Design, synthesis and activity evaluation of arctigenin derivatives with HDAC inhibition activity

Abstract

Arctigenin, a natural product with diverse pharmacological activities, can inhibit cell proliferation and survival and has shown promising potential in cancer research. In this study, we designed a series of arctigenin derivatives with HDAC inhibitory activity based on the synergistic effects between HDAC inhibitors and arctigenin. Among them, compound B7 exhibited significantly higher antiproliferative activity in the MV411 cell line compared to the positive control, tucidinostat. Additionally, enzymatic activity testing was performed with compound B7. Further mechanistic studies indicated that compound B7 induced apoptosis through the Caspase-3 pathway in MV411 cells and enhanced histone acetylation levels in the MV411 cell line. These findings highlight the broad potential application of these arctigenin derivatives in cancer therapy.
