Azido acetylated-glucosamine Schiff base copper complexes accumulate in cancer cells and induce apoptosis in vitro:High selective cytotoxicity against HepG-2 cells
In this study, two new ligands and three copper complexes based on the azido acetylated-glucosamine Schiff base skeleton were synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR, HRMS and X-ray crystallography. The structure-activity relationship of the three complexes was comparative studied regarding their anticancer activity by in vitro cell experiments. The results of MTT assay showed that the three complexes all exhibited observably inhibitory activity against tested cancer cells. Especially for Cu-1, IC50 value was 2.54 μg/mL and the selection index of HepG-2 cells is 6.55, showing high selective cytotoxicity against HepG-2 cells. Hoechst 33342 staining, JC-1 staining and Rhodamine 123 staining showed that Cu-1 accelerated apoptosis of cancer cells through mitochondrial pathway. Furthermore, the complexes can obviously inhibit the migration, invasion and the angiogenesis. The results suggest that Cu-1 is a promising potential candidate for the treatment of liver cancer.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
