RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acridine compounds have been described as promising anticancer agents. Previous studies showed that (E)-1'-((4-chlorobenzylidene)amino)-5'-oxo-1',5'-dihydro-10H-spiro[acridine-9,2'-pyrrole]-4'-carbonitrile (AMTAC-06), a spiro-acridine compound, has antitumor activity on Ehrlich tumor and low toxicity. Herein, we investigated its antitumor effect against human cells in vitro. METHODS: MTT assay was used to assess cytotoxicity of AMTAC-06 (3.125-200 µM) against tumor and non-tumor cells, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and the selectivity index (SI) were calculated. The effects on the cell cycle (propidium iodide-PI-staining), apoptosis (Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining by flow cytometry), and production of reactive oxygen species, ROS (DCFH assay) were also evaluated. Statistical analysis was achieved using ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-test. RESULTS: AMTAC-06 showed higher cytotoxicity against colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 cells (IC50: 12.62 µM). The SI showed that AMTAC-06 was more selective for HCT-116 cells (HaCaT SI: 1.41; PBMC SI: 0.62) than doxorubicin (HaCaT SI: 0.10; PBMC SI: 0.01). AMTAC-06 (15 and 30 µM) induced an increase in the sub-G1 peak (p < 0.000001) and cell cycle arrest in S phase (p = 0.003547). Moreover, treatment with this compound (15 and 30 µM) resulted in increased early (p < 0.000001) and late apoptotic cells (p < 0.000001). In addition, there was a reduction on ROS production (p < 0.000001). CONCLUSIONS: AMTAC-06 presents anticancer activity against HCT-116 cells by regulating the cell cycle, inducing apoptosis and an antioxidant action.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIM: Studies with acridine compounds have reported anticancer effects. Herein, we evaluated the toxicity and antitumor effect of the (E)-1'-((4-chlorobenzylidene)amino)-5'-oxo-1',5'-dihydro-10H-spiro[acridine-9,2'-pyrrole]-4'-carbonitrile (AMTAC-06), a promising anticancer spiro-acridine compound. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The toxicity of AMTAC-06 was evaluated on zebrafish and mice. Antitumor activity was assessed in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma model. Effects on angiogenesis, cytokine levels and cell cycle were also investigated. RESULTS: AMTAC-06 did not induce toxicity on zebrafish and mice (LD50 approximately 5000 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). No genotoxicity was observed on micronucleus assay. AMTAC-06 significantly reduced the total viable Ehrlich tumor cells and increased sub-G1 peak, suggesting apoptosis was triggered. Moreover, the compound significantly decreased the density of peritumoral microvessels, indicating an anti-angiogenic action, possibly dependent on the cytokine modulation (TNF-α, IL-1ß and IFN-γ). No significant toxicological effects were recorded for AMTAC-06 on tumor transplanted animals. CONCLUSION: AMTAC-06 has low toxicity and a significant antitumor activity.

RESUMO

Nine new spiroacridine derivatives were synthetized by introducing cyano-N-acylhydrazone group between the acridine and phenyl-substituted rings followed by spontaneous cyclization. The new compounds were assayed for their DNA binding properties, human topoisomerase IIα inhibition and bovine serum albumin (BSA) interaction. Besides, docking analysis were performed in order to better understanding the biomolecule-compounds interactions. All compounds interacted with BSA which was demonstrated by the fluorescence suppression constant of 104 M-1. Compounds with chloro and NO2 substituents at that para-position on phenyl ring demonstrated the best results for BSA interaction. DNA binding constant determined by UV-vis data demonstrated high values for AMTAC-11 and AMTAC-14, 1.1 × 108 M-1 and 4.8 × 106 M-1, respectively, and all others presented constant values of 105 M-1. AMTAC-06 with chloro at para-position on phenyl ring presented a topoisomerase II inhibition of 84.34% in comparison to the positive controls used. Docking studies indicated that AMTAC-06 is able to intercalate the DNA base pairs at topoisomerase IIα active site, preventing DNA connection after break, in a process known as poisoning. Topoisomerase enzyme inhibition result was correlated to BSA interaction profile, since AMTAC-06 showed the best results in both analysis. The findings obtained here proved that methoxy or chloro substitution on phenyl ring at para-position is fundamental for in vitro activity of new spiroacridine derivatives, and indicates that AMTAC-06 is a promising entity and should serve as a lead compound in the development of new DNA and protein binders, as well as human topoisomerase II inhibitors.
