Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of novel α- and β-dialkoxyphosphoryl isothiocyanates

A series of 15 mostly new dialkoxyphosphoryl alkyl and aralkyl isothiocyanates were synthesized using two alternative strategies, and their in vitro antiproliferative activity against several cancer cell lines (including drug resistant) is here demonstrated. The IC50 values measured for the new compounds are within the range of 6.3–21.5 μM, and they are quite similar to the activity of two best and most extensively investigated natural benzyl isothiocyanate (A) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (B). Preliminary studies utilizing the cell cycle and reduced glutathione level analysis performed on A549 lung cancer cell line using representative compounds revealed important differences in the mechanism of action possibly correlated with their chemical properties. Hydrophobic compounds react mainly with the cytosolic glutathione reduced leading to its depletion, causing an oxidative stress and cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. On the other hand, hydrophilic compounds cause moderate cell cycle arrest and massive cell death associated with moderate reduced glutathione depletion. These suggest that significant changes in the chemical structure of isothiocyanates, which do not lead to the significant changes in antiproliferative activity, but simultaneously cause a differences in the mechanism of action are possible.
