RT Journal Article T1 Synthetic cannabinoid quinones: Preparation, in vitro antiproliferative effects and in vivo prostate antitumor activity A1 Morales, Paula A1 Vara, Diana A1 Gómez Cañas, María A1 Zúñiga, María A1 Olea-Azar, Claudio A1 Goya, Pilar A1 Fernández Ruiz, José Javier A1 Díaz-Laviada Marturet, Inés A1 Jagerovic, Nadine AB Chromenopyrazolediones have been designed and synthesized as anticancer agents using the multi biological target concept that involves quinone cytotoxicity and cannabinoid antitumor properties. In cell cytotoxicity assays, these chromenopyrazolediones have antiproliferative activity against human prostate cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. It has been shown that the most potent, derivative 4 (PM49), inhibits prostate LNCaP cell viability (IC50 ¼ 15 mM) through a mechanism involving oxidative stress, PPARg receptor and partially CB1 receptor. It acts on prostate cell growth by causing G0/G1 phase arrest and triggering apoptosis as assessed by flow cytometry measurements. In the in vivo treatment, compound 4 at 2 mg/kg, blocks the growth of LNCaP tumors and reduces the growth of PC-3 tumors generated in mice. These studies suggest that 4 is a good potential anticancer agent against hormone sensitive prostate cancer.
