Abstract:
:New phenothiazine derivatives 6-20 have been designed, synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their ability to inhibit tubulin polymerization and antiproliferative activity against 60 cancer cell lines, including several multi-drug resistant (MDR) tumor cell lines. The phenothiazine unit may successfully replace the classical 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyle A ring of parent combretastatin A-4 or phenstatin, confirming previous studies. The most promising structural modulations have been realized on the B ring, the 2'-fluoro-4'-methoxy substitution in compound 6 and the 2'-trifluoromethyl-4'-methoxy substitution in compound 7 providing the best antitubulin and antitumor activity in the current study. Compounds 6-8 and 16 exhibited more important cell growth inhibition than parent phenstatin 2 on human colon Duke's type D, colorectal adenocarcinoma COLO 205 and on human kidney adenocarcinoma A498 cell lines. 10-Methylphenothiazine derivatives 19 and 20 did not show biological activity but exerted bright fluorescence and solvatochromism effects. These molecules deserve further chemical efforts in order to provide valuable tools for biophysical studies.
