A series of novel furoxan-based NO-donating β-elemene hybrids were designed and synthesized to improve the anticancer efficacy of natural β-elemene. The bioassay results indicated that all of the target compounds exhibited significantly improved antiproliferative activities against three cancer cell lines (SGC-7901, HeLa and U87) compared to parent compound β-elemene. Interestingly, these compounds displayed excellent sensitivity to U87?cells with IC50 values ranging from 173 to 2?nM. Moreover, most compounds produced high levels of NO in?vitro, and the antitumor activity of 11a in U87?cells was markedly attenuated by an NO scavenger (hemoglobin or carboxy-PTIO). Further mechanism studies revealed that 11a caused the G2 phase arrest of the cell cycle and induced apoptosis of U87?cells by preventing the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Moreover, 11a significantly suppressed the tumor growth in H22 liver cancer xenograft mouse model with a tumor inhibitory ratio (TIR) of 64.8%, which was superior to that of β-elemene (TIR, 49.6%) at the same dose of 60?mg/kg. Together, the remarkable biological profiles of these novel NO-donating β-elemene derivatives may make them promising candidates for the intervention of human cancers.

To get chelidonine derivatives with enhanced antiproliferative activity and selectivity, a series of nitric oxide donating derivatives (10a-f and 11a-j) were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated. Compared with chelidonine, these compounds exhibited lower IC50 values against human hepatoma cells HepG2, breast cancer cells MCF-7, colon cancer cells HCT-116, as well as leukemia cells K562. Compound 11j displayed the strongest antiproliferative activity with IC50 values of 3.91, 6.90, 4.36 and 1.12 μM against the above four cells, respectively. Nevertheless, it showed an IC50 value >40 μM against human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which demonstrated high selectivity between normal and cancer blood cells. In further mechanism studies, 11j showed the capability to induce K562 cells apoptosis, S phase cell cycle arrest and mitochondrial membrane potential disorder. Besides, 11j was found to be effective in promoting the expression of proapoptotic protein Bad and suppressing the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-xL, catalase, survivin, claspin and clusterin.

Cucurbitacin B shows potent activity against tumor cells, but its high toxicity limits its application in the clinic. A series of cucurbitacin B derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) activities against the HepG-2 cell line. These compounds were also tested for their toxicity against the L-O2 normal cell line. The compound with the most potential, 10b, exhibited potent activity against the HepG-2 cell line with an IC50 value of 0.63 μM. Moreover, compound 10b showed the highest TI value (4.71), which is a 14.7-fold improvement compared to its parent compound cucurbitacin B. A preliminary molecular mechanism study of 10b indicated that 10b could inhibit P-STAT3 to induce the activation of mitochondrial apoptotic pathways. An in vivo acute toxicity study indicated that the compound 10b has preferable safety and tolerability compared with cucurbitacin B. These findings indicate that compound 10b might be considered as a lead compound for exploring effective anti-HCC drugs.

A series of novel nitric oxide-donating colchicine derivatives (9a-j) were synthesized by coupling furoxan with N-methyl colchiceinamide through an appropriate spacer arm and their cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines in vitro were evaluated by MTT method. It was found that many of the derivatives displayed significant activity, particularly, compound 9f showed more potent cytotoxic activities than colchicine.

Multidrug resistance in tumor cells poses a major obstacle to efficient chemotherapy. Several types of agents have been recognized as multidrug resistance inhibitors, among which the tetrahydroisoquinolines is the most studied. In current study 16 furoxan-based nitric oxide-releasing derivatives of tetrahydroisoquinoline were synthesized. Their cytotoxic activities and effects in reversing multidrug resistance have been evaluated. The results revealed that these compounds had moderate cytotoxic effects. Compounds 7a-f, 7h, and 7l showed higher cytotoxicities than the rest, but lower than adriamycin on K562 cell line. Compounds 7d, 7f, and 7l exhibited potent MDR reversal activities on K562/A02 cell line. The accumulation assay indicated that compounds 7d, 7f, and 7l significantly increased the intracellular accumulation of rhodamine123 in K562/A02 cells. Furthermore, these three compounds produced high concentrations of NO in K562/A02 cells. Potentially, the high concentrations of NO produced by NO donor moieties will lead to an increased cytotoxicity to K562/A02 cells. Our results suggested that compounds 7d, 7f, and 7l had anticancer effects, as well as multidrug resistance reversal effects.
