Here, a series of novel aryl 1,3,4-oxadiazole/1,3,4-thiadiazole acid podophyllotoxin ester derivatives were synthesized. Among these compounds, I (R = C6H5, 4-ClC6H4CH2, 3-FC6H4CH2, etc.) exhibited excellent antiproliferation activity against MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 2.46 +/- 0.12μM). Furthermore, I caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and induced cell apoptosis. Confocal microscopy showed that I inhibited microtubule polymerization by causing cancer cell growth inhibition. Mol. docking results suggested I could bind to the active binding site of tubulin. In a mouse model, compound I suppressed malignant growth without causing significant toxicity to normal tissues. These findings support the utility of I as a novel compound for the development of anticancer agent.
