Novel 7-Chloro-(4-thioalkylquinoline) Derivatives: Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity through Inducing Apoptosis and DNA/RNA Damage
A series of 78 synthetic 7-chloro-(4-thioalkylquinoline) derivatives were investigated for cytotoxic activity against eight human cancer as well as 4 non-tumor cell lines. The results showed, with some exceptions, that sulfanyl <b>5</b>-<b>40</b> and sulfinyl <b>41</...

Summary: | A series of 78 synthetic 7-chloro-(4-thioalkylquinoline) derivatives were investigated for cytotoxic activity against eight human cancer as well as 4 non-tumor cell lines. The results showed, with some exceptions, that sulfanyl <b>5</b>-<b>40</b> and sulfinyl <b>41</b>-<b>62</b> derivatives exhibited lower cytotoxicity for cancer cell lines than those of well-described sulfonyl N-oxide derivatives <b>63</b>-<b>82</b>. As for compound <b>81</b>, the most pronounced selectivity (compared against BJ and MRC-5 cells) was observed for human cancer cells from HCT116 (human colorectal cancer with wild-type p53) and HCT116p53−/− (human colorectal cancer with deleted p53), as well as leukemia cell lines (CCRF-CEM, CEM-DNR, K562, and K562-TAX), lung (A549), and osteosarcoma cells (U2OS). A good selectivity was also detected for compounds <b>73</b> and <b>74</b> for leukemic and colorectal (with and without p53 deletion) cancer cells (compared to MRC-5). At higher concentrations (5 × IC<sub>50</sub>) against the CCRF-CEM cancer cell line, we observe the accumulation of the cells in the G0/G1 cell phase, inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis, and induction of apoptosis. In addition, X-ray data for compound <b>15</b> is being reported. These results provide useful scientific data for the development of 4-thioalkylquinoline derivatives as a new class of anticancer candidates. |
