Three novel series of triazolophthalazine derivatives bearing hydrazone moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines by MTT assay. Six derivatives demonstrated comparable activity with Doxorubicin reference drug against the selected cancer cells. Especially, compound 16 showed the most potent activity with IC50 values of 5.70, 8.04, 11.15, and 4.25, μM against HePG2, MCF-7, PC3, and HCT-116 respectively. Also, compound 26 exhibited comparable inhibitory effect with that of Doxorubicin against the selected cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 6.45, 8.63, 12.28, and 7.03 μM against HePG2, MCF-7, PC3, and HCT-116 respectively. Investigation of the apoptotic activity of the two most active compounds revealed that compounds 16 and 26 could induce both the early and the late apoptosis of HePG2. Further mechanistic study of the HePG2 cell cycle confirmed the spectacular cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of both compounds. Compounds 16 and 26 showed a pronounced increase in cells in G2/M and Pre G1 phases with a concomitant reduction of cells in G0-G1 and S phases. A follow up enzymatic assay indicated that these two compounds have comparable activities with that of bromosporine as PCAF inhibitors with IC50 values of 8.13 and 5.31 μM respectively. Moreover, molecular docking study for all the synthesized compounds was performed to predict their binding affinities toward the active site of histone acetyltransferase GCN5. Results of molecular docking were strongly correlated with that of the cytotoxicity study.

The antitumor activity of newly synthesised triazolophthalazines (L-45 analogues) 10–32 was evaluated in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HePG-2), breast cancer (MCF-7), prostate cancer (PC3), and colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116) cells. Compounds 17, 18, 25, and 32 showed potent antitumor activity (IC50, 2.83–13.97 μM), similar to doxorubicin (IC50, 4.17–8.87 μM) and afatinib (IC50, 5.4–11.4 μM). HePG2 was inhibited by compounds 10, 17, 18, 25, 26, and 32 (IC50, 3.06–10.5 μM), similar to doxorubicin (IC50, 4.50 μM) and afatinib (IC50, 5.4 μM). HCT-116 and MCF-7 were susceptible to compounds 10, 17, 18, 25, and 32 (IC50, 2.83–10.36 and 5.69–11.36 μM, respectively), similar to doxorubicin and afatinib (IC50 = 5.23 and 4.17, and 11.4 and 7.1 μM, respectively). Compounds 17, 25, and 32 exerted potent activities against PC3 (IC50, 7.56–12.28 μM) compared with doxorubicin (IC50, 8.87 μM) and afatinib (IC50 7.7 μM). Compounds 17 and 32 were the strongest PCAF inhibitors (IC50, 5.31 and 10.30 μM, respectively) and compounds 18 and 25 exhibited modest IC50 values (17.09 and 32.96 μM, respectively) compared with bromosporine (IC50, 5.00 μM). Compound 17 was cytotoxic to HePG2 cells (IC50, 3.06 μM), inducing apoptosis in the pre-G phase and arresting the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. Molecular docking for the most active PCAF inhibitors (17 and 32) was performed.

Some 6-(alkylamino)-3-aryl-1,2,4-triazolophthalazines have been shown to displace diazepam from rat brain specific binding sites, in vitro, with Ki (nM) values comparable to those of reference benzodiazepines and to have anticonvulsant (
