A series of bivalent β-carbolines with a spacer between the 3-carboxyl oxygens was synthesized and their cytotoxic activities in vitro and antitumor efficacies in vivo were evaluated. Compound 22 exhibited potent antitumor activity against Lewis lung cancer in mice with a tumor inhibition rate of 64.2%.

A novel series of 4-(4-formamidophenylamino)-N-methylpicolinamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated against different tumor cell lines. Experiments in vitro showed that these derivatives could inhibit the proliferation of two kinds of human cancer cell lines (HepG2, HCT116) at low micromolar concentrations and the most potent analog 5q possessed broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity. Experiments in vivo demonstrated that 5q could effectively prolong the longevity of colon carcinoma-burdened mice and slow down the progression of cancer cells by suppression of angiogenesis and the induction of apoptosis and necrosis.

Abstract Two mononuclear Pt(II) compounds, [Pt(BQL1)Cl]Cl (BQL1-Pt) and [Pt(BQL2)Cl]Cl (BQL2-Pt) with [5-(benzo[4,5]furo[3,2-b]quinolin-11-yloxy)-pentyl]-bis-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-amine (BQL1) and [9-(benzo[4,5]furo[3,2-b]quinolin-11-yloxy)-nonyl]-bis-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-amine (BQL2), were prepared as new chemotypes for potential antitumor agents. This study evaluated the influence of cryptolepine derivatives in BQL1-Pt, 2,2′-dipicolylamine Pt(II) complex, and BQL2-Pt on cellular Pt(II) accumulation, cytotoxicity, and in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities against T-24 cancer cells and normal HL-7702 cells. BQL1-Pt and BQL2-Pt displayed cytotoxic activities in the micromole range (1.3±0.1 and 0.2±0.2 μM, respectively) on T-24 cancer cells; however, they did not exhibit any toxicity against HL-7702 cells. They triggered T-24 cell apoptosis through a mitochondrial dysfunction pathway. Compared to 2,2′-dipicolylamine, the neutral BQL1 and BQL2 ligands with cryptolepine derivatives increased the planarity and branched chain resulting in BQL1-Pt and BQL2-Pt with favorable antitumor activities. Further, BQL2-Pt effectively inhibited the growth of bladder T-24 tumor in vivo. BQL2-Pt can act as a potential therapeutic candidate for cancer treatment.
