For the development of novel anticancer agents, we designed and synthesized a total of 37 perimidine o-quinone derivatives containing the o-quinone group at the A or B ring and different substituents (alkyl groups, aryl groups or heterocycles) at the C ring of the compounds. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) were established based on the cytotoxicity data of compounds from the HL-60, Huh7, Hct116, and Hela cell lines. The cytotoxicity results showed that most compounds exhibited potent cytotoxicity. In particular, compound b-12 showed the best anti-proliferative activity (IC50 ≤ 1 μM) against four cancer cell lines and strong potency against the HL-60/MX2 (0.47 μM) cell line, which is resistant to Topo II poisons. Further studies showed that b-12 exhibited potent Topo IIα inhibitory activity (IC50 = 7.54 μM) compared with Topo I, which acted as a class of non-intercalative Topo IIα catalytic inhibitor by inhibiting the ATP binding site of Topo II. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle assays confirmed that b-12 could induce the apoptosis of Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
