Abstract:
:A novel family of betulinic acid analogues, carrying a triazole unit at C-3 attached through a linker, was synthesized by the application of azide-alkyne "Click reaction". These were screened for their anticancer activity against different cancer cells and normal human PBMC by MTT assay. Compound 2c [(3S)-3-{2-(4-(hydroxymethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetyloxy}-lup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid] was found as the most potent inhibitor of cell line HT-29 with IC50 value 14.9 μM. Its role as an inducer of apoptosis was investigated in this cell line by Annexin-V/PI binding assay and by following its capability for ROS generation, depolarization of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, activation of caspases, PARP cleavage, nuclear degradation and expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins. It exhibited much higher cytotoxicity than the standard drug 5-fluorouracil but showed negligible cytotoxicity towards normal PBMC. Elevated level of ROS generation, activation of caspase 3 and caspase 9, DNA fragmentation, higher expression of Bax and Bad, lower expression of Bcl2 and Bcl-xl, and increased level of Bax/Bcl-xl ratio identified 2c as a promising inducer of apoptosis that follows a mitochondria dependent pathway. Bio-physical studies indicate that compound 2c acts as a minor groove binder to the DNA.
