Abstract:
:The synthesis of a series of novel 4-substituted 2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo [1,2-b;4,5-b']difuran-1H-imidazolium salts is presented. The biological properties of the compounds were evaluated in vitro against a panel of human tumor cell lines. Results suggest that the 5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole or 2-methyl-benzimidazole ring, and substitution of the imidazolyl-3-position with a 2-naphthylmethyl substituent or 2-naphthylacyl substituent, were important to the cytotoxic activity. Notably, 3-(2-Naphthylmethyl)-1-((2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[1,2-b;4,5-b']difuran-4-yl)methyl)-1H-5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazol-3-ium bromide (42) was found to be the most potent derivative against five human tumor cell lines with IC50 values of 1.06-4.34μM and more selective towards SMMC-7721, A549 and SW480 cell lines. 3-(2-Naphthylacyl)-1-((2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[1,2-b;4,5-b']difuran-4-yl)methyl)-1H-2-methyl-benzimidazol-3-ium bromide (37) showed higher selectivity to SMMC-7721 and MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values 2.7-fold and 8.4-fold lower than DDP. Study regarding to the antitumor mechanism of action showed that compound 37 could induce cell cycle G1 phase arrest and apoptosis in SMMC-7721 cells.
