Abstract

A series of 3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine-1,4-dioxide derivatives 1 have been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity in vitro against human leukemia cell lines: Molt-4, K562, HL60, human liver Cancer cell Hep-G2, human prostate Cancer cell PC-3 in hypoxia. Most of the compounds showed more potent activity than TPZ. Compounds 1i and 1m displayed encouraging superior activity against Molt-4 and HL-60 cell lines. Three potential derivatives received the test of the activity in hypoxia and in normoxia against Molt-4 and HL-60 cell lines and showed obvious hypoxia selectivity. Further mechanism study revealed that the cytotoxic activities of compounds 1i and 1k in Molt-4 cells might be mediated by modulation of p53 protein expression and mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)).
