Abstract:
:A series of substituted xanthenes was synthesized and screened for activity using DU-145, MCF-7, and HeLa cancer cell growth inhibition assays. The most potent compound, 9 g ([N,N-diethyl]-9-hydroxy-9-(3-methoxyphenyl)-9H-xanthene-3-carboxamide), was found to inhibit cancer cell growth with IC(50) values ranging from 36 to 50 microM across all three cancer cell lines. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) data is presented that indicates additional gains in potency may be realized through further derivatization of the compounds (e.g., the incorporation of a 7-fluoro substituent to 9 g). Results are also presented that suggest the compounds function through a unique mechanism of action as compared to that of related acridine and xanthone anticancer agents (which have been shown to intercalate into DNA and inhibit topoisomerase II activity). A structural comparison of these compounds suggests the differences in function may be due to the structure of the xanthene heterocycle which adopts a nonplanar conformation about the pyran ring.
