[0030] Table 1 Nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum and mass spectrum data of compounds shown in formula I and formula II
[0031] Example 5 The compounds of formula I and formula II prepared in examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 and other control compounds are tested for cytotoxicity and toxicity quantification: 5.1 Preparation of positive control and compound solution The positive control niraparib 3.0 mg is weighed, dissolved with DMSO to prepare a 20 mg / mL stock solution, and stored at -20 DEG C for standby, and the target compound solution is also prepared in the same way, and before use, the test compound stock solution is diluted to the required concentration with 90% DMEM high glucose medium.
[0032] 5.2 MTT method for inhibiting cancer cell proliferation experiment Preparation of phosphate buffer solution (PBS): commercially available PBS powder is dissolved with ultrapure water, the pH value is adjusted to about 7.4, after high temperature sterilization, 0.22 μm microporous filter membrane is used for sterilization, and the obtained solution is stored at 4 DEG C for standby.
[0033] Preparation of MTT solution: 0.25 g of MTT powder was accurately weighed and dissolved in 50 mL of previously prepared and sterilized PBS solution, and magnetically stirred for 30 minutes under dark conditions until completely dissolved. The resulting solution had a concentration of 5 mg / mL. After filtration through a 0.22 μm microporous filter, it was aliquoted and stored at -20°C under dark conditions.
[0034] Logarithmic phase human cervical cancer cells Hela were trypsinized, resuspended, and adjusted to a cell concentration of 5 x 10 4 / mL, and inoculated into a 96-well plate at 100 μL / well. After 24 h of adherent growth, the culture medium was aspirated, and different concentrations of compounds (5, 10, and 20 μg / mL) were added. Three replicate wells were set up for each concentration, and PBS solvent controls of the corresponding concentrations, cell zero groups, and positive control groups were set up. The cells were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2for 48 h, then 20 μL of 5 mg / mL MTT was added, and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2for 4 h. The supernatant was aspirated, 150 μL of DMSO was added to each well, and shaken for 10 min. The OD value was detected at 490 nm on a microplate reader. The cell inhibition rate and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) were calculated.
[0035] The data are shown in Table 2, which lists the evaluation results of the effects of compounds of formulae I and II and other control compounds on the proliferation activity of Hela cells.
[0036] Table 2 Evaluation results of the effects of compounds on the proliferation activity of human cervical cancer cells (Hela)
[0037] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, in the MTT method for inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, formulae I and II exhibited outstanding anti-proliferation properties of cervical cancer cells at a dose of 20 μg / mL. Compared with the positive control, formulae I and II could significantly inhibit the proliferation of cervical cancer cells Hela, and the inhibitory effect was clear and excellent. The above results show that for the parent nucleus structure of 2- (substituted) phenyl-2H-indazole 7-carboxamide compounds, when different groups are introduced onto the tail end aminothiourea N atom, only specific groups exhibit good anti-proliferation properties of cancer cells, and the structural type of the group has no obvious regularity on the anti-proliferation activity of the entire molecule, so it can be known that the type of the group has unpredictable effects on the anti-proliferation activity of the entire molecule.
[0038] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
