    Objective: Isoindoline and epoxycyclohexane derivatives are known to exert beneficial effects on various inflammatory pathologies, including cancer. This study uniquely evaluates the cytotoxic potential of four synthesized isoindoline derivatives against five different cancer cell lines. Methods: Cancer cell lines were treated with varying concentrations of each derivative and incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h. Cytotoxicity was assessed via cell growth inhibition assays and cell membrane damage tests. Additionally, molecular docking studies were conducted to examine the interaction of the compounds with key cancer-related proteins: human tankyrase 1, c-MET, estrogen receptor alpha, androgen receptor, and EGFR. Results and Discussion: The epoxy alcohol derivatives demonstrated a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect, inhibited cell proliferation, and induced membrane damage in adenocarcinoma cell lines. Apoptosis rates and in vitro wound healing assays further supported their antiproliferative potential. Conclusions: These findings suggest that epoxy isoindole derivatives may serve as promising anticancer agents for the treatment of cervical, lung, prostate, and breast cancers due to their cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities. Molecular docking results corroborated their potential mechanism of action.

    Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Chloro/Acetoxy Substituted Isoindole Analogues as New Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
    (Academic Press, 2020) Köse, Aytekin; Kaya, Meltem; HorasanKishalı, Nurhan; Akdemir, Atilla; Şahin, Ertan; Kara, Yunus; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah
    We have developed a versatile synthetic approach for the synthesis of new isoindole derivatives via the cleavage of ethers from tricyclic imide skeleton compounds. An exo-cycloadduct prepared from the Diels-Alder reaction of furan and maleic anhydride furnished imide derivatives. The epoxide ring was opened with Ac2O or Ac2O/AcCl in the presence of a catalytic amount of H2SO4 in order to yield new isoindole derivatives 8a-d and 9a-d. The anticancer activity of these compounds was evaluated against the HeLa cell lines. The synthesized compounds showed inhibitory effects on the viability of HeLa cells and the degree of cytotoxicity was increased with the level of bigger branched isoindole derivatives. To better understand the acting mechanism of these molecules, western blot analysis was performed with using mTOR and its downstream substrates. In addition, human mTOR and ribozomal S6 kinase beta 1 (RS6K beta 1) have been investigated with molecular modelling studies as possible targets for compound series 8 and 9.

    Synthesis and Anticancer Activity Evaluation of New Isoindole Analogues
    (Birkhauser Verlag, 2017) Köse, Aytekin; Bal, Yıldız; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Kara, Yunus
    We have developed a versatile synthetic approach for the synthesis of new isoindole derivatives via the cleavage of ethers from tricyclic imide skeleton compounds. An exo-cycloadduct prepared from the Diels–Alder reaction of furan and maleic anhydride furnished imide derivatives. The epoxide ring was opened with Ac2O in the presence of a catalytic amount of H2SO4 in order to yield new isoindole derivatives (8a and 8b). The anticancer activity of these compounds was evaluated against MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) and A549 (adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial) cell lines. The synthesized compounds showed concentration- and time-dependent inhibitory effects on the viability of both cell lines. Compound 8a was more toxic compared to 8b in both cancer cell lines, having higher cytotoxicity against A549 cells. Testing the toxicity properties of these compounds on the BEAS 2B (human bronchial epithelial) cell line indicated that while both compounds decreased the cell viability of cancer cells, they were less toxic on healthy lung cells. Microscopy images of A549 cells after treatment with the new isoindole derivatives displayed characteristic apoptotic morphology compared to BEAS 2B cells. The results demonstrated here suggest that these new compounds might be considered as possible potential anticancer agents for the treatment of lung and breast cancer. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
