Topoisomerase has been found extremely high level of expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and proven to promote the proliferation and survival of HCC. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) as a kind of key reactive stromal cell that abundantly present in the microenvironment of HCC, could enhance the metastatic ability and drug resistance of HCC. Therefore, developing new drugs that address the above conundrums would be of the upmost significant in the fight against HCC. Evodiamine, as a multi-target natural product, has been found to exert various biological activities such as anti-cancer and anti-hepatic fibrosis via blocking topoisomerase, NF-κB, TGF-β/HGF, and Smad2/3. Inspired by these facts, 15 evodiamine derivatives were designed and synthesized for HCC treatment by simultaneously targeting Topo I and CAFs. Most of them displayed preferable anti-HCC activities on three HCC cell lines and low cytotoxicity on one normal hepatic cell. In particular, compound 8 showed the best inhibitory effect on HCC cell lines and a good inhibition on Topo I in vitro. Meanwhile, it also induced obvious G2/M arrest and apoptosis, and significantly decreased the migration and invasion capacity of HCC cells. In addition, compound 8 down-regulated the expression of type I collagen in the activated HSC-T6 cells, and induced the apoptosis of activated HSC-T6 cells. In vivo studies demonstrated that compound 8 markedly decreased the volume and weight of tumor (TGI = 40.53%). In vitro and in vivo studies showed that its effects were superior to those of evodiamine. This preliminary attempt may provide a promising strategy for developing anti-HCC lead compounds taking effect through simultaneous inhibition on Topo I and CAFs.
