A [3 + 2] annulation protocol for the construction of N-substituted indazolo[3,2-a]isoquinolines starting from benzynes and C,N-cyclic azomethine imines was developed. A diverse range of indazolo[3,2-a]isoquinolines can be easily accessed, which show good anti-proliferative activity on cancer cells.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women next to skin cancer. Estrogen receptors (ERs) play an important role in the progression of BC. Current anticancer agents have several drawbacks such as serious side effects and the emergence of resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. As coumarins possess minimum side effect along with multi-drug reversal activity, it has a tremendous ability to regulate a diverse range of cellular pathways that can be explored for selective anticancer activity. Objectives: Synthesis and evaluation of new coumarin analogues for anti-proliferative activity on human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 along with exploration of binding interaction of the compounds for ER-α target protein by molecular docking. Method: In this study, the anti-proliferative activity of C-3 substituted coumarins analogues (1-17) has been evaluated against estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Molecular interactions and ADME study of the compounds were analyzed by using Schrodinger software. Results: Among the synthesized analogues 12 and 13 show good antiproliferative activity with IC50 values 1and 1.3 µM respectively. Molecular docking suggests a remarkable binding pose of all the seventeen compounds. Compounds 12 and 13 were found to exhibit dock score of -4.10 kcal/mol and -4.38 kcal/mol respectively. Conclusion: Compounds 12 and 13 showed the highest activity followed by 1 and 5. ADME properties of all compounds were in the acceptable range. The active compounds can be taken for lead optimization and mechanistic interventions for their in vivo study in the future.

Abstract Background Cancer is one of the most considerable concerns because of increasing the death rate all over the world. Recent studies have disclosed that plant extracts exhibit anticancer activity through various mechanisms. Xanthium strumarium has been used by Vietnamese in herbal medicines to support the medication of infirmities. This study is to consider the secondary metabolites, antioxidant and anticancer capacities of extract from the aerial parts (stems and leaves) of X. strumarium (AP-XS). Methods AP-XS was analyzed for the presence of phytochemicals via qualitative chemical tests and determined total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) quenching assay and sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay were selected to investigate antioxidant capacity and anti-proliferative activity, respectively. Besides, acridine orange-ethidium bromide (AO-EB) dual staining was applied to evaluate the ability to induce apoptosis on HepG2 cancer cells. Results Results of present study indicated that AP-XS contains the main phytochemicals such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and triterpenes. Ethanol extract had highest content of polyphenol (84.86 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry mass), and exhibited the great total antioxidant property (IC50 = 184.13 μg/mL) and anti-proliferative activity on HepG2 cancer cells (IC50 = 81.69 μg/mL). Furthermore, the characteristics of apoptosis including shrinkage of the cell and apoptotic bodies were found following 60 h of AP-XS extract treatment through AO-EB dual staining. Conclusion The data suggest that AP-XS extract had antioxidant potential and anti-proliferative effect. The anti-proliferative property was considered to have an association with a rising of apoptosis. These results were reliable for further research on X. strumarium as a source of phytochemicals with anticancer activity potential for cancer therapeutics.
