The invention relates to preparation of a novel mitochondrial-targeting
diclofenac sodium derivative and application of the novel mitochondrial-targeting
diclofenac sodium derivative in an anti-tumor aspect. The
structural formula of the compound is shown in the specification. Rat
foot swelling experiments show that the swelling inhibition effect of the compound 1a is better than that of a parent compound DCF, and the anti-inflammatory effect is not weakened under modification. Meanwhile, an in-vitro anti-tumor activity
screening result shows that the compound 1a shows more remarkable inhibitory activity on
human colon cancer (HT-29),
human brain glioma (U87) and human gastric
cancer (803) than DCF. In HT-29 cells, the cytotoxic activity of the compound 1a is the highest, and the IC50 of the compound 1a is 53.12 [mu] M, which is significantly superior to 246.20 [mu] M of DCF. In order to determine the
intracellular localization of the compound 1a, after co-incubation of the compound 1a and HT-29 cells, Mito Tracker is used for
dyeing, observation is carried out through a
confocal microscope, and the result shows that the blue
fluorescence of the compound 1a highly coincides with the
red fluorescence of the Mito Tracker, which indicates that the 1a is mainly localized in mitochondria.
Protein immunoblotting results show that the compound 1a
dose-dependently up-regulates
acetylation of SOD2 K68 and K122, and down-regulates SOD2
protein expression. Therefore, the mitochondria-targeted
diclofenac sodium derivative is expected to be developed into a novel anti-tumor
drug with anti-inflammatory activity. # imgabs0 #
