ABSTRACT
Simultaneous targeting of tumor vasculature and inhibitors of tumor cell glycolysis may be a promising antitumor strategy. Here, we reported the total synthesis and biological evaluation of A-ring arylurea flavonoid derivatives with B-ring trimethoxy group, which exhibited potent antitumor activity against a variety of tumor cells in vitro. Most of the derivatives showed in vitro antitumor activity on HepG-2, HGC-27, MDA-MB-231, and A549 cells. Among them, compounds 8e, 8f, 8g, 8h, 8j, and 8l also exhibited significant anti-proliferation effects on liver tumor cell subtypes BEL-7402 and SMMC-7721. Compound 8l had the lowest IC50 value (5.61 ± 0.39 µM) on HepG-2 cells, and showed the effects of inhibiting colony formation, arresting the cell cycle in G0 /G1 phase, and inducing apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the toxicity of compound 8l on human normal cells LO2 and GES-1 was lower than that of sorafenib. The inhibitory effects of compound 8l on the expression of glycolytic rate-limiting enzymes HKII, PFK-1, PKM2 and vascular endothelial growth factor were further evaluated. Corresponding reduction in intracellular lactate was also detected after compound 8 treatment. Our results support an antitumor strategy targeting tumor vasculature and glycolysis to discover and develop a new generation of antitumor drugs.
