Naphthalene substituents enhance mutagenicity of N-acyloxy-N-alkoxyamides towards S. typhimurium TA100 to the extent of 4 log P, most likely through intercalative binding to DNA.

Background: Considering the need for the development of new antitumor drugs, associated with the great antitumor potential of thiophene and thiosemicarbazonic derivatives, in this work we promote molecular hybridization approach to synthesize new compounds with increased anticancer activity. Objective: Investigate the antitumor activity and their likely mechanisms of action of a series of N-substituted 2-(5-nitro-thiophene)-thiosemicarbazone derivatives. Methods: Methods were performed in vitro (cytotoxicity, cell cycle progression, morphological analysis, mitochondrial membrane potential evaluation and topoisomerase assay), spectroscopic (DNA interaction studies), and in silico studies (docking and molecular modelling). Results: Most of the compounds presented significant inhibitory activity; the NCIH-292 cell line was the most resistant, and the HL-60 cell line was the most sensitive. The most promising compound was LNN-05 with IC50 values ranging from 0.5 to 1.9 µg.mL-1. The in vitro studies revealed that LNN-05 was able to depolarize (dose-dependently) the mitochondrial membrane, induceG1 phase cell cycle arrest noticeably, promote morphological cell changes associated with apoptosis in chronic human myelocytic leukaemia (K-562) cells, and presented no topoisomerase II inhibition. Spectroscopic UV-vis and molecular fluorescence studies showed that LNN compounds interact with ctDNA forming supramolecular complexes. Intercalation between nitrogenous bases was revealed through KI quenching and competitive ethidium bromide assays. Docking and Molecular Dynamics suggested that 5-nitro-thiophene-thiosemicarbazone compounds interact against the larger DNA groove, and corroborating the spectroscopic results, may assume an intercalating interaction mode. Conclusion: Our findings highlight 5-nitro-thiophene-thiosemicarbazone derivatives, especially LNN-05, as a promising new class of compounds for further studies to provide new anticancer therapies.

Background: Despite the dynamic development of medicine, globally cancer diseases remain the second leading cause of death. Therefore, there is a strong necessity to improve chemotherapy regimens and search for new anticancer agents. Pyridocarbazoles are compounds with confirmed antitumor properties based on multimodal mechanisms, i.a. DNA intercalation and topoisomerase II-DNA complex inhibition. One of them, S16020, displayed a wide spectrum of activity. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the antitumor potency of six S16020 derivatives, synthesized according to the SAR (structure-activity relationship) method. Methods: The biological evaluation included influence on cancer cell viability, proliferation, and migration, as well as P-glycoprotein activity. NHDF, A549, MCF-7, LoVo, and LoVo/DX cell lines were used in the study. Results: All derivatives displayed low toxicity to normal (NHDF) cells at 1 and 2 µM (≤ 20% of cell growth inhibition). The highest reduction in cell viability was noted in A549 cells which was accompanied by significant disruption of cells proliferation and motility. Compound 1 exhibited the strongest cytotoxic, antiproliferative, and antimigratory effects, higher than the reference olivacine. A significant reduction in P-glycoprotein activity was found for derivatives 6 and 1. Conclusion: S16020 derivatives could be considered as potential candidates for new anticancer drugs.
