【 摘 要 】

In this study, a novel series of isoxazole-naphthalene derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activities against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to potent antiproliferative activity (IC50 < 10.0 μM), as compared to cisplatin (15.24 ± 1.27 μM). Among them, compound 5j containing 4-ethoxy substitution at phenyl ring was found to be the most active compound with IC50 value of 1.23 ± 0.16 μM. Mechanistic studies revealed that compound 5j arrested cell cycle at G2/M phase and induces apoptosis. Furthermore, in vitro tubulin polymerization assay showed that compound 5j displayed better inhibition activity on tubulin polymerization (IC50 = 3.4 μM) than colchicine (IC50 = 7.5 μM). Molecular docking study also revealed that compound 5j binds to the colchicine binding site of tubulin.
