Abstract
Four new magnolol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro anti-cancer properties. Among these, compound 3 showed the most potent cytotoxic activity against the SMMC-7721, SUN-449, and HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, with IC50 values of 3.39, 4.11, and 6.88 µM, respectively. Compound 3 also induced apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells by down-regulating Bcl-2 and Akt protein levels, up-regulating of Bax protein level, and cleaving caspase-9 and -3. In addition, transwell assays showed that compound 3 significantly suppressed the migration and invasion of SMMC-7721 cells, which was confirmed based on the down-regulation of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 (MMP-2, and MMP-9) protein levels.
