ABSTRACT
A new anticancer N-containing heterocyclic scaffold was designed and 30 pyridazino[1,6-b]quinazolinone derivatives were synthesized and characterized. Antiproliferation evaluation in vitro against four human cancer cell lines including SK-OV-3(ovarian cell), CNE-2(nasopharyngeal cell), MGC-803(gastric cell) and NCI-H460(lung cell) indicated that most of them exhibited potent anticancer activity and the IC50 value of the most potent compound lowered to sub-µM. DNA interaction assay indicated that compounds 4e, 4g, 6o, 6p, 8o can intercalate into DNA. Compounds 6 and 8 also demonstrated potent topoisomerase I (topo I) activity. Annexin V- FITC/propidium iodide dual staining assay and cell cycle analysis indicated that 2-(4-bromophenyl)-4-((3-(diethylamino)propyl)amino) -10H-pyridazino [1,6-b]quinazolin- 10-one (8p) could induce arrest cell cycle at G2 phase and apoptosis in MGC-803 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The in vivo antitumor efficiency of compound 8p was also evaluated on MGC-803 xenograft nude mice, and the relative tumor growth inhibition was up to 55.9% at a dose of 20 mg/kg per two days. The results suggested that pyridazino[1,6-b]-quinazolinones might serve as a promising novel scaffold for the development of new antitumor agents.
