[0051]

[0052] Therefore, it can be determined that the target product of the obtained yellow blocky crystals is the complex CYQ1–CYQ6, whose structural formula is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0053] To fully illustrate the application of the novel 8-hydroxyquinoline-pyridine anticancer zinc(II) complex described in this invention in pharmaceutical manufacturing, the applicant conducted in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity experiments on it.

[0054] 1. Cell lines and cell culture

[0055] This experiment used two human cell lines: drug-resistant human ovarian cancer cell line SK-OV-3 / DDP and normal HL-7702 cells.

[0056] All human cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 100 U / mL penicillin, 10 wt% fetal blood, and 100 U / mL streptomycin, and incubated at 37°C in an incubator containing 5% CO2 by volume.

[0057] 2. Preparation of the test compound

[0058] All complexes and ligands used must be ≥95% pure. Their DMSO stock solutions were diluted with physiological buffer to a final solution of 20 μmol / L (final DMSO concentration ≤1%). The inhibitory effect of each compound on the growth of normal cells or selected tumor cells at this concentration was then tested.

[0059] 3. Cell growth inhibition assay (CCK-8 assay)

[0060] (1) Take cells in the logarithmic growth phase, digest them with trypsin, and prepare a cell suspension with a concentration of 5000 cells / mL using culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Seed 190.0 μL per well in a 96-well culture plate to make the cell density to be tested 1000.0 to 10000.0 wells (fill the edge wells with sterile PBS);

[0061] (2) Incubate at 37.0℃ for 24.0h with 5.0% CO2 until the cell monolayer covers the bottom of the well. Add 10μL of a certain concentration gradient of drug to each well, and set 4 replicates for each concentration gradient.

[0062] (3) Incubate at 37.0℃ for 48.0 hours with 5.0% CO2 and observe under an inverted microscope;

[0063] (4) Add 10.0 μL of WST-8 solution (5.0 mg / mL PBS, i.e. 0.5% WST-8) to each well and continue culturing for 4 h;

[0064] (5) Terminate the culture, carefully aspirate the culture medium from the wells, add 150 μL of DMSO to each well to fully dissolve the formazan precipitate, mix with a shaker, and then measure the optical density of each well using a microplate reader at a wavelength of 570.0 nm and a reference wavelength of 450.0 nm.

[0065] (6) Simultaneously set up zeroing wells (culture medium, WST-8, DMSO) and control wells (cells, WST-8, culture medium, drug dissolution medium of the same concentration, DMSO).

[0066] (7) The number of live cells can be determined based on the measured optical density value (OD value). The larger the OD value, the stronger the cell activity.

[0067] Specifically, the CCK-8 assay kit is used for rapid and sensitive detection of cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, and its inhibition rate is calculated using the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] The inhibition rate of each compound on the growth of the selected cells was calculated, and then the IC50 of each target compound on each selected cell line was calculated using the Bliss method. 50 The values ​​are shown in Table 2 below.

[0070] Table 2. IC50 of compounds CYQ1-CYQ6 on various cell lines 50 Value (μM, 48h)

[0071]

[0072] From Table 2 IC 50 Activity screening experiments showed that the complex CYQ1-CYQ6 exhibited better anticancer activity than its corresponding ligands H-ClQL, CY1-CY6, and the metal salt Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, indicating a synergistic effect between the ligands and zinc. Furthermore, CYQ2 showed the most significant inhibitory effect on the drug-resistant ovarian cancer cell line SK-OV-3 / DDP, with an IC50 concentration of [missing value]. 50 The value was 1.45±0.09μM, which was much higher than that of CYQ1, H-ClQL, CDDP, CYQ3-CYQ6, CY1-CY6, Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, and the clinical drug cisplatin (IC50). 50 (value >50 μM) and other 8-hydroxyquinoline-pyridine zinc complexes reported in the literature (IC50). 50 Value = 2.25 ± 0.13 μM); and it has very low toxicity to normal HL-7702 cells (IC50 value = 2.25 ± 0.13 μM); 50 The concentration (>50 μM) indicates that the complex CYQ1-CYQ6 exhibits tumor selectivity against SK-OV-3 / DDP tumor cells and overcomes drug resistance in clinical use, demonstrating advantages over similar zinc complexes reported in the literature. In summary, the novel 8-hydroxyquinoline-pyridine anticancer zinc(II) complex CYQ1-CYQ6 exhibits superior antitumor activity and has potential pharmaceutical value, holding promise for the preparation of various antitumor drugs.

[0073] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent.
