Lung cancer is the worldwide leading cause of cancer-related death. Here, we described the synthesis and the anticancer activity of a novel coptisine derivative 8-cetylcoptisine (CCOP) on lung carcinoma in vitro and in vivo. CCOP inhibited the cell viability of A549, BGC-823, MDA-MB-231, HCT-116 and HepG2 cell lines. In A549 cells, CCOP induced apoptosis, G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot analysis showed that CCOP increased the expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), cleaved caspase 3 and 9, while decreased B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), cyclins D and E, cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) 2, 4 and 6, along with the inactivation of the upstream phosphoinositide 3-kinase (Pi3k)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling. Further in vivo studies showed that CCOP (10 mg/kg) significantly delayed tumor growth in A549 xenograft nude mice, which is stronger than that of coptisine (100 mg/kg). These data suggested that CCOP could be a candidate for lung cancer therapy.

A simple protocol for performing chromium-catalyzed highly diastereoselective alkylations of arylmagnesium halides with cyclohexyl iodides at ambient temperature has been developed. Furthermore, this ligand-free CrCl2 enables efficient electrophilic alkenylations of primary, secondary, and tetiary alkylmagnesium halides with readily available alkenyl acetates. Moreover, this chemoselective C-C coupling reaction with stereodefined alkenyl acetates proceeds in a stereoretentive fashion. A wide range of functional groups on alkyl iodides and alkenyl acetates are well tolerated, thus furnishing functionalized Csp2-Csp3 coupling products in good yields and high diastereoselectivity. Detailed mechanistic studies suggest that the in situ generated low-valent chromium(I) species might be the active catalyst for these Csp2-Csp3 cross-couplings.
