Abstract：
:Metastasis in breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality among women in many countries. This study investigated the anti-cancer role of benzoimidazoquinazoline and benzimidazotriazin; two novel compounds that were designed, synthesized, structurally elucidated, and biologically evaluated as potent anti-angiogenic agents that act through inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2). Breast cancer was induced by inoculation of Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) cells. Seventy swiss albino mice were randomly divided into 7 groups, 10 animals each: (1) normal, (2) control EAC group, (3) cisplatin treated group, (4&5) benzoimidazoquinazoline treated (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg), (6&7) benzimidazotriazin treated (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg). The expression of miR-122 was assessed in the tumor tissue by quantitative PCR, and the VEGF level was determined in serum by ELISA. VEGFR2 and cluster of differentiation (CD)34 were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Serum ALT, AST, creatinine, and urea were measured. Treatment with benzoimidazoquinazoline and benzimidazotriazin decreased tumor weight and serum levels of VEGF, and down-regulated expression of VEGFR2 and CD34 in the tumor tissue. miR-122 was upregulated, particularly in the benzimidazotriazin (10 mg/kg) group. Relative to cisplatin, the novel compounds were less toxic to kidneys. Benzoimidazoquinazoline and benzimidazotriazin are promising anti-cancer agents that act through inhibition of angiogenesis and thus provide a new strategy for advancement of chemotherapy.
