Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of anthraquinone derivatives, and particularly relates to the preparation and anti-tumor application of a 9,10-anthraquinone-(3,5-disubstituted salicylaldehyde) Schiff base dibutyltin complex. Background Art

[0002] Anthraquinone anti-tumor drugs are one of the chemotherapy drugs widely used in current clinical treatment. These drugs have a common parent nucleus structure (9,10-anthraquinone skeleton structure). Anthraquinone anti-tumor drugs interfere with the metabolic process of tumor cells and inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, thereby achieving the purpose of treating tumors. In clinical applications, anthraquinone anti-tumor drugs are widely used in the treatment of various types of tumors. In recent decades, researchers have designed and synthesized a large number of new 9,10-anthraquinone derivatives based on the 9,10-anthraquinone parent nucleus structure, and found that 9,10-anthraquinone derivatives have good inhibitory effects on the proliferation of various cancer cells. Therefore, designing and synthesizing new 9,10-anthraquinone derivatives with excellent anti-cancer activity has become an important research direction for the development of anthraquinone anti-cancer drugs.

[0003] Organotin is a unique organometallic compound formed by the direct binding of Sn atoms and C atoms. It has significant biological activity and has attracted much attention due to its cytotoxic effect and strong DNA binding ability. These compounds can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis, showing potential drug treatment value in cancer chemotherapy. The exertion of its biological activity is affected by various parameters, including the number of tin atoms, the nature of the ligand, and the coordination number, etc. In particular, the organic groups attached to the organotin atom and the ligands participating in coordination play a decisive role in the biological activity of organotin compounds. Therefore, selecting organic ligands with good biological activity to coordinate with the tin atoms in organotin has become the research focus of scientific researchers.

[0004] After investigation, the reports on the application of anti-cancer drugs involving anthraquinone derivatives or organotin compounds are as follows:

[0005] The Chinese patent "An Anthraquinone Compound, Preparation Method and Application" (Patent No. 2021108311403, Publication Date: February 3, 2023) discloses an anthraquinone compound and its preparation method, and this compound has good application prospects in the field of biological activity and can be used as a potential anti-cancer drug and a new type of topoisomerase inhibitor drug.

[0007] The Chinese patent application "2-Hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzohydrazide Dibutyltin Complex, Preparation Method and Application" (Patent Application No. 2012103923480, Publication Date: January 30, 2013) discloses a 2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzohydrazide dibutyltin complex, which has the characteristics of high anti-cancer activity, good liposolubility, low cost, and simple preparation method.

[0008] The Chinese patent "A 2-Oxo-2-phenylacetic Acid Salicylhydrazone Dibutyltin Complex, Its Preparation Method and Application" (Patent No. 2015107777398, Publication Date: December 30, 2015) discloses the preparation method of a 2-oxo-2-phenylacetic acid salicylhydrazone dibutyltin complex and its application in the preparation of anti-cancer drugs.

[0009] The literature (J. Med. Chem. 2024, 67: 4624 - 4640.) reports that a new class of anthraquinone compounds has strong cytotoxicity against various tumor cells and can insert into AT-rich DNA base pairs, thereby achieving selective cleavage of T and A bases.

[0010] The literature (Eur. J. Med. Chem. 2025, 281: 117013.) reports a new class of heteroarene-fused anthraquinone compounds with high anti-cancer activity, and the synthesized compounds interact with DNA double strands and inhibit topoisomerase.

[0011] The literature (Pharmaceuticals, 2024, 17(12): 1717.) reports a class of complexes of anthraquinone with copper or iron, which have high cytotoxic effects on tumor cells and can reduce the iron-induced lipid peroxidation rate, and are expected to be further evaluated and applied as tumor chemotherapy drugs.

[0012] The literature (Future Medicinal Chemistry, 2020, 12(2), 111 - 126.) reports that a class of rhein derivatives can induce DNA damage in human lung cancer A549 cells and enhance their radiosensitivity.

[0013] The literature (ACS Med.Chem.Lett. 2019, 10: 732 - 736) reported a new class of anthraquinone derivatives that can induce tumor cell death through paraptosis.

[0014] While modifying based on the 9,10 - anthraquinone skeleton structure, researchers are almost all keen on synthesizing small - molecule organic compounds. However, there are few reports on organic tin complexes synthesized based on the 9,10 - anthraquinone skeleton structure as ligands that can significantly improve the anti - cancer activity of anthraquinone.

In the positive control groups, 100 μL of drug solutions with different concentrations were added respectively. Three parallel replicate wells were set for each concentration. The plates were then incubated in an incubator at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for another 48 h. Then, 20 μL of MTT solution at 5 mg·L -1 was added to each well and incubated for another 4 h. The supernatant was carefully discarded, and 100 μL of DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the formazan crystals. The plates were shaken at low speed for 10 min, and the absorbance values (OD values) of each well were measured at a wavelength of 490 nm using a fully automatic microplate reader.
