AI Technical Summary
Existing clinical drugs such as cisplatin have high toxicity in cancer treatment, and there is limited research on 8-hydroxyquinoline zinc complexes, resulting in a lack of selective and highly effective anticancer drugs.
Seven 8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide copper(II) complexes were prepared by synthesizing them at 75-80℃ through specific coordination reactions. These complexes are intended for use in antitumor drugs. The specific steps include mixing active ligands, auxiliary ligands, solvents, and copper salts to form complexes with various chemical structures.
The novel 8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide copper(II) complex showed significant inhibitory effects on the drug-resistant ovarian cancer cell line SK-OV-3/DDP, with IC50 values ranging from 0.17 to 4.23 μM. In particular, NQCu7 showed an IC50 value of 0.17 ± 0.05 μM, which was much lower than that of cisplatin. It also exhibited low toxicity to normal cells, demonstrating superior antitumor activity and selectivity.

[0030] The present application will be further described below in connection with specific embodiments in the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] (1) The active ligand, auxiliary ligand, methanol, triethylamine, dichloromethane, Cu(NO3)2·3H2O or CuCl2·2H2O are mixed; the active ligand is 8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide; the auxiliary ligand is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (QD1), 1,10-phenanthroline (QD2), 2,2-bipyridine (QD3) or 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (QD4).
[0033] Specifically, first, 1.5 mL of methanol, 0.2 mL of triethylamine, 0.3 mL of dichloromethane and 1.0 mmol of active ligand are added to each of the 7 15 mL thick-walled high-temperature pressure tubes; second, 1.0 mmol of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O is added to each of 4 of the pressure tubes, and 1.0 mmol of CuCl2·2H2O is added to each of the remaining 3 pressure tubes; finally, 1.0 mmol of auxiliary ligand (QD1-QD4) is added to each of the 4 pressure tubes, and 1.0 mmol of auxiliary ligand (QD2-QD4) is added to each of the 3 pressure tubes, to obtain the corresponding mixed solutions.
[0034] Specifically, the reaction system should be methanol, if ethanol or acetonitrile or acetone or water is used instead, the reaction time needs to be increased by 3 times to complete the reaction, and the cost consumption is large.
[0035] Specifically, 0.2 mL of triethylamine must be contained in the reaction, if the amount of triethylamine is less than 0.2 mL, it is difficult for the hydroxyl group of the active ligand to be removed and react with copper; if no triethylamine is added, the system does not react after 3 days; if the amount of triethylamine added exceeds 0.2 mL, there is too much solid in the solution, which leads to low dissolution of raw materials, low yield, and too much solid precipitated, which is difficult to separate from the raw materials.
[0036] (2) The mixed solution obtained is subjected to coordination reaction at 75-80°C under sealed conditions.
[0037] Specifically, the reaction temperature of the coordination reaction is preferably 80°C. If the reaction temperature is lower than 80°C, the yield is low and the raw material is difficult to separate. If the reaction temperature is higher than 80°C, the product is easy to paste.
[0038] (3) After the reaction is completed and cooled to room temperature, the target complex NQCu1, NQCu2, NQCu3, NQCu4, NQCu5, NQCu6, NQCu7 of dark green block crystal can be obtained, and the yield is 61.2%-92.5%.

[0051] Table 1. Elemental analysis results of compounds NQCu1-NQCu7 in the examples
[0052]
[0053] Therefore, the target products NQCu1-NQCu7 of the obtained dark green block crystals can be determined, and the structural formulae thereof are as shown in Figure 1 .
[0054] In order to fully illustrate the use of the seven 8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide copper (II) complexes NQCu1-NQCu7 described in the application in pharmacy, the applicant has carried out in-vivo and in-vitro anti-tumor activity experiments.
[0055] 1. Cell strains and cell culture
[0056] In this experiment, two human cell strains, human ovarian cancer drug-resistant strain cell SK-OV-3 / DDP and normal HL-7702 cells, were selected.
[0057] All human cell strains were cultured in RPMI-1640 culture solution containing 100 U / mL penicillin, 10 wt% calf blood and 100 U / mL streptomycin, and were placed in a 37°C incubator containing 5% CO2 by volume.
[0058] 2. Preparation of the tested compounds
[0059] The purity of all the compounds used needs to be ≥95.0%, and the DMSO stock solution thereof is diluted with a physiological buffer to a final solution of 20 μmol / L (the final concentration of DMSO ≤1%), and the degree of inhibition of the growth of normal cells or selected tumor cells by each compound at this concentration is tested.
[0060] 3. Cell growth inhibition experiment
[0061] (1) Cell digestion, counting and preparation into a solution with a concentration of 8 x 104 A cell suspension of 1 x 105cells / mL was prepared, and 100 μL of the cell suspension was added to each well of a 96-well cell culture plate;
[0062] (2) The 96-well cell culture plate was placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2incubator for 24 h;
[0063] (3) The drug was diluted with complete culture medium to the desired concentration, and 100 μL of the corresponding drug-containing culture medium was added to each well, while a negative control group was set up;
[0064] (4) The 96-well cell culture plate was placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2incubator for 48 h;
[0065] (5) The 96-well plate was subjected to CCK-8 staining, λ = 450 nm, and the OD value was measured;
[0066] i) 10 μL of CCK-8 was added to each well, and incubation in the incubator was continued for 2 h;
[0067] ii) The mixture was gently mixed on a shaker for 10 min;
[0068] iii) λ = 450 nm, and the OD value of each well was read on an enzyme-labeled instrument, and the inhibition rate was calculated;
[0069] iv) The number of living cells was determined according to the measured optical density value (OD value), and the greater the OD value, the stronger the cell activity. The formula:
[0070]
[0071] The inhibition rate of each compound on the growth of the selected cells was calculated, and the IC 50 values of each tested compound on the selected cells were calculated by Bliss method. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0072] Table 2. IC 50 values (μM) of compounds NQCu1-NQCu7 on various cell lines
[0073]
[0074] From the IC 50 activity screening results, NQCu1-NQCu7 had a stronger inhibitory effect on SK-OV-3 / DDP tumor cells than the ligand H-ONQ, QD1-QD4, and metal salts Cu(NO3)2·3H2O and CuCl2·2H2O, which reflected the synergistic effect of the ligand and copper ions; in addition, NQCu7 had the best inhibitory effect on SK-OV-3 / DDP, with an IC 50The value is 0.17±0.05 μM, which is much greater than NQCu1-NQCu6, H-ONQ, Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, CuCl2·2H2O, QD1-QD4 and the clinical drug cisplatin. It is worth noting that NQCu1-NQCu7 has little toxicity (>50 μM) to normal HL-7702 cells, indicating that NQCu1-NQCu7 has good selectivity to SK-OV-3 / DDP tumor cells and can overcome the drug resistance of clinical drugs. In summary, 8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide zinc complexes NQCu1-NQCu7 exhibit superior anticancer activity, have potential pharmaceutical value, and are expected to be used in the preparation of various anticancer drugs.
[0075] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present application, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present application and the practicality of the patent.
