Cytotoxicity activity of geldanamycin derivatives against various cancer cell lines
Article | IMSEAR | ID: sea-210764
ABSTRACT
Geldanamycin (1) was isolated as a major compound from Streptomyces zerumbet W14. It was then used as a precursor tosynthesize two new geldanamycins 17-(tryptamine)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (2) and 17-(5′-methoxytryptamine)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (3). The cytotoxicity activity of these two new compounds was evaluated and comparedwith the cytotoxicity of compound 1. Cytotoxicity activity was evaluated against a normal cell line, and three cancercell lines using an 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay. Thesolubility of these compounds was also determined. The solubility of compounds 2 and 3 in water was 290.69and 348.18 µM, higher than that of compound 1 by about 1.91 and 2.29 times, respectively. Compounds 2 and 3showed moderate cytotoxic activity on Vero and human cervical carcinoma cells with IC50 values of >200.00 µg/ml. The strongest cytotoxicity of compound 3 was observed in human breast carcinoma cells (MCF-7) and humanhepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) cells with IC50 values of 82.50 and 114.35 µg/ml, respectively, while theIC50 values of compound 2 against MCF-7 and HepG2 cells were 105.62 and 124.57 µg/ml, respectively. The findingsshowed that these new geldanamycin derivatives exhibited selective cytotoxicity toward some cancer cells at a lowerconcentration. Therefore, future studies on these compounds could be useful for the management of some cancers
