ABSTRACT
Based on the inhibitory effect of CA-4 analogues and indoles on tubulin polymerization, we designed and synthesized a series of N-((1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl or triazolyl)-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acetamides. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against HeLa, MCF-7 and HT-29 cancer cell lines, and some of the target compounds demonstrated effective activities towards the three tumour cell lines. Among them, compound 7d exhibited the most potent activities against HeLa (IC50 = 0.52 µM), MCF-7 (IC50 = 0.34 µM) and HT-29 (IC50 = 0.86 µM). Mechanistic studies revealed that compound 7d induced cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, arrested the cells in the G2/M phase and inhibited polymerization of tubulin via a consistent way with colchicine. Therefore, 7d is a potential agent for the further development of tubulin polymerization inhibitors.
