Abstract:

Aiming to search for novel anti-lung cancer active compounds, 1,3-dipoles were obtained by decarboxy-lation of isatin with sarcosine, proline and thioproline, respectively, and then 1,3-dipole cycloaddition reactions were carried out with 3-(1H-indol-4-yl)-1-(2-pyrimidinyl)-2-propen-1-one as the dipole philophore to obtain a total of 33 target compounds. Their structures were characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum, nuclear magnetic resonance carbon spectrum and high Resolution mass spectrometry, and the relative configurations was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The in vitro inhibitory activities of the target compound on cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line(A549/DDP) and human non-small cell lung cancer cell line(A549) were determined by the cell counting kit-8. This type of compound had good inhibitory activity against both A549 and A549/DDP cells, and had high selectivity against the drug-resistant strain A549/DDP. Compound 4cj showed excellent inhibitory activity[half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)=(0.037±0.002) μmol/L] and selectivity against A549/DDP, which was more than 60 times that of the positive control drug cisplatin[IC50=(2.496±0.117) μmol/L], and could significantly block the cell quiescence(G0) and DNA synthesis prophase(G1) of A549/DDP cells, induce cell apoptosis and inhibit cell migration ability, its mechanism of action may be associated with the Janus kinase(JAK) and P-glycoprotein targets(P-gp). The above results indicated that compound 4cj can be used as a lead compound for further research and development into a highly efficient and selective anti-lung cancer drug.
