Abstract

Two xanthone derivatives, garciniaxanthone E (1) and 12b-Hydroxy-des-D-garcigerrin A (2) have been isolated from ethyl acetate extract of the tree bark of Garcinia dulcis. The Ultraviolet (UV), Infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Mass Spectrometry (MS) data analysis elucidated the structure of the isolated compounds. This study represents the first evaluation of compounds 1 and 2 in terms of their efficacy against receptor tyrosine kinases. The results showed that compound 1 exhibited weak activity with 12% inhibition against Insulin Receptor (InsR), while compound 2 showed moderate activity with 29% inhibition against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A molecular docking study targeting EGFR-TK suggests that the hydroxyl group at C-4 on compound 2 can be demolished to raise the inhibitory activity in future research.

Abstract

Cancer poses a substantial global health challenge. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality after lung cancer and is associated with high mortality rates worldwide. Chalcones have attracted significant interest because of their diverse biological properties, including potential anticancer effects. In this study, five 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxychalcones (1-5) were tested against HCT-116 colon cancer cells using an MTT assay for the first time. Molecular docking was conducted to predict molecular interactions targeting three proteins (tubulin, EGFR, and CDK2). Among the five, four compounds (1, 3, 4, and 5) exhibited strong inhibitory activity against HCT-116 colon cells, with IC50 values < 10 µM. Compounds 1-5 showed potency as drug candidates based on the Lipinski rules and pharmacokinetic profiles using SwissADME and pkCSM online tools. Moreover, molecular docking was performed on compound 5 against three protein targets (tubulin, EGFR, CDK2) with binding affinities of -7.4, -7.3, and -8.5 kcal/mol, respectively, and showed major H-bond interactions. Therefore, these results suggest that compound 5 could be a potential inhibitor to be developed in future studies, both in vitro and in vivo, to understand its inhibition mechanism and efficacy.

Abstract

Isovanillic acid and its derivatives serve as precursors in the synthesis of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which are used to treat cancer cell lines. A crucial step in this process is the nitration of isovanillic acid through nucleophilic aromatic substitution, resulting in 6-nitroisovanilic acid and its derivatives, which act as intermediates for forming a quinazolinone ring. However, this study revealed that direct nitration of isovanillic acid derivatives led to unexpected products, such as 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2,6-dinitrobenzoic acid (1) and 4-(3-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)propyl)morpholine (4). Additionally, the optimal conditions for etherification of 2 with N-(3-chloropropyl)morpholine to produce 3 involved using Cs2CO3 in DMF and refluxing for 7 hours, achieving an 89% yield. All synthesized compounds were characterized using NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry was employed for two compounds (3, 4). Compound 1 represents the first report of direct nitration of isovanillic acid. Compound 4 was synthesized for the first time from 3 through a one-pot process involving hydrolysis and decarboxylation, followed by nitration at carbon C-1 without metal catalysis, as confirmed by a NOESY 1D experiment. Moreover, the application of 4 could hold promise for future advancements in medicinal chemistry.
