ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: New chalcones have been developed from the insertion of organic groups, among them sulfonamides, presenting varied biological activity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work was to determine the antitumor potential of a new synthetic sulfonamide chalcone (SSC185) against a colorectal metastatic lymph node-derived colorectal cancer cell line (SW-620). METHODS: Synthesis and characterization, including crystallography, of SSC185 were performed. SSC185 showed a selective cytotoxic effect against colorectal cancer cell lines. Therefore, the cytotoxic effect of SSC185 against SW- 620 was further investigated. We used optical and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and Western blot to determine the antitumor effects of SSC185. RESULTS: SSC185 induced cytotoxicity in SW-620 cells in a time and concentration-dependent manner. Cell cycle progression was disrupted, with increased G2/M cell number and consequent cell death, with morphological alterations associated with apoptosis and necrosis. Cell death was associated with the activation and cleavage of PARP, and with reduced expression of the pro-apoptotic Bax protein and caspase 8, depending on the SSC185 concentration tested. Expression of the necroptosis pathway proteins RIP and MLKL was also reduced. These proteins are phosphorylated during the process of necroptosis. CONCLUSION: We suggest that the mechanism involved in the cytotoxic effect of SSC185 against SW-620 in vitro may be related to the induction of cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and cell death by apoptosis or necroptosis, depending on the concentration used.

ABSTRACT

Here we discovered an unprecedented giant octahedral coordination compound bearing 16 Zn2+, 12 Na+, 8 O2-, 4 OH-, 13 H2O and 6 L4- ligands [L4- = fully deprotonated tetra(carboxymethoxy)calix[4]arene]. Its structure was elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. This compound, Zn8Na6L6⊃Zn8Na6O8(OH)4(H2O)13 (external⊃internal), has eight tetrahedral zinc ions forming the coordination vertices of an outermost cube where carboxylate groups from the sodium calixarenes are anchored. Its core consists of eight Zn2+, six Na+, eight O2-, and four OH- distributed over three layers, besides thirteen coordinated H2O molecules.

ABSTRACT

An efficient method is proposed for obtaining tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthene-11-ones and tetrahydro-[1,3]-dioxolo[4,5-b]xanthen-9-ones. The method is based on the use of p-sulfonic acid calix[n]arenes as catalysts under solvent-free conditions. The antiproliferative activity of fifty-nine xanthenones against six human cancer cells was studied. The capacity of all compounds to inhibit cancer cell growth was dependent on the histological origin of the cells. QSAR studies indicate that among compounds derived from ß-naphthol the most efficient compounds against glioma (U251) and renal (NCI-H460) cancer cells are those having higher hydrogen bonding donor ability.
