Description: |
Several derivatives of a series that share a thienoisoquinoline scaffold have demonstrated potent anti-cancer activity against cancer cell lines A549, HeLa, HCT-116 in the submicromolar concentration range. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on a range of derivatives aided in identifying key pharmacophores in the lead compound. A series of compounds have been identified as the most promising with submicromolar IC50 values against a lung cancer cell line (A549). Microscopy studies of cancer cells treated with the lead compound revealed that it causes mitotic arrest and disrupts microtubules. Further evaluation via an in vitro microtubule polymerization assay and competition studies indicate that the lead compound binds to tubulin via the colchicine site. |
