The article conveys some information:
A set of new substituted dienes were synthesized from betulinic acid by its oxidation to 30-oxobetulinic acid followed by the Wittig reaction. Cytotoxicity of all compounds was tested in vitro in eight cancer cell lines and two noncancer fibroblasts. Almost all dienes were more cytotoxic than betulinic acid. Four compounds had IC50 below 5μmol/L; I and II were selected for studies of the mechanism of action. Cell cycle anal. revealed an increase in the number of apoptotic cells at 5 x IC50 concentration, where activation of irreversible changes leading to cell death can be expected. Both I and II led to the accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase with partial inhibition of DNA/RNA synthesis at 1 x IC50 and almost complete inhibition at 5 x IC50. Interestingly, compound II at 5 x IC50 caused the accumulation of cells in the S phase. Higher concentrations of tested drugs probably inhibit more off-targets than lower concentrations Mechanisms disrupting cellular metabolism can induce the accumulation of cells in the S phase. Both compounds I and II trigger selective apoptosis in cancer cells via intrinsic pathway, which we have demonstrated by changes in the expression of the crucial apoptosis-related protein. Pharmacol. parameters of derivative I were superior to II, therefore I was the finally selected candidate for the development of anticancer drug. In the experiment, the researchers used 4-Bromo-1-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzene(cas: 76283-09-5Name: 4-Bromo-1-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzene)
4-Bromo-1-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzene(cas: 76283-09-5) belongs to organobromine compounds.Most of the natural organobromine compounds are produced by marine organisms , and several brominated metabolites with antibacterial , antitumor , antiviral , and antifungal activity have been isolated from seaweed, sponges, corals, molluscs, and others. Moreover, several studies demonstrate that the average proportion of bromine in drugs is significantly higher than that in natural products. Name: 4-Bromo-1-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzene
