A simple and efficient method was developed for the synthesis of pyrazole derivatives via a one-pot reaction of 1,3-diketone and substituted hydrazines in the presence of nano-SnCl4/SiO2 as a mild catalyst. A series of some pyrazole derivatives (P1-P11) was synthesized and evaluated as antifungal and anti-cancer agents. Compounds P10 and P11 were demonstrated. The antimicrobial activities of the synthetic compounds showed that compounds P10 and P11 most excellently inhibited the growth of dermatophytes or Aspergillus species, respectively. Therefore, the cytotoxic activities of these compounds on two human cancer cell lines, A549 (lung cancer) and MCF-7 (breast cancer) were further assessed. Hence, results demonstrated that beside antifungal activity, P10 had also desirable cytotoxic effect on investigated cancerous cell lines, even higher than cisplatin.

Background: Cancer incidence and mortality have been increasing and cancer is still the leading cause of death all over the world. Despite the enormous progress in cancer treatment, many patients died of ineffective chemotherapy and drug resistance. Therefore, the design and development of anti-cancer drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity is still one of the most challenging tasks. Tricyclic heterocycles, such as phenothiazine, are always important sources of scaffolds for anti-cancer drug discovery. Methods: In this work, ten new urea-containing derivatives of phenothiazine coupled with different kinds of amine motifs at the endpoint through a three carbon long spacer were designed and synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated and confirmed by 1H NMR and HRMS. All the synthesized compounds were tested for their antitumor activity in vitro against the proliferation of PC-3 cells, and the compounds with best potency entered further cytotoxicity evaluations against other 22 human tumor cell lines. Mechanism was also studied. Results: From all data, it showed that among all 10 target compounds, TTi-2 showed the best effect in inhibiting the proliferation of 23 human cancer cell lines while TTi-2 without obvious inhibitory effect on normal cell. Furthermore, our results also showed that TTi-2 could inhibit migration, invasion and colony formation of MDA-MB-231 cells. Finally, TTi-2 can induce arrest of cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and cell apoptosis by activating the caspase 3 activity. Conclusion: All these results suggested that TTi-2 might be used as a promising lead compound for anticancer drug development.

Abstract Background During the last recent years, several anti-cancer agents were introduced for the treatment of diverse kinds of cancer. Despite their potential in the treatment of cancer, drug resistance and adverse toxicity such as peripheral neuropathy are some of the negative criteria of anti-cancer agents and for this reason, the design and synthesis of new anti-cancer agents are important. Objective Design, synthesis, and anticancer activity evaluation of some pyrazole derivatives. Methods A series of Target compounds were prepared using multistep synthesis. Their cytotoxic activity against three different human cancer cell lines namely human colon carcinoma cells (HT-29), epithelial carcinoma cells (U-87MG), pancreatic cancerous cells (Panc-1) as well as AGO1522 normal cell line using in vitro 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was investigated. Results 1,3-Diaryl-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole and 1,3-Diaryl-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)- 1H-pyrazole were synthesized in good yields and their structure and purity were confirmed using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and elemental analysis. Generally, the synthesized scaffolds exhibited good cytotoxicity against cancerous cell lines in comparison to the reference standard, paclitaxel. Compounds 3a and 3c, in Annexin V/ PI staining assay, exerted remarkable activity in apoptosis induction in HT-29 cell lines. Both of them also led to cell cycle arrest in the sub-G1 phase which is inconsistent with the results of apoptosis assay. Conclusion Concerning obtained results, it is interesting to synthesis more pyrazole derivatives as anticancer agents.

AbstractSix new neo-clerodane diterpenoids (1–6), scutebatas X – Z, A1-C1, along with twelve known ones (7–18) were obtained via the phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Scutellaria barbata. Their structures were established by detailed spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2, as the representative members of this type, were identified based on a circular dichroic exciton chirality method. Moreover, in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1–6 were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (SGC-7901, MCF-7, and A-549) using the MTT method. Compound 6 showed cytotoxic activities against all the three cell lines with IC50 values of 17.9, 29.9, and 35.7 µM, respectively.

Methanol (MeOH), dichloromethane (DCM) and 80% MeOH extractions of fourteen medicinal plants of the families Solanaceae and Lamiaceae collected from different area of Iran were tested for their cytotoxic potential against MOLT-4 human cancer cell lines. Cytotoxicity of the tested plants indicated that 11 plants had one or two active extracts (IC50 ≤50): MeOH extracts of the shoots of Thymus trautvetteri, Solanum luteum and stems of Lycium shawii; DCM extracts of the shoots of Thymus kotschyanus, Salvia persepolitana, Ballota aucheri, Nepeta glomerulosa, Hyoscyamus tenuicaulis, Salvia lachnocalyx, Salvia sharifii as well as the stems of Salvia verticillata and the roots of Salvia multicaulis and S. lachnocalyx; 80% MeOH extracts of the shoots of T. trautvetteri, S. luteum and the stems of L. shawii. The DCM extract of the aerial parts of S. lachnocalyx as one of the most active species was subjected to the cytotoxic bioassay-guided fractionation and purification using combination of chromatography methods. The bioassay-guided fractionation of DCM extract of the shoots of S. lachnocalyx led to the isolation of two cytotoxic compounds: (2 Z,6 Z,10 Z,14 E)-geranylfarnesol (1), a novel natural product, and spathulenol (2). Both of the isolated compounds, especially 1 (IC50 range: 9.6 −20.2 μg/mL), showed good cytotoxic effects against 3 human cancer cell lines, MOLT-4, MCF-7 and HT-29.

We investigated the cytotoxic activities of crocin and crocetin, 2 major carotenoids isolated from the stigma of Crocus sativus (saffron), on 5 human cancer cell lines and proposed their possible anticancer mechanisms. Crocetin, a glycosylated carotenoid, showed approximately 5- to 18-fold higher cytotoxicity than crocin, a carboxylic carotenoid (IC50 of 0.16–0.61 mmol/L for crocetin vs. 2.0–5.5 mmol/L for crocin). This suggests that structural differences account for the different efficacies between them. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis showed that crocetin induced a significant level of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HeLa cells, whereas crocin did not. This ROS induction supported the cytotoxicity of crocetin, but not of crocin. A significant activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) was observed in both HeLa cells treated with crocin and crocetin: a 3.0-fold increase by 1 mmol/L crocetin and a 1.6-fold increase by 0.8 mmol/L crocin compared to the control. Furthermore, both crocetin and crocin reduced the protein expression of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), one of the targets for chemoprevention in cancer cells, by 34.2% and 10.5%, respectively, compared to the control in HeLa cells. These findings suggest that crocetin and crocin have different mechanisms for their observed cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines.

AbstractSynthesis of tubulysin analogues, containing an N-methyl substituent on tubuvaline-amide together with the replacement of either the hydrophobic N-terminal N-methyl pipecolic acid (Mep) or at both N- and C- terminal peptides with available heteroaromatic acids and an unsaturated tubuphenylalanine moiety, respectively, were described. The in vitro cytotoxic activity by SRB assay on five cancer cell lines for sixteen tubulysins was evaluated. Among them, five analogues exhibited strong cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines, including human breast carcinoma (MCF7), human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29), HL-60, SW-480, human lung adenocarcinoma (A459). Interestingly, one analogue showed the strongest cytotoxicity on all five tested cell lines even much higher toxicity than the reference compound ellipticine.
