A novel anti-lung cancer agent inhibits proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To synthesize a novel chalcone-1,3,4-thiadiazole hybrid and investigate its anticancer effects against NCI-H460 cells.

Methods

(E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, 1,3-dibromopropane and 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol were used as chemical materials to synthesize compound ZW97. The NCI-H460 lung cancer cell line was selected to explore the antitumor effects of compound ZW97 in vitro and in vivo.

Results

Compound ZW97 selectively inhibited cell proliferation against lung cancer cell lines NCI-H460, HCC-44 and NCI-H3122 with IC₅₀ values of 0.15 μM, 2.06 μM and 1.17 μM, respectively. ZW97 suppressed migration and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process in NCI-H460 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. B
