Anti Cancer

Autophagy inhibition has been proposed to be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer, however, few autophagy inhibitors have been developed. Recent studies have indicated that lysosome and autophagy related 4B cysteine peptidase (ATG4B) are two promising targets in autophagy for cancer therapy. Although some inhibitors of either lysosome or ATG4B were reported, there are limitations in the use of these single target compounds. Considering multi-functional drugs have advantages, such as high efficacy and low toxicity, we first screened and validated a batch of compounds designed and synthesized in our laboratory by combining the screening method of ATG4B inhibitors and the identification method of lysosome inhibitors. ATG4B activity was effectively inhibited in vitro. Moreover, 163N inhibited autophagic flux and caused the accumulation of autolysosomes. Further studies demonstrated that 163N could not affect the autophagosome-lysosome fusion but could cause lysosome dysfunction. In addition, 163N diminished tumor cell viability and impaired the development of colorectal cancer in vivo. The current study findings indicate that the dual effect inhibitor 163N offers an attractive new anti-cancer drug and compounds having a combination of lysosome inhibition and ATG4B inhibition are a promising therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer therapy.

Cancer Activity

Hepatocarcinogenesis is a multistep process involving different genetic alterations that ultimately lead to malignant transformation of the hepatocytes. Modern treatment of cancer includes chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiotherapy and surgery but they are associated with several adverse effects such as alopecia, fatigue and general weakening of the body’s immune system due to bone marrow suppression. However, there is a continual need to look out for newer drugs to overcome the menace of cancer. In view of this we synthesized the new Coumarin-Cobalt complex derivatives. Structures of all the newly synthesized metal complexes are supported by Spectral data such as IR, NMR, and mass spectrometry. Coumarin-Cobalt complex of vanillin exhibited significant anti-cancer activity by in vivo anticancer activity (BrdU estimation). Immunohistochemical analysis has been done by BrdU and the synthesized compounds were screened for anti-oxidant activity and in vitro HepG2 cell lines. The IC50 values of the HepG2 cell lines as compared with that of standard Cisplatin and compounds IIIb, IIId, IIIe, IIIh and IIIj showed appreciable activity at a concentration less than 10 μG. Coumarin-Cobalt complex of vanillin exhibited significant anti-cancer activity. Anti-oxidant activity performed by Nitric oxide reducing ability, Superoxide dismutase and reducing activity:Compounds IIIc, IIIe and IIIg showed appreciable activity at 400μg/mL and 800 μg/mL screened by nitric oxide reducing ability, superoxide anion was effectively scavenged by compound IIIg at 400μg/mL and 800 μg/mL and reducing power of compounds IIIc and IIIj is comparable with standard ascorbic acid at concentrations 400μg/mL and 800 μg/mL.
