Nafie, Mohamed S. published the artcileControl of ER-positive breast cancer by ERα expression inhibition, apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest using semisynthetic isoeugenol derivatives, Product Details of C7H6Cl2, the publication is Chemico-Biological Interactions (2022), 109753, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
New semi-synthetic effective and safe anticancer agents isoeugenol derivatives were synthesized, characterized, and screened for their cytotoxic activity against MCF-7. Moreover, their selective cytotoxicity was assessed against MCF-10A. Three derivatives, 2, 8 and 10 were significantly more active than the reference drug 5-FU with IC50 values of 6.59, 8.07 and 9.63 and 30.93 μM, resp. Also interestingly, these derivatives demonstrated some degree of selectivity to cancer cells over normal cells. Furthermore, derivative 2 was subjected to other in vitro experiments against MCF-7 where it inhibited colony formation by 87.5% and lowered ERα concentration to 395.7 pg/mL compared to 1129 pg/mL in untreated control cells. In continuation of the investigation, the apoptotic activity of compound 2, was assessed where it significantly enhanced total apoptotic cell death by 9.16-fold (18.70% compared to 1.64% for the untreated MCF-7 control cells) and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. Furthermore, the mol. mechanism of apoptotic activity was investigated at both the gene (RT-PCR) and protein (western plotting) levels where upregulation of pro-apoptotic and down regulation of anti-apoptotic genes was detected. Addnl., compound 2 treatment enhanced the antioxidant (GSH, CAT, SOD) activities. Finally, in vivo experiments verified the effective anticancer activity of compound 2 through inhibition of tumor proliferation by 47.6% compared to 22.9% for 5-FU and amelioration of the hematol., biochem., and histopathol. examinations near normal. In effect, compound 2 can be viewed as a promising semi-synthetic derivative of isoeugenol with some degree of selectivity for management of breast cancer through apoptotic induction and ERα downregulation.
