    In this work, 2'-alkoxymethyl substituted klavuzon derivatives were prepared starting from 2-methyl-1-naphthoic acid in eight steps. Anticancer potencies of the synthesized compounds were evaluated by performing MTT cell viability test over cancerous and healthy pancreatic cell lines, along with CRM1 inhibitory properties in HeLa cells by immunostaining and Topo I inhibition properties by supercoiled DNA relaxation assay. Their cytotoxic activities were also presented in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HuH-7) derived 3D spheroids. Among the tested klavuzon derivatives, isobutoxymethyl substituted klavuzon showed the highest selectivity of cytotoxic activity against pancreatic cancer cell line. They showed potent Topo I inhibition while their CRM1 inhibitory properties somehow diminished compared to 4'-alkylsubstituted klavuzons. The most cytotoxic 2'-methoxymethyl derivative inhibited the growth of the spheroids derived from HuH-7 cell lines and PI staining exhibited time and concentration dependent cell death in 3D spheroids.

    2’-Methylklavuzon Causes Lipid-Lowering Effects on A549 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells and Significant Changes on Dna Structure Evidenced by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
    (Elsevier, 2020) Ceylan, Çağatay; Çağır, Ali; Aksoy, Hatice Nurdan; Ceylan, Çağatay; Çağır, Ali; Çetinkaya, Hakkı; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Various chemical agents are used in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). 2?-methylklavuzon was proposed as a potential chemotherapeutic agent in cancer treatment based on its topoisomerase inhibition activity. In this study the cellular effects of 2?-methylklavuzon was evaluated on A549 cancer cells using FTIR spectroscopy. 2?-methylklavuzon induced significant changes on both the whole cell lyophilizates and the lipid extracts of the A549 lung cancer cells. 2?-methylklavuzon caused significant structural changes in A549 cell DNA structure: T, A and G DNA breathing modes are lost after the drug application indicating the loss of topoisomerase activity. The level of transcription and RNA synthesis was enhanced. 2?-methylklavuzon induced single stranded DNA formation evidenced by the increase in the ratio of asymmetric/symmetric phosphate stretching modes. 2?-methylklavuzon induced band shifts only in the asymmetric mode of phosphate bonds not in the symmetrical phosphate bond stretching. 2?-methylklavuzon induced A form of DNA topography. In addition to the changes in the DNA structure and transcription 2?-methylklavuzon also caused lipid-lowering effect in A549 cancer cells. 2?-methylklavuzon suppressed lipid unsaturation, however, it induced formation of lipids with ring structures. 2?-methylklavuzon suppressed phosphate-containing lipids significantly and decreased carbonyl containing lipids and cholesterol slightly. 2?-methylklavuzon caused increases in the hydrocarbon chain length. Overall, 2?-methylklavuzon can be used as a lipid-lowering compound in the treatment of NSCLC and other cancer therapies. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
