Design, Synthesis, and Apoptosis-Promoting Effect Evaluation of Rhopaladins' Analog 4-Arylidene-5-Oxopyrrolidine Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Marine alkaloids have novel structures and antitumor activities. Therefore, we synthesized rhopaladins' analogs from marine alkaloids rhopaladins A-D and modified their structures to synthesize 4-benzylidene-5-pyrrolidone derivatives. Among the compounds, (2E, 4E)-4-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2-(4-chlorostyryl)-N-cyclohexyl-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (RPDPRH) has high efficiency and less hepatotoxicity, with IC₅₀ values of 4.66, 6.42, 17.66, 15.2, 12.36, 22.4, and 243.2 μM in vitro anti-proliferative activity testing against cervical cancer C-33A, CaSki, SiHa, and HeLa cells, human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 and 7402 cells, and human normal liver LO2 cells, respectively. In particular, RPDPRH has similar activity to cisplatin on human hep
