Article Abstract
The first total synthesis of natural phenylpropanoid sucrose esters (PSEs) helonioside A 1, 3',4',6'-tri-O-feruloylsucrose 2 and lapathoside C 3 along with 17 unnatural PSE analogs has been successfully accomplished in a short and simple synthetic route. A selected set of 17 synthesized PSEs were evaluated for the antiproliferative activity against human cervical epithelioid carcinoma (HeLa) cell lines using MTS assay method. Eleven (11) compounds showed significant antiproliferative activity with their IC(50)values ranging from 0.16 to 6.01 μM. The structure-activity-relationship studies revealed that the antiproliferative activity is influenced by the lipophilicity and number of feruloyl substituents on these compounds. The preliminary screening indicated that these compounds are potentially very valuable source for new lead chemotherapeutics.

Through applying the hybridization technique, new coumarin derivatives (2-17) were prepared with substitution at coumarin C-3 utilizing various heterocyclic derivatives, aiming to afford multi-target carbonic anhydrases (CAs) IX/XII and topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors with potent antiproliferative activity. Eight different cell lines were used to evaluate the growth inhibition percentages (GI%) of cancer cells determined by coumarin analogues 1-17. Analogues 16 and 17 had the most substantial cytotoxic effects, achieving mean GI% of 86.

A series of novel matrine derivatives incorporating thiosemicarbazide moieties was designed and synthesized. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated against four human cancer cell lines: MCF-7, HepG2, SGC-7901, and A549. Results demonstrated that their cytotoxic activity was significantly higher than that of matrine.

Aurora kinases are a group of serine/threonine kinases essential for cell mitosis, comprising Aurora A, B, and C. However, the Aurora B is overexpressed in multiple tumors and the aurone has been proved to exhibit potent inhibitory activity against Aurora B kinase by our group. The indolinone was considered as an aurone scaffold hopping analog, and the indolinone-based Aurora B inhibitor library (3577 molecules) was constructed by FBDD strategy.

Objectives: To investigate the antitumor effects of aucubin (AC) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and uncover its plausible mechanism against lung cancer stem-like cells (LCSCs).
Methods: In vitro experiments included MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, a reagent commonly used for cell viability assay) and colony formation assays to assess anti-proliferative effects on A549 and NCI-H1975 lung cancer cell lines, wound healing and Transwell invasion assays to evaluate inhibition of cell migration and invasion, tumorsphere-formation experiments to detect changes in NSCLC cell stemness, as well as Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses to measure the expression of LCSC markers (CD44, CD133, Oct4, and Nanog). In vivo experiments were conducted to observe the impact of AC on NSCLC metastasis and mouse survival rates.
