Evodiamine has many biological activities. Herein, we synthesize 23 disubstituted derivatives of N14-phenyl or the E-ring of evodiamine and conduct systematic structure-activity relationship studies. In vitro antiproliferative activity indicated that compounds F-3 and F-4 dramatically inhibited the proliferation of Huh7 (IC50 = 0.05 or 0.04 μM, respectively) and SK-Hep-1 (IC50 = 0.07 or 0.06 μM, respectively) cells. Furthermore, compounds F-3 and F-4 could double inhibit topoisomerases I and II, inhibit invasion and migration, block the cell cycle to the G2/M stage, and induce apoptosis as well. Additionally, compounds F-3 and F-4 could also inhibit the activation of HSC-T6 and reduce the secretion of collagen type I to slow down the progression of liver fibrosis. Most importantly, compound F-4 (TGI = 60.36%) inhibited tumor growth more significantly than the positive drug sorafenib. To sum up, compound F-4 has excellent potential as a strong candidate for the therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
