RESUMO
MSN8C, an analog of mansonone E, has been identified as a novel catalytic inhibitor of human DNA topoisomerase II that induces tumor regression and differs from VP-16(etoposide). Treatment with MSN8C showed significant antiproliferative activity against eleven human tumor cell lines in vitro. It was particularly effective against the HL-60/MX2 cell line, which is resistant to Topo II poisons. The resistance factor (RF) of MSN8C for Topo II in HL-60/MX2 versus HL-60 was 1.7, much lower than that of traditional Topo II poisons. Furthermore, in light of its potent antitumor efficacy and low toxicity, as demonstrated in the A549 tumor xenograft model, MSN8C has been identified as a promising candidate for antitumor applications.

Novel mansonone F derivative MSN54 (9-bromo-2,3-diethylbenzo[de]chromene-7,8-dione) exhibited significant cytotoxicity against twelve human tumor cell lines in vitro, with particularly strong potency against HL-60/MX2 cell line resistant to Topo II poisons. MSN54 was found to have IC50 of 0.69 and 1.43 µM against HL-60 and HL-60/MX2 cells, respectively. The resistance index is 10 times lower than that of the positive control VP-16 (etoposide). Various biological assays confirmed that MSN54 acted as a Topo IIα specific non-intercalative catalytic inhibitor. Furthermore, MSN54 exhibited good antitumor efficacy and low toxicity at a dose of 5 mg/kg in A549 tumor xenograft models. Thus, compound MSN54 is a promising candidate for the development of novel antitumor agents.

A series of mansonone F (MF) derivatives were designed and synthesized. These compounds were found to be strong inhibitors for topoisomerases, with much more significant inhibition for topoisomerase II rather than topoisomerase I. The best inhibitor showed 20 times stronger anti-topoisomerase II activity than a positive control Etoposide. The cytotoxic activity of these MF derivatives was evaluated against human cancer cell lines CNE-2 and Glc-82, which showed that these compounds were potent antitumor agents. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) study revealed that o-quinone group and pyran ring are important for their cytotoxic activity.
