Design, synthesis, anti-lung cancer activity, and chemosensitization of tumor-selective MCACs based on ROS-mediated JNK pathway activation and NF-κB pathway inhibition

EF24 and F35 both were effective monocarbonyl curcumin analogues (MCACs) with excellent anti-tumor activity, however, drug defect such as toxicity may limit their further development. To get anti-lung cancer drugs with high efficiency, low toxicity and chemosensitization, a series of analogues based on EF24 and F35 were designed and synthesized. A number of compounds were found to exhibit cytotoxic activities selectively towards lung cancer cells compared to normal cells. Among these compounds, 5B was considered as an optimal anti-tumor agent for lung cancer cells with IC50 values ranging from 1.0 to 1.7 μM, selectivity index (SI, as a logarithm of a ratio of IC50 value for normal and cancer cells) were all above 1.1, while the SI of EF24 and F35 were less than 0.8. Consistent with selectivity in vitro, 5B was observed to show lower toxicity in acute toxicity experiment than EF24 and F35 respectively. Further, 5B was found to exert anti-tumor effects through ROS-mediated activation of JNK pathway and inhibition of NF-κB pathway. 5B could significantly enhance the sensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin or 5-Fu. These findings suggested that 5B was an effective and less toxic MCAC and provided a promising candidate for anti-tumor drugs.

Discovery and evaluation of piperid-4-one-containing mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin as anti-inflammatory agents

We previously reported the design and discovery of three series of 5-carbon linker-containing mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin (MCACs) as excellent anti-inflammatory agents. In continuation of our ongoing research, we designed and synthesized the fourth
