Abstract:
Isopimaric chloride(compound
2) was synthesized by using isopimaric acid as raw material. Then four new isopimaric thiophene sulfonamides derivatives:isopimaric acid acyl-4-bromo-2, 5-dichlorothiophene-3-sulfonamide(
5a), isopimaric acid acyl-5-bromothiophene-2-sulfonamide(
5b), isopimaric acid acyl-5-chloro-4-nitro-sulfonamide (
5c), and isopimaric acid acyl-thiophene-2-sulfonamide(
5d) were prepared by aminolysis reaction from compound 2 and thiophere sulfonamides which were connected with
p-phenylenediamine. The structures of the compound were confirmed by FT-IR,
1H NMR,
13C NMR, and ESI-MS. In addition, the cell proliferation inhibition assay (MTT method) was used to study the
in vitro inhibitory activity of
5a-
5d on four human tumor cells. The results showed that compound
5b had inhibition rates of 91.36%, 94.06% and 92.26% against Hela, MDA-MB-231 and Hep G-2 at the concentration of 100 μmol/L, besides, the inhibition rate against PC-3 was 86.93%, which was close to 90%, indicating that compound
5b had good antitumor activity. Through the determination of IC
50 value, it was further concluded that the inhibition effect of compound
5b was better than that of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a widely used anticancer agent in clinic.
