Synthesis, structure-activity relationships and biological evaluation of 7-phenyl-pyrroloquinolinone 3-amide derivatives as potent antimitotic agents.

ABSTRACT: A small library of 7-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinolinones was obtained by introducing benzoyl, sulfonyl and carbamoyl side chains at the 3-N position, and their cytotoxicity against a panel of leukemic and solid tumor cell lines was evaluated. Most of them showed high antiproliferative activity with GI50s ranging from micro-to sub-nanomolar values, and these values correlated well with the inhibitory activities of the compounds against tubulin polymerization. Based on a recently proposed colchicine bind site inhibitors (CBSIs) pharmacophore, the interactions of the novel 7-PPyQs at the colchicine domain were rationalized. The most active compounds (4a and 4b) did not induce significant cell death in normal human lymphocytes, suggesting that the compounds may be selective against cancer cells. In particular, 4a was a potent inducer of apoptosis in both the HeLa and Jurkat cell lines. On the other hand, the sulfonyl derivative 4b exhibited a lower potency in comparison with 4a. With both compounds, induction of apoptosis was associated with dissipation of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential and production of reactive oxygen species, suggesting that cells treated with the compounds followed the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis.

Project description:This study reports the formation of 5-FU co-crystals with four different pharmacologically safe co-formers; Urea, Thiourea, Acetanilide and Aspirin using methanol as a solvent. Two fabrication schemes were followed i.e., solid-state grinding protocol, in which API and co-formers were mixed through vigorous grinding while in the other method separate solutions of both the components were made and mixed together. The adopted approaches offer easy fabrication protocols, no temperature maintenance requirements, no need of expensive solvents, hardly available apparatus, isolation and purification of the desired products. In addition, there is no byproducts formation, In fact, a phenomenon embracing the requirements of green synthesis. Through FTIR analysis; for API the N-H absorption frequency was recorded at 3409.02 cm-1 and that of -C[bond, double bond]O was observed at 1647.77 cm-1. These characteristics peaks of 5-FU were significantly shifted and recorded at 3499.40 cm-1 and 1649.62 cm-1 for 5-FU-Ac (3B) and 3496.39 cm-1 and 1659.30 cm-1 for 5-FU-As (4B) co-crystals for N-H and -C[bond, double bond]O groups respectively. The structural differences between API and co-crystals were further confirmed through PXRD analysis. The characteristic peak of 5-FU at 2? = 28.79918o was significantly shifted in the graphs of co-crystals not only in position but also with respect to intensity and FWHM values. In addition, new peaks were also recorded in all the spectra of co-formers confirming the structural differences between API and co-formers. In addition, percent growth inhibition was also observed by all the co-crystals through MTT assay against HCT 116 colorectal cell lines in vitro. At four different concentrations; 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg/mL, slightly different trends of the effectiveness of API and co-crystals were observed. However; among all the co-crystal forms, 5-FU-thiourea co-crystals obtained through solution method (2B) proved to be the most effective growth inhibitor at all the four above mentioned concentrations.
