    Abstract In the present study, the synthesis and biological evaluation of one novel pyridine and one novel pyridone anticancer compound is reported. The compounds 6‑(2,4‑dimethoxyphenyl)‑4‑(3,4‑methylenedioxyphenyl)‑1H‑pyridin‑2‑one (1) and 2‑(2,4‑dimethoxyphenyl)‑4‑(3,4‑methylenedioxyphenyl)pyridine (2) were synthesized from a chalchone precursor. 1 was more active than 2 in inhibiting the proliferation of MCF‑7 and HepG2 cells, whereas HepG2 cells were more sensitive to the antiproliferative activity of these compounds compared with MCF‑7 cells. The lowest IC50 value was noted for compound 1 in HepG2 cells (IC50=4.5±0.3 µM). The mechanism of action involved induction of G2/M arrest and apoptosis. Both 1 and 2 further induced downregulation of the cell cycle‑associated protein cyclin D1 and upregulation of the cell cycle inhibitors p53 and p21 and the apoptosis‑associated protein JNK in HepG2 cells. Compound 1 was further shown to induce phosphorylation of JNK in HepG2 cells. These results demonstrate promising cytostatic effects for the two novel anticancer compounds in human cancer cells.

    Abstract Inhibition of histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) has been well documented as an attractive target for the development of chemotherapeutic drugs. The present study investigated the effects of two prototype hydroxamic acid HDAC inhibitors, namely Trichostatin A (TSA) and Belinostat (PXD‑101) and the benzamide Entinostat (MS‑275) in A2780 ovarian carcinoma and MCF7 breast adenocarcinoma cells. The three HDACi inhibited the proliferation of A2780 and MCF7 cells at comparable levels, below the µM range. Enzyme inhibition assays in a cell‑free system showed that TSA was the most potent inhibitor of total HDAC enzyme activity followed by PXD‑101 and MS‑275. Incubation of A2780 and MCF7 cells with the hydroxamates TSA and PXD‑101 for 24 h resulted in a dramatic increase of acetylated tubulin induction (up to 30‑fold for TSA). In contrast to acetylated tubulin, western blot analysis and flow cytometry indicated that the induction of acetylated histone H4 was considerably smaller. The benzamide MS‑275 exhibited nearly a 2‑fold induction of acetylated histone H4 and an even smaller induction of acetylated tubulin in A2780 and MCF7 cells. Taken together, these data suggest that although the three HDACi were equipotent in inhibiting proliferation of MCF7 and A2780 cells, only the benzamide MS‑275 did not induce acetylated tubulin expression, a marker of class IIb HDACs.

    Abstract Eupatorin-5-methyl ether (E5M) is a flavone containing 4 methoxy groups that is present in plants with medicinal activity, whereas luteolin (L) is a polyhydroxylated flavone commonly encountered in dietary products. In the present study we investigated the interaction of the two flavonoids with cytochrome P450 CYP1 enzymes in breast cancer MCF7 cells. Both compounds induced a dose dependent increase in CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 mRNA levels, as well as in EROD activity, a marker of CYP1 enzyme activity. Induction of cytochrome P450 CYP1 expression by E5M was accompanied by translocation of the ligand-activated transcription factor AhR to the nucleus, as demonstrated by confocal immunofluoresence. More importantly, although E5M was less active than L in inhibiting proliferation of MCF7 cells, when the cells were pretreated with the CYP1 inducer Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) the potency of E5M was augmented. HPLC and LC-MS analysis revealed that E5M was metabolized to a major conversion product assigned E5M1 resulting from one step demethylation reaction in MCF7 cells whereas L metabolism by recombinant CYP1A1 did not reveal any metabolites. E5M1 production in BaP-induced MCF7 cells was attenuated in the presence of the CYP1A1 inhibitor α-napthoflavone. E5M further induced a dose dependent increase in the cell signaling proteins p21, JNK and p-JNK in MCF7 cells. This effect was enhanced in BaP pretreated cells and was associated with G1 arrest and a small percentage of apoptosis (3.5%). E5M antiproliferative effect in BaP pretreated cells was attenuated in the presence of the CYP1A1 inhibitor α-napthoflavone, as demonstrated by Western blotting and FACS analysis. Taken together the results demonstrate that BaP sensitizes MCF7 cells to E5M antiproliferative activity via enhanced induction of p21, JNK and p-JNK that in turn results by cytochrome P450 CYP1-mediated conversion to the metabolite E5M1.

