Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most widely used drugs in the world but some NSAIDs such as diclofenac and tolfenamic acid display levels of cytotoxicity, an effect which has been attributed to the presence of diphenylamine contained in their structures. A novel series of diphenylamine derivatives were synthetised and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities and proliferation inhibition. The most active compounds in the cytotoxicity tests were derivative 6g with an IC50 value of 2.5 ± 1.1 × 10-6 M and derivative 6f with an IC50 value of 6.0 ± 3.0 × 10-6 M (L1210 cell line) after 48 h incubation. The results demonstrate that leukemic L1210 cells were much more sensitive to compounds 6f and 6g than the HEK293T cells (IC50 = 35 × 10-6 M for 6f and IC50 > 50 × 10-6 M for 6g) and NIH-3T3 (IC50 > 50 × 10-6 M for both derivatives). The IC50 values show that these substances may selectively kill leukemic cells over non-cancer cells. Cell cycle analysis revealed that a primary trend of the diphenylamine derivatives was to arrest the cells in the G1-phase of the cell cycle within the first 24 h. UV-visible, fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism were used in order to study the binding mode of the novel compounds with DNA. The binding constants determined by UV-visible spectroscopy were found to be in the range of 2.1-8.7 × 104 M-1. We suggest that the observed trend for binding constant K is likely to be a result of different binding thermodynamics accompanying the formation of the complexes.

Three new diphenylsubstituted spirotriazolidine- and thiazolidinone-acridines were prepared and their interaction with calf thymus DNA investigated with UV-vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism spectroscopy and viscometry. The binding constants K were estimated to range from 0.34 to 0.93 × 10(4) M(-1). UV-vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism measurements indicated that the compounds act as effective DNA-interacting agents. Electrophoretic separation proved that ligands inhibited topoisomerase I and II. The biological activity of compounds 3, 5 &6 at several different concentrations (10, 20 and 50 μM) was evaluated both 48 h and 72 h following their addition to HL-60 cancer cells. The results were analysed using various different techniques (MMP detection, changes in metabolic activity/viability and analysis of cell cycle distribution). Acridine was also used as the positive control in these assays. The results from MMP analysis demonstrate the strong effect of 3-diphenylamino-2-(acridin-9-yl)imino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (5) on mitochondrial physiology. Cell viability analysis showed that acridine derivatives 3 and 6 were less effective than derivative 5 and the acridine control.

A novel series of trisubstituted acridines were synthesized with the aim of mimicking the effects of BRACO19. These compounds were synthesized by modifying the molecular structure of BRACO19 at positions 3 and 6 with heteroacyclic moieties. All of the derivatives presented in the study exhibited stabilizing effects on the human telomeric DNA quadruplex. UV-vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism, linear dichroism and viscosimetry were used in order to study the nature of the DNA binding in more detail. The results show that all of the novel derivatives were able to fold the single-stranded DNA sequences into antiparallel G-quadruplex structures, with derivative 15 exhibiting the highest stabilizing capability. Cell cycle analysis revealed that a primary trend of the "braco"-like derivatives was to arrest the cells in the S- and G2M-phases of the cell cycle within the first 72h, with derivative 13 and BRACO19 proving particularly effective in suppressing cell proliferation. All studies derivatives were less toxic to human fibroblast cell line in comparison with HT 29 cancer cell line.

A new series of substituted tacrine/acridine and tacrine/tacrine dimers with aliphatic or alkylene-thiourea linkers was synthesized and the potential of these compounds as novel human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) and human butyrylcholinesterase (hBChE) inhibitors with nanomolar inhibition activity was evaluated. The most potent AChE inhibitor was found to be homodimeric tacrine derivative 14a, which demonstrated an IC50 value of 2 nM; this value indicates an activity rate which is 250-times higher than that of tacrine 1 and 7500-times higher than 7-MEOTA 15, the compounds which were used as standards in the study. IC50 values of derivatives 1, 9, 10, 14b and 15 were compared with the dissociation constants of the enzyme-inhibitor complex, Ki1, and the enzyme-substrate-inhibitor complex, Ki2, for. A dual binding site is presumed for the synthesized compounds which possess two tacrines or tacrine and acridine as terminal moieties show evidence of dual site binding. DFT calculations of theoretical desolvation free energies, ΔΔGtheor, and docking studies elucidate these suggestions in more detail.
