One-pot synthesis of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-((E)-1-hydroxy-4-phenylbut-3-enyl)anthracene-9,10-diones as novel shikonin analogs and evaluation of their antiproliferative activities.

ABSTRACT: A series of shikonin analogs have been synthesized in a one-pot reaction of quinizarin with ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes in MeOH under mild conditions and investigated for their cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines and one normal cell line. The synthesized compounds were found to be cytotoxic against HeLa cells with no apparent toxicity against normal cell line. Further modification led to the discovery of a novel tetracyclic anthraquinone (4b/4b') with potent cytotoxic activities against cervical, breast and pancreatic cancer cell lines with no significant effect on the growth of the control mammary epithelial cell line MCF-10. The good cytotoxicity and selectivity of compound 4b/4b' suggest that it could be a promising lead for further optimization.

A series of shikonin analogs have been synthesized in a one-pot reaction of quinizarin with β,γ-unsaturated aldehydes in MeOH under mild conditions and investigated for their cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines and one normal cell line. The synthesized compounds were found to be cytotoxic against HeLa cells with no apparent toxicity against normal cell line.