    Abstract Tangeretin is a polymethoxylated flavone with multifaceted anticancer activity. In the present study, the metabolism of tangeretin was evaluated in the CYP1 expressing human breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 and in the normal breast cell line MCF10A. Tangeretin was converted to 4' OH tangeretin by recombinant CYP1 enzymes and by CYP1 enzymes expressed in MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 cells. This metabolite was absent in MCF10A cells that did not express CYP1 enzymes. Tangeretin exhibited submicromolar IC50 (0.25 ± 0.15 μM) in MDA-MB-468 cells, whereas it was less active in MCF7 cells (39.3 ± 1.5 μM) and completely inactive in MCF10A cells (>100 μM). In MDA-MB-468 cells that were coincubated with the CYP1 inhibitor acacetin, an approximately 70-fold increase was noted in the IC50 (18 ± 1.6 μM) of tangeretin. In the presence of the CYP1 inhibitor acacetin, the conversion of tangeretin to 4' OH tangeretin was significantly reduced in MDA-MB-468 cells (2.55 ± 0.19 μM vs. 6.33 ± 0.12 μM). The mechanism of antiproliferative action involved cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase for MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 cells. Tangeretin was further shown to induce CYP1 enzyme activity and CYP1A1/CYP1B1 protein expression in MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 cells. These results suggest that tangeretin inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer cells via CYP1A1/CYP1B1-mediated metabolism to the product 4' hydroxy tangeretin.

    Abstract Various types of tumors are known to overexpress enzymes belonging to the CYP1 family of cytochromes P450. The present study aimed to characterize the metabolism and further antiproliferative activity of the natural flavonoid diosmetin in the CYP1-expressing human hepatoma cell line HepG2. Diosmetin was converted to luteolin in HepG2 cells after 12 and 30 h of incubation. In the presence of the CYP1A inhibitor α-naphthoflavone, the conversion of diosmetin to luteolin was attenuated. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays revealed luteolin to be more cytotoxic than diosmetin. The antiproliferative effect of diosmetin in HepG2 cells was attributed to blockage at the G2/M phase as determined by flow cytometry. Induction of G2/M arrest was accompanied by up-regulation of phospho-extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), phospho-c-jun N-terminal kinase, p53 and p21 proteins. More importantly, induction of G2/M arrest and p53 and p-ERK up-regulation were reversed by the application of the CYP1 inhibitor α-naphthoflavone. Taken together, the data provide new evidence on the tumor-suppressing role of cytochrome P450 CYP1A enzymes and extend the hypothesis that the anticancer activity of dietary flavonoids is enhanced by P450-activation.

    Abstract Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) comprise a group of chemical compounds that have been examined extensively due to the potential harmful effects in the health of human populations. During the past decades, particular focus has been given to the harmful effects of EDCs to the reproductive system. The estimation of human exposure to EDCs can be broadly categorized into occupational and environmental exposure, and has been a major challenge due to the structural diversity of the chemicals that are derived by many different sources at doses below the limit of detection used by conventional methodologies. Animal and in vitro studies have supported the conclusion that endocrine disrupting chemicals affect the hormone dependent pathways responsible for male and female gonadal development, either through direct interaction with hormone receptors or via epigenetic and cell-cycle regulatory modes of action. In human populations, the majority of the studies point towards an association between exposure to EDCs and male and/or female reproduction system disorders, such as infertility, endometriosis, breast cancer, testicular cancer, poor sperm quality and/or function. Despite promising discoveries, a causal relationship between the reproductive disorders and exposure to specific toxicants is yet to be established, due to the complexity of the clinical protocols used, the degree of occupational or environmental exposure, the determination of the variables measured and the sample size of the subjects examined. Future studies should focus on a uniform system of examining human populations with regard to the exposure to specific EDCs and the direct effect on the reproductive system.

