以具有良好拓扑异构酶I (Topo I)抑制和抗肿瘤活性的茚并异喹啉酮骨架为参考, 根据电子等排替换及优势结构等药物设计理论, 以邻氨基苯甲酸衍生物及邻甲酰基苯甲酸等为原料, 合成了30个新的异吲哚并喹唑啉酮化合物, 亦即茚并异喹啉酮的N-杂化合物, 并研究了它们对人肺癌细胞NCI-H460、宫颈癌细胞HeLa和胃癌细胞MGC-803的体外生长抑制及对Topo I的抑制活性. 结果表明, 只有少数目标化合物在较高浓度时显示出一定的Topo I抑制活性, 且大多数目标化合物对受试肿瘤细胞株的细胞毒性均比较弱. 通过分子对接并与母体化合物茚并异喹啉进行比较, 发现设计合成的N-杂化合物与Topo I/DNA的结合模式跟母体化合物不同, 推测其非平面的多芳香环骨架结构可能是影响其Topo I结合模式及抑制活性, 进而显示出较弱的细胞毒活性的关键因素.

Based on the drug design theory of electronic isodisplacement and dominant structure, using the indeno isoquinoline ketone skeleton with good topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibition and anti-tumor activity as a reference, 30 new indole isoquinoline ketone compounds, namely N-heterocyclic compounds of indeno isoquinoline ketone, were synthesized using derivatives of ortho-aminobenzoic acid and ortho-formylbenzoic acid as raw materials. Their anti-proliferative activity against the NCI-H460, HeLa, and MGC-803 cancer cell lines were assessed in vitro, and their Topo I inhibitory activity was evaluated. The results showed that only a few target compounds exhibited certain Topo I inhibitory activity at high concentrations, and most of the target compounds displayed weak cytotoxicity against the tested tumor cell lines. Through molecular docking and comparison with the parent compound indenoisoquinoline, it was found that the binding mode of the aza-analogues with Topo I/DNA was different from that of the parent compound, speculating that its nonplanar backbone might be the key factor affecting its Topo I binding mode and inhibitory activity, and then resulted in their weak cytotoxic activity.
