A series of five novel acridine analogues,LXL 1-5,were synthesized and their antiproliferative activity against HepC-2 cell lines were evaluated,among which the 9-benzyloxyacridine analogue,LXL-5, showed inhibitory activity against tyrosine kinases,VEGFR-2 and Src.The results of UV-visible absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra,as well as DNA topoisomerase I inhibition assay, indicated topoisomerase I inhibitory activity.Our study suggested that acridine scaffold,previously shown to have no multi-target kinase and topoisomerase inhibitory activity,might be potentially developed as a multi-target inhibitor of tyrosine kinases and topoisomerase I.展开更多

A series of new acridine-based derivatives 7a-7d were synthesized and their antiproliferative activity against K562 and HepG-2 cell lines were evaluated. Compound 7c with pyridin-2-yl-methanamino group substituted at the C9 position of acridine showed good antitumor activity against both cell lines. The DNA-binding affinity of compound 7c was evaluated by UV-vis absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra. DNA topoisomerase I mediated relaxation of plasmid pBR322 DNA was also tested. Our results suggested that compound 7c with good antitumor activity and topoisomerase I inhibition activity can be developed as a prime candidate for further chemical optimization.展开更多
