A novel series of shikonin-benzo[b]furan derivatives were designed and synthesized as tubulin polymerization inhibitors, and their biological activities were evaluated. Most compounds revealed the comparable anti-proliferation activities against the cancer cell lines to that of shikonin and simultaneously low cytotoxicity to non-cancer cells. Among them, compound 6c displayed powerful anti-cancer activity with the IC50 value of 0.18 μM against HT29 cells, which was significantly better than that of the reference drugs shikonin and CA-4. What's more, 6c could inhibit tubulin polymerization and compete with [3H] colchicine in binding to tubulin. Further biological studies depicted that 6c can induce cell apoptosis and cell mitochondria depolarize, regulate the expression of apoptosis related proteins in HT29 cells. Besides, 6c actuated the HT29 cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, and influenced the expression of the cell-cycle related protein. Moreover, 6c displayed potent inhibition on cell migration and tube formation that contributes to the antiangiogenesis. These results prompt us to consider 6c as a potential tubulin polymerization inhibitor and is worthy for further study.

Modification of the 1,4-benzodioxan ring present in RX 781094 (1) has not previously been considered.This paper describes a number of analogues of this ring system, including compounds in which one of the oxygen atoms has been replaced by a methylene group and also those in which the ring size has been changed to give, for example, furan and thiophene derivatives.The dihydroxybenzofuranylimidazoline compound 7 is the only analogue possesing presynaptic antagonist potency and selectivity comparable to that of 1.In view of this result, a number of derivatives was prepared to determine the structure-activity relationships within this series.Many derivatives, as well as the parent compound 7, were found to possess presynaptic α2-adrenoreceptor antagonist and postsynaptic α1-adrenoreceptor partial agonist properties.Two of the selective presynaptic antagonists,13 and 14, possess greater potency and selectivity than that possessed by 1.The 5-chloro derivative 25 is twice as potent as 1 after oral administration but only about half as potent when given intravenously.
