Abstract
Purpose of objective: This study aims to develop novel spiro-pyrrolizidine-benzyloxy hybrids (RP1, RP2, and RP3) to reduce the dosage and mitigate the side effects of doxorubicin (DOX) while harnessing potential synergistic effects for enhanced anticancer efficacy.
Methods: Spiro-pyrrolizidine-benzyloxy hybrids (RP1, RP2, and RP3) were synthesized using isatin, L-proline, and sub-chalcone. The anticancer potential of these compounds was evaluated against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Based on superior efficacy, RP1 was selected and compounded with doxorubicin in different ratios. The anticancer efficacy of these compounded formulations was assessed through cell viability assays and IC50 values.
Results: Among the synthesized hybrids, RP1 exhibited the highest anticancer efficacy against MDA-MB-231 cells. When RP1 was combined with doxorubicin, the combination showed reduced cell viability, with the most effective ratio being 23.50 µM (20:80) (RP1: dox), followed by 11.22 µM (50:50) and 8.82 µM (80:20). The compounded formulation resulted in a lower IC50 value compared to doxorubicin alone, indicating enhanced efficacy.
Conclusions: Compounding RP1 with doxorubicin effectively enhances anticancer activity while potentially reducing the side effects associated with doxorubicin's quinone-hydroquinone moiety. The optimized formulation (80:20) presents a promising approach for improving breast cancer treatment outcomes.
