A series of FTS/salicylic acid hybrids was designed and synthesized and their in vitro antitumor activities were evaluated. It was found that the anti-proliferation activities of hybrids were better than that of FTS. Compound 10a displayed the strongest antitumor activities with IC50 values of 5.72-9.76 μmol/L and selectively inhibited tumor cell proliferation. In addition, 10a induced tumor cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner by up-regulating the expression of Bax and caspase-3 and down-regulating Bcl-2. Our findings suggest that these novel hybrids may hold a great promise as therapeutic agents for the intervention of human cancers.

A series of tripodal ferrocenyl bis-naphthalimide derivatives were synthesized and characterized. All of the bis-naphthalimide derivatives exhibited good DNA binding ability which was confirmed by ethidium bromide (EB) displacement experiment and ultraviolet (UV)-visible absorption titration. And the binding mode of these compounds was proved to be a hybrid binding mode by experiments. The cytotoxicity of synthesized compounds against 4 different human cancer cell lines (EC109, BGC823, SGC7901 and HEPG2) was evaluated by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. All of the bis-naphthalimide derivatives exhibited good anticancer activity than the positive control drug (amonafide), which was due to the promotion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in test cancer cells by the reversible one-electron redox process of ferrocenyl bis-naphthalimide derivatives. Although there was no obvious relationship between the binding constants and the chain length, the structure cytotoxicity relationship revealed that the linker of n = 3, m = 1 was the best choice for the tested tripodol bis-naphthalimide derivatives. Synopsis: A series of tripodal ferrocenyl bis-naphthalimide derivatives were synthesized to study the DNA binding ability and the cytotoxicity induced by reactive oxygen species. All of the compounds exhibited good DNA binding ability. And the structure cytotoxicity relationship revealed that the structure of 5h was the best choice.

The human tyrosinase is the most prominent therapeutic target for pigmentary skin disorders. However, the overwhelming majority efforts have been devoted to search mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors, which show poor inhibitory activity on human tyrosinase and certain side effects that cause skin damage in practical application. Herein, a series of degraders that directly targeted human tyrosinase was firstly designed and synthesized based on newly developed PROTAC technology. The best PROTAC TD9 induced human tyrosinase degradation obviously in dose and time-dependent manner, and its mechanism of inducing tyrosinase degradation has also been clearly demonstrated. Besides, encouraging results that low-toxicity PROTAC TD9 was applied to reduce zebrafish melanin synthesis have been obtained, highlighting the potential to treatment of tyrosinase-related disorders. Moreover, this work has innovatively expanded the application scope of PROTAC technology and laid a solid foundation for further development of novel drugs treating pigmentary skin disorders.
