以天然产物Combretastatin A-4 (CA-4)为先导化合物,采用理性药物设计策略设计合成了一系列新型苯并咪唑衍生物。通过目标化合物对HT-29(人结肠癌细胞)的增殖抑制活性筛选,发现IV-02具有明显生物活性,并在多种肿瘤细胞上测试其抗肿瘤生物活性。实验结果显示,IV-02对A549细胞的增殖抑制IC50为0.18 µmol/L,与阳性对照秋水仙碱(IC50= 0.15 µmol/L)相当。生物活性研究表明,IV-02能够抑制微管蛋白聚合,诱导G2/M期细胞周期阻滞,并导致细胞凋亡。同时,化合物IV-02具有荧光发射效应,能够实时成像标记化合物在细胞内的动态过程。研究结果表明,IV-02是一种具荧光自标记功能的抗肿瘤化合物。

A series of novel Combretastatin A-4-based benzimidazole derivatives were designed and synthesized according to rational drug design strategies. The antiproliferation activities were preliminarily evaluated against cancer cell line HT-29, and compound IV-02 stood out from the target compounds and exhibited significant antiproliferation potency. Further evaluation on multiple cancer cell lines such as HT-1080, HepG2, A549 and A549/Taxol cells, demonstrated that compound IV-02 showed significant cell growth inhibition on A549 cells with IC50 of 0.18 µmol/L, which was comparable to that of positive control Colchicine (IC50= 0.15 µmol/L). Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that IV-02 could inhibit tubulin polymerization in a concentration-dependent manner, cause cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and induce the cell apoptosis. In addition, IV-02 exhibited fluorescence emission effect, which would be beneficial to label the intracellular dynamic changes of IV-02 in real time. The results indicated that compound IV-02 could serve as an anticancer compound with fluorescent self-labeling properties.
