Design, synthesis and antiproliferative activity of a novel class of indole-2-carboxylate derivatives.
European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2014 August 19
Based on the chemical structure of Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a novel class of indole-2-carboxylate derivatives was designed, synthesized and assayed for antiproliferative activity in cancer cells in vitro. The biological results showed that some derivatives exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against HepG2, A549 and MCF7 cells. Notably, the novel compounds, methyl 6-amino-4-cyclohexylmethoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (6e) and methyl 4-isopropoxy-6-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (9l) exhibited more potent antiproliferative activity than the reference drugs PQQ and etoposide in vitro, with IC50 values ranging from 3.78 ± 0.58 to 24.08 ± 1.76 μM. Further biological assay showed that both compounds 6e and 9l increased ROS generation dose-dependently, and induced PARP cleavage in A549 cells. Consequently, 6e and 9l appeared as promising anticancer lead compounds for further optimization.
