    Evaluation of Multifunctional Hybrid Analogs for Stilbenes, Chalcones and Flavanones
    (Bentham Science Publishers, 2017) Çağır, Ali; Odacı, Burcu; Varol, Mehmet; Akçok, İsmail; Okur, Özgür; Koparal, Ayşe T.
    Aims: In this study, discovery of novel anticancer agents acting by more than one mechanism was aimed. Method: For this purpose, eleven previously synthesized simple-stilbene, chalcone, flavanone derivatives and 31 novel stilbene-fused chalcones and stilbene-fused flavanones were tested for their aromatase inhibition, anti-angiogenic and anti-proliferative properties in cancer (PC3, MCF-7) and healthy (HUVEC) cell lines. MTT cell viability assay was used to evaluate the anti-proliferative activities of the compounds. CYP19/MFC high-throughput screening kit (BD Biosciences, Oxford, UK) was used to search the aromatase inhibition properties and matrigel tube formation assay was applied to determine the anti-angiogenic activities. Results: Results indicate that the simple-chalcone and flavanone derivatives were more cytotoxic than the simple-stilbenes in the both cancer cell lines. In contrast, the simple-stilbene structures were much more effective at aromatase inhibition. The cytotoxicity profiles of stilbene-fused chalcones in cancer cells imply that these molecules mostly mimic the simple chalcone structures. On the other hand, flavanones lose their cytotoxic activities after becoming fused with stilbenes. Additionally, aromatase inhibition assays showed that stilbene-fused chalcones again do mimic the simple-chalcones but not simple-stilbenes and anti-angiogenic profiles of the tested molecules seem to be not related with stilbene fragments. Furthermore, stilbene-fused flavanones may mimic both simple-flavanones and simple-stilbenes depending upon the type and position of the substituent in their respective terminal aromatic rings.

    Crm1 Inhibitory and Antiproliferative Activities of Novel 4'-alkyl Substituted Klavuzon Derivatives
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Kanbur, Tuğçe; Kara, Murat; Kutluer, Meltem; Şen, Ayhan; Delman, Murat; Alkan, Aylin; Otaş, Hasan Ozan; Akçok, İsmail; Çağır, Ali
    Klavuzons are 6-(naphthalen-1-yl) substituted 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one derivatives showing promising antiproliferative activities in variety of cancer cell lines. In this work, racemic syntheses of nine novel 4′-alkyl substituted klavuzon derivatives were completed in eight steps and anticancer properties of these compounds were evaluated. It is found that size of the substituent has dramatic effect over the potency and selectivity of the cytotoxic activity in cancerous and healthy pancreatic cell lines. The size of the substituent can also effect the CRM1 inhibitory properties of klavuzon derivatives. Strong cytotoxic activity and CRM1 inhibition can be observed only when a small substituent present at 4′-position of naphthalen-1-yl group. However, these substituents makes the molecule more cytotoxic in healthy pancreatic cells rather than cancerous pancreatic cells. Among the tested compounds 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophenanthren-9-yl substituted lactone was the most cytotoxic compound and its antiproliferative activity was also tested in 3D spheroids generated from HuH-7 cell lines.
