Novel furoxan-based nitric oxide (NO)-releasing derivatives (11a–p) of farnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTA) were synthesized. Compounds 11d, 11f, 11k, and 11m–o displayed anti-tumor activities superior to FTA and sorafenib in most cancer cells tested. Analysis of six compounds revealed that 11d, 11f, 11n, 11o, and 11p, but not 11a that had low anti-tumor activity, produced high levels of NO, associated with their strong anti-tumor activity. Furthermore, the anti-tumor activity of 11f was partially mimicked by the furoxan moiety, but reduced by pre-treatment with hemoglobin. Importantly, treatment with 11f inhibited Ras-related signaling in cancer cells. Apparently, the high anti-tumor activity of 11f was attributed to the synergic effect of high levels of NO production and inhibition of Ras-related signaling in cancer cells. Our findings suggest that the furoxan/FTA hybrids may hold greater promise as therapeutic agents for the intervention of human cancers.
A series of novel furoxan-based nitric oxide (NO)-releasing derivatives of farnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTA) were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human cancer cells, NO-releasing ability and Ras inhibitory activity.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
