Aim: The oleanolic acid derivatives containing electrophilic warheads were synthesized, and their antitumor activities were investigated. Materials & methods: The cytotoxicity of compounds against tumor cells were determined by theĀ MTT method. The antitumor effects of compounds 27a, Y03 and Y04 were evaluated in vitro through a wound-healing assay, apoptosis and cell circle analysis, and cellular reactive oxide species determination. The levels of related proteins in MCF-7 cells treated with Y03 was determined through Western blot analysis. Results & conclusion: Compounds 27a, Y03 and Y04 displayed high cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells and inhibited cell migration, induced apoptosis, arrest cell circle at G0/G1 and promoted cellular reactive oxide species generation. The antitumor mechanism involved inhibition of Akt/mTOR and induction of ferroptosis.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
