.
