Synthesis, antiproliferative activity, and mechanism of action of new benzamido derivatives
2011
The cinnamoyl anthranilamides represent a class of biological active substances of great importance in medicinal chemistry. Moreover, despite their wide range of biological activities, a review of the literature revealed that no anticancer activity is described for this kind of substances. Starting from the 2-cinnamamido-5-iodobenzamide, resulted able to inhibit the leukemic cell line K-562 proliferation with a percent of inhibition of 74% at 10M concentration, we undertake the following structural modifications on cinnamamidobenzamide skeleton: the introduction of various substituents both on the benzamido and the cinnamamido moieties, the substitution of olefinic bond with the ethane, et…
Synthesized benzamido derivatives exert antiproliferative effects by DNA damage and ROS generation.
2016
In this study we explored the effect and the biological action of synthesized benzamido derivatives bearing the (1S,2S)-2-phenyl-cyclopropane-1-carboxamido, 1,1'-biphen-2-carboxamido and 1,1'-biphen-4-carboxamido moieties on K562, a human leukemia cell line. Among the synthesized compounds a particular antiproliferative action was observed with the benzamido derivative bearing the 2-1,1'-biphenyl moiety with the substitution at the 5 position of the benzamido moiety with iodine. This compound showed cytotoxic effects in K562 leukemic cells at nanomolar concentrations and was, therefore, chosen as compound to explore its mode of action. Our analyses provided evidence that this benzamido deri…
