Abstract
Salvinal is a natural lignan isolated from the roots of Salvia mitorrhiza Bunge (Danshen). Previous studies have demonstrated its anti-proliferative activity in both drug-sensitive and -resistant cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 4-17 µM. In this study, a series of salvinal derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for the structure-activity relationship. Among the twenty-four salvinal derivatives, six compounds showed better anticancer activity than salvinal. Compound 25 displayed excellent anticancer activity, with IC50 values of 0.13-0.14 µM against KB, KB-Vin10 (overexpress MDR/Pgp), and KB-7D (overexpress MRP) human carcinoma cell lines. Based on our in vitro microtubule depolymerization assay, compound 25 showed depolymerization activity in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings indicate that compound 25 is a promising anticancer agent with depolymerization activity that has potential for the management of malignance.
