In the present work, 103 novel acyclic nucleosides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer activities in vitro and in vivo. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that most target compounds inhibited the growth of colon cancer cells in vitro, of which (chloro-9H-purinyl)dodecanol I exhibited the most potent effect against the HCT-116 and SW480 cells with IC50 values of 0.89 and 1.15μM, resp. Furthermore, all of the (R)-configured acyclic nucleoside derivatives displayed more potent anticancer activity compared to their (S)-counterparts. Mechanistic studies revealed that compound I triggered apoptosis in the cancer cell lines via depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane and effectively inhibited colony formation. Importantly, I inhibited the growth of the SW480 xenograft in a mouse model with low systemic toxicity. These results indicated that acyclic nucleoside compounds are viable as potent and effective anticancer agents, and I may serve as a promising lead compound that merits further attention in future anticancer drug discovery.
As far as I know, this compound(3395-91-3)Category: benzothiophene can be applied in many ways, which is helpful for the development of experiments. Therefore many people are doing relevant researches.
