Human deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) topoisomerase Ⅱα (Topo Ⅱα) is one of the important therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancers. To further discover Topo Ⅱα inhibitors with high efficiency and low toxicity, twenty-one 3-aryl-7-hydroxyquinolines were designed and synthesized by scaffold hopping of the lead compound 4-(6-hydroxynaph-thalen-2-yl)benzene-1, 2-diol (CS1). These compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against Topo Ⅱα activity in DNA relaxation assays, and evaluated for the antitumor activity in in vitro growth inhibition assays against human triple negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and human cervical cancer HeLa cells. DNA relaxation assays showed that most compounds have inhibitory activity against Topo Ⅱα. In vitro growth inhibition assays showed that 3-(2, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-7-hydroxyquinoline (4j) has obvious cytotoxicity against HeLa cells (IC50=0.8 μmol·L-1), and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxyquinoline (4e) has evident cytotoxicity against both MDA-MB-231 (IC50=1.1 μmol·L-1) and HeLa cell lines (IC50=4.2 μmol·L-1). These results provide insight into the development of novel quinoline topoisomerase Ⅱα inhibitors.
