In Vitro Cytotoxic and Antioxidant Activity of 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydropyridine-3,5-Dicarboxylic Acid Derivatives
摘要
The cytotoxic and antioxidant activity of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid (TDA) derivatives obtained by Mannich reactions of ethyl acetoacetate or ethyl 4,4-difluoroacetoacetate with formaldehyde and primary amines, including amino acid esters, was studied. The most active cytotoxic compound was fluorinated TDA with a tyrosine fragment, which showed a cytotoxic effect on HTC116 human colorectal carcinoma cells (IC50 70.25 μM). N-Propyl- and N-2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethyl-TDA exhibited antioxidant properties in the FRAP model (EC50 12.03 and 11.83 μg/ml) that were comparable to those of ascorbic acid and Trolox.
