RESUMO

Brain tumors are stubborn cancers with poor prognosis and disappointing survival rates. Targeted cancer therapeutics with higher efficacy and lower resistance are highly demanded. An efficient one-pot synthesis of polyfunctionalized phthalazines derivatives was developed by reacting ethyl 1-aryl-5-cyano-1,6-dihydro-4-methyl-6-oxo-3-pyridazine-carboxylates with cinnamonitrile derivatives and the cycloaddition reaction of thieno[3,4-d]pyridazines with activated double or triple bond systems under controlled microwave heating with high yields. The resultant synthesized phthalazines (5a-e, 9 and 13) were tested for their in vitro anti-cancer activities by using in vitro one dose assay at National Cancer institute, USA. Only phthalazine (5b) showed broad spectrum anti-tumor activity against most tested cancer cell lines from all subpanels with mean % GI = 22.61. Interestingly, all tested compounds showed varying growth inhibitory activity against a particular cell line, CNS SNB-75 cell line, but (5b) exhibited the highest growth inhibitory activity against CNS-SNB-75 cell line with (GI% = 108.81) and (IC50 = 3.703 ± 0.2) compared to erlotinib; (IC50 = 12.5 ± 0.68). It caused Pre-G1 apoptosis and growth arrest at S phase. It also increased percentage of the total apoptotic cells in CNS-SNB-75 cell line (39.26%) compared to control cells (2.17%) in the annexin V-FITC experiment. It revealed pronounced EGFR inhibitory activity (IC50 = 47.27 ± 2.41 ng/mL) compared to erlotinib (IC50 = 30.7 ± 1.56 ng/mL). It also inhibited the different PI3K isoforms α, ß, γ and δ (with IC50 of 4.39, 13.6, 12.5 and 3.11 µg/mL, respectively compared to LY294002 (with IC50 of 12.7, 8.57, 6.89 and 5.7 µg/mL, respectively). It also caused significant lower protein expression levels of pPI3K, AKT, pAKT and Bcl2 and higher protein expression levels of BAX, Casp3 and Casp9 when compared to untreated cells. Conclusion: Phthalazine (5b) may be an effective, convenient and safe anti-cancer agent acting via proapoptotic and dual EGFR and PI3K kinase inhibitory actions in CNS SNB-75 cell line.

RESUMO

There is an urging continuous need for novel anti-cancer agents due to persistent chemoresistance. Herein, newly synthesized cinnolines are evaluated for their possible anticancer activities and suggested mechanisms. In the current study, a simple and efficient synthesis of densely functionalized cinnolines has been developed that relied on multi-component reaction of ethyl 5-cyano-4-methyl-1-aryl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylates with aromatic aldehydes and nitromethane in dioxane/pipridine under controlled microwave heating. Selected cinnolines (4a-c, e, h, j-n, q-v) were tested for possible anticancer activity using in vitro one dose assay at National Cancer institute, USA. Only cinnoline 4b stood out as the most potent cinnoline derivative (mean GI%=26.33) with broad-spectrum antitumor activity against the most tested cancer cell lines from all subpanels. The target cinnoline 4b emerged as the most active derivative against both leukemia RPMI-8226 and melanoma LOX IMVI cell lines (GI% = 106.06 and 82.1) respectively, with IC50 values equal to 17.12 ± 1.31 and 12.32 ± 0.75 µg/mL, which are comparable to those of staurosporin; 24.97 ± 1.47 and 8.45 ± 0.42 µg/mL, respectively. Cinnoline 4b influenced cell cycle distribution causing pre-G1 apoptosis and cell growth arrest at G2/M phase. It also induced apoptosis in both cell lines as manifested by significant increase in the percent of annexin V-FITC positive apoptotic cells in leukemia RPMI-8226 cells (from 1.09% to 12.47%) and melanoma LOX IMVI (from 1.32% to 19.05%). In addition, it showed lower expression levels of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, and higher expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins; Bax, p53, cytochrome c, caspases 3 and 9. CONCLUSION: Induction of mitochondrial intrinsic pathway of apoptosis is a possible mechanism by which cinnoline 4b may confer its anticancer activity.
