Abstract

A series of 2-alkylaminomethyl jaspine B analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on human lung adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, and prostate cancer cell lines and a mouse melanoma cell line. Most of the compounds exhibited moderate to good activity against the cancer cell lines. Compound 7f showed the best overall cytotoxicity on PC-3 cells (IC50 = 0.85 μM). Further mechanistic studies revealed that compound 7f induced marked changes in PC-3 cell morphology, disrupted the mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased expression of the autophagy proteins beclin-1, LC3, and P62.
