Compound 6, a novel β-carboline comprising two 1-methyl-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acids and a biotin moiety conjugated together using tris(2-Aminoethyl)amine, was synthesized and tested for its cytotoxicity toward MCF-7 and HepG2 cell lines and antitumor potency in an S180 tumor-bearing mouse model. Compound 6 was delivered via biotin receptor-mediated endocytosis and exerted its therapeutic effects by intercalation binding with DNA. In vivo antitumor evaluations of 6 revealed that it is efficacious and exhibits low systemic toxicity.

Overexpression of histone deacetylases (HDACs) are observed in different types of cancers, but histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) have not shown significant efficacy as monotherapy against solid tumors. Recently, studies demonstrated that it is promi

The rise of the resistance of the malaria parasite to the currently approved therapy urges the discovery and development of new efficient agents. Previously we have demonstrated that harmicines, hybrid compounds composed from β-carboline alkaloid harmine

The cytotoxicity properties of the β-carboline alkaloids have been broadly investigated. However, the potential application of β-carbolines was hindered due to the moderate activity in cancer. In the present study, thirty β-carboline-(phenylsulfonyl)furoxan hybrids (11a–j, 12a–j and 13a–j) were designed and synthesized through esterification and amidation reaction strategy, and their inhibitory activities against the human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 were evaluated by CCK-8 assay. Biological evaluation presented that the most promising amide derivative 13h, substituted with p-methoxyphenyl group at position 1, generated high concentration of NO and evidently depressed the MCF-7 (IC50 = 0.89 μM) and MDA-MB-231 (IC50 = 0.62 μM) cells proliferation. Particularly, the wound healing and transwell assays demonstrated that 13h significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231cells. Furthermore, the preliminary mechanisms studies indicated that 13h induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis possibly causing by ROS accumulation and ROS-mediated DNA damage. Based on these considerations, 13h may be a promising antimetastatic agent for breast cancer, which is noteworthy for further exploration.