    Abstract Nobiletin is a fully methoxylated flavone that has demonstrated anticancer activity via multiple modes of action. In the present study, the metabolism and further antiproliferative activity of nobiletin was evaluated in the CYP1 expressing human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 and the normal breast cell line MCF10A. Nobiletin was metabolized in MDA-MB-468 cells to a single-demethylated derivative assigned NP1. This metabolite was absent in MCF10A cells that did not express CYP1 enzymes. Nobiletin exhibited submicromolar IC50 (0.1 ± 0.04 μM) in MDA-MB-468 cells, whereas it was considerably less active in MCF10A cells (40 μM). In MDA-MB-468 cells that were coincubated with the CYP1 inhibitor acacetin, an approximately 300-fold increase was noted in the IC50 (30 ± 2.4 μM) of nobiletin. In the presence of the CYP1 inhibitor acacetin, the conversion of nobiletin to NP1 was significantly reduced in MDA-MB-468 cells. Furthermore, a significant increase was noted in the population of the cells at the G1 phase, following treatment with nobiletin (10 μM) for 24 h compared with the control cells treated with DMSO (0.1%) alone (55.9 ± 0.14 vs. 45.6 ± 1.96), whereas the cell cycle of MCF10A cells was not significantly altered under the same treatment conditions. Taken collectively, the results suggest that nobiletin is selectively bioactivated in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells via metabolism by the cytochrome P450 CYP1 family of enzymes.

    Abstract Resveratrol is a natural dietary product that has demonstrated multifaceted anticancer activity. Several analogues of resveratrol have been synthesized in an effort to enhance the pharmacological potency and improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the compound. 3,4,5,4'‑trans‑tetramethoxystilbene (3,4,5,4'‑TMS) is a methoxylated analogue of resveratrol that has demonstrated anti-proliferative activity in vitro (in cancer cell lines) and in vivo (in xenograft models). In the present study, the anticancer effects of 3,4,5,4'‑TMS in A375 human melanoma cells were examined. 3,4,5,4'‑TMS markedly inhibited the proliferation of A375 cells (IC50=0.7 µM), via a mechanism involving mitotic arrest at the prometaphase stage of cell division. This effect was accompanied by the upregulation of the expression of the mitogen activated protein kinases, JNK and p38, and the concomitant activation of p38, that was verified by the nuclear translocation of the phoshorylated form of the protein. The pharmacological inhibition of p38 by SB203580 (4 µM) attenuated the effects of 3,4,5,4'‑TMS, as demonstrated by decreased cell cycle progression at the mitotic phase. Furthermore, 3,4,5,4'‑TMS increased the total levels of Aurora A, while it inhibited the localization of the protein to the spindle poles. Finally, 3,4,5,4'‑TMS exhibited anti-metastatic activity, inhibiting A375 cell migration and the attachment of the cells to a collagen type IV-coated surface. Collectively, the data suggest that 3,4,5,4'‑TMS is an effective chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of human melanoma and that it exerts its effects through multiple anticancer modes of action.

    Abstract Nobiletin is a fully methoxylated flavone that has demonstrated anticancer activity via multiple modes of action. In the present study, the metabolism and further antiproliferative activity of nobiletin was evaluated in the CYP1 expressing human breast cancer cell line MDA–MB–468 and the normal breast cell line MCF10A. Nobiletin was metabolized in MDA–MB–468 cells to a single-demethylated derivative assigned NP1. This metabolite was absent in MCF10A cells that did not express CYP1 enzymes. Nobiletin exhibited submicromolar IC50 (0.1 ± 0.04 μM) in MDA–MB–468 cells, whereas it was considerably less active in MCF10A cells (40 μM). In MDA–MB–468 cells that were coincubated with the CYP1 inhibitor acacetin, an approximately 300–fold increase was noted in the IC50 (30 ± 2.4 μM) of nobiletin. In the presence of the CYP1 inhibitor acacetin, the conversion of nobiletin to NP1 was significantly reduced in MDA–MB–468 cells. Furthermore, a significant increase was noted in the population of the cells at the G1 phase, following treatment with nobiletin (10 μM) for 24 h compared with the control cells treated with DMSO (0.1%) alone (55.9 ± 0.14 vs. 45.6 ± 1.96), whereas the cell cycle of MCF10A cells was not significantly altered under the same treatment conditions. Taken collectively, the results suggest that nobiletin is selectively bioactivated in MDA–MB–468 breast cancer cells via metabolism by the cytochrome P450 CYP1 family of enzymes.
