Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology. More specifically, it relates to a furanoquinoline-based dictamnus derivative, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Cancer, as one of the world's major public health issues, has always presented a core challenge in medical research. Lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma, common and deadly malignant tumors, have seen significant progress in treatment, but still face many limitations. Treatment options for lung cancer include surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Among these, targeted drugs against specific driver gene mutations (such as EGFR and ALK) and immunotherapies such as PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors have significantly improved the prognosis of some patients. Renal cell carcinoma, however, is not sensitive to traditional chemotherapy, and treatment primarily involves surgery, targeted drugs (such as VEGFR inhibitors), and immunotherapy. However, both types of cancer are prone to recurrence and drug resistance, especially for advanced or metastatic patients, where the efficacy of existing therapies remains limited. Therefore, developing novel and highly effective anticancer drugs to enrich clinical treatment options and improve patients' quality of life has become an urgent need in the field of oncology pharmacology.
[0003] Against this backdrop, natural products, due to their structural diversity and favorable biological activity, have become an important source for anticancer drug development. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that dictamnus alkaloids and their analogues, as a class of furanoquinoline alkaloids, exhibit broad anticancer potential. For example, current technology indicates that dictamnus alkaloids can inhibit the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer cells (such as A549 and H1299) and c-Met-dependent cells (such as EBC-1) by directly inhibiting c-Met receptors, thereby downregulating the PI3K / AKT / mTOR and MAPK signaling pathways. However, although dictamnus alkaloids show activity against lung adenocarcinoma cells such as A549, its activity against more aggressive lung cancer subtypes with limited treatment options, such as large cell lung cancer, remains unknown. Large cell lung cancer (represented by the NCI-H460 cell line) accounts for approximately 10% of non-small cell lung cancers, characterized by rapid progression, easy metastasis, and poor response to conventional treatment regimens, representing a clear unmet clinical need. Therefore, developing novel compounds effective against this type of refractory lung cancer subtype is of great significance. In addition, the number of chemotherapy drugs that can be successfully applied in clinical practice is relatively limited, and more anti-cancer drugs are still needed to provide more diverse and effective drug options for the treatment of malignant tumors such as lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma.

[0091] Experimental Case Anti-cancer Effect Test I. Test of anti-cancer inhibition rate in lung cancer (1) Experimental principle: MTS reagent is reduced by cell biology to a colored formazan product that can be directly dissolved in tissue culture medium. Dehydrogenases in living cells can convert MTS into a liquid colored formazan compound. The absorbance of this compound at 490 nm can be directly measured in a 96-well plate. This reaction is completed under the action of NADPH or NADH produced by dehydrogenases in living cells.
[0092] (2) Experimental Procedure: Prepare cell suspension. Select human lung cancer cells NCI-H460 and seed them into 96-well plates at an appropriate density (3000 cells per well). Set up control and treatment groups, ensuring that each group has 3 accessory wells to improve the reliability of the experiment. After incubating at 37 ℃ and 5% CO2 for 24 hours, add 20 mM of the corresponding drug to each well. Add an equal volume of DMSO solvent to the control group. Place the 96-well plate back into the incubator and incubate at 37 ℃ and 5% CO2 for 48 hours. Add 20 mL of MTS reagent and gently shake the culture plate to mix the MTS reagent with the culture medium thoroughly. Place the 96-well plate back into the incubator and incubate at 37 ℃ and 5% CO2 for 3 hours to terminate the reaction. Use a microplate reader to measure the optical density (OD) value of each well at a wavelength of 490 nm. Subtract the OD value of the blank control well from the OD value of each test well to calculate cell viability. The OD values of each parallel well were averaged for subsequent statistical analysis. The DMSO solvent group was used as a control, with 100% cell viability. The cell viability (%) and inhibition rate (%) of the drug-treated group were calculated by dividing the net OD value of the drug-treated group by the net OD value of the control group. The net OD value of the drug-treated group was calculated as: OD value of drug wells - OD value of blank wells; the net OD value of the control group was: OD value of the DMSO solvent group - OD value of blank wells.
[0093] II. Half-inhibition concentration test Cell seeding: NCI-H460 (human lung cancer cells), 786-O (human clear cell adenocarcinoma cells), and other cells in logarithmic growth phase were digested with trypsin, resuspended, and counted. 3000 cells were evenly seeded into each well of a 96-well plate, with at least 3 replicates per experimental group. The plates were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24–48 hours until the cells were fully adhered and entered logarithmic growth phase.
[0094] Drug dilution: The test compound was serially diluted with culture medium (starting from 30 µM, serial dilutions were performed to obtain 6 concentrations). The original culture medium was aspirated, and fresh culture medium containing different concentrations of drug was added. The mixture was then incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 48 hours.
[0095] MTS assay: To determine the effect of different drug concentrations on cell proliferation, the optical density (OD) value was measured at a wavelength of 490 nm using a microplate reader. Cell viability was calculated by subtracting the OD value of the blank control well from the OD value of each test well. The OD values of all parallel wells were averaged for subsequent statistical analysis. The DMSO solvent group was used as a control, set at 100% viability. The net OD value of the drug-treated group was divided by the net OD value of the control group to obtain the cell viability percentage (%). Wherein, net OD value of the drug-treated group: OD value of drug wells - OD value of blank wells; net OD value of the control group: OD value of DMSO solvent group - OD value of blank wells.
[0096] Dose-response curve plotting and IC50 50 Calculate: IC 50 (Half-inhibitory concentration) refers to the concentration of the compound required to inhibit 50% cell viability. The measured OD values were converted into relative survival rates using the method described above, and a dose-response curve was plotted in GraphPad Prism (Version 8.0) software, with the X-axis representing drug concentration and the Y-axis representing survival rate (Survival%). A mathematical model was used to fit the dose-response curve, performing nonlinear regression (curve fitting). The model was a four-parameter logistic model, which characterizes the bottom, top, slope, and midpoint (IC50) of the dose-response curve. 50 The software automatically calculates the half-inhibition concentration (IC50) based on the fitted curve. 50 value (or logIC) 50 The midpoint of the curve corresponds to the drug concentration at which cell survival rate decreased by 50% compared to the control group.
