Eighteen new β-carboline-based indole-4,7-quinone derivatives (12a–i and 13a–i) were designed and synthesized, and their in vitro and in vivo antiproliferative activities were studied. Most of target compounds showed strong inhibition on three human tumor cells' proliferation. In particular, the most active compound 13g not only displayed more prominent antiproliferative activities than β-lapachone, a clinical antitumor candidate, but also exerted significant NAD(P)H: quinone-oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) inhibitory activity and NQO1-dependent cytotoxicity in HT29 cells. Furthermore, 13g dose-dependently induced high ROS levels in HT29 cells, and selectively inhibited cancer cell but not non-tumor colon cell proliferation in vitro. Importantly, 13g promoted HT29 cell apoptosis and DNA damage by regulating relative apoptotic proteins and H2AX expression. Finally, 13g displayed significant growth inhibition of HT29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma xenograft in mice without overt toxicity.

In an effort to develop anticancer agents that may overcome drug resistance, the number one reason in caner death, we have developed a series of novel hybrids of β-carboline and N-hydroxycinnamamide as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. Most of the hybrids 13a-p showed strong antiproliferative effects with low-micromolar IC50 values against four human cancer cells. The most potent compound of series 13p exhibited high HDAC1/6 inhibitory effects, and also increased the acetylation levels of histone H3, H4 and α-tubulin. Importantly, 13p demonstrated high anticancer potency against drug-sensitive HepG2 and Bel7402 cells and drug-resistant Bel7402/5FU cells. Hybrid 13p triggered significant apoptosis by regulating apoptotic relative proteins expression in these Bel7402/5FU cells. Finally, 13p induced a substantial amount of autophagic flux activity by the accretion of the expression of LC3-II and the degeneration of expression of p62 and LC3-I in Bel7402/5FU cells. Overall, 13p is a novel β-carboline/N-hydroxycinnamamide hybrid with significant anticancer potency that warrants further evaluation for the treatment of drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma.

A series of novel β-carboline-based hydroxamate derivatives 12a-k were designed and synthesized, and their biological activities in a series of in vitro assays were evaluated. Several of these β-carboline derivatives not only showed excellent HDAC1/3/6 inhibitory effects, but also displayed significant antitumor activities against five human cancer cells. The most potent compound 12f demonstrated the highest anticancer potency against cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 0.53–1.56 μM, which was considerably more potent than harmine (IC50 = 46.7–55.3 μM) and also three-to ten-fold lower than that of SAHA (IC50 = 4.48–6.26 μM). Immunoblot analysis revealed that 12f dose-dependently inhibited histone H3 and α-tubulin acetylation, confirming its HDAC inhibitory effects. Moreover, 12f significantly arrested HepG2 cells at G2/M phase through inhibiting cell cycle related protein CDK1 and cyclin B in a concentration dependent manner. Interestingly, 12f also exerted strong anti-metastasis activity by simultaneously reducing the protein level of MMP2 and MMP9 and inhibiting MAPK signaling pathway.

A synthetic strategy was developed for the preparation of β-carbolines by one-pot decarboxylation and aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acids by employing 10?mol% of iodine in presence of oxidant aqueous H2O2. The method was also successfully extended for the aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-methyl esters. The utility of the method was demonstrated in the synthesis of β-carboline alkaloids norharmane, harmane and eudistomin N.
Microwave accelerated Pictet-Spengler reactions of tryptophan with ketones directed toward the preparation of 1,1-disubstituted indole alkaloids

Using the Pictet-Spengler reactions of tryptophan with aldehydes under acidic conditions at ambient temperature, diastereoisomers of 1,3-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines could readily be furnished in short time (0.5-4 h) with good to excellent yields (50-98%). Though intrinsically slow in reaction rates, ketone reactions can be accelerated (from days to minutes) using microwaves in open vessels with high isolated yields (67-99%), making those carbolines feasible reaction intermediates for the synthesis of both natural and unnatural indole alkaloids. Preparation of two indole alkaloids, tetrahydro-β-carbolinediketopiperazines and tetrahydro-β-carbolinehydantoins, were briefly discussed. Graphical Abstract
