Abstract

A total of five matrine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti‑proliferation activity using a panel of four human cancer cell lines, including A549 lung, BT20 breast, MCF‑7 breast and U2OS osteosarcoma cells. The YF3‑5, YF3‑7 and YF3‑9, three novel compounds, demonstrated increased anti‑proliferation activity compared with matrine, of which YF3‑5 revealed the strongest anti‑proliferation activity with a half‑maximal inhibitory concentration value of 15.49‑16.67 µM against the four human cancer cell lines. The anti‑proliferation mechanism underlying YF3‑5 was investigated in the A549 human lung cancer cell line and the results demonstrated that YF3‑5 exerted its anti‑proliferation activity through the induction of apoptosis and oxidative stress, in addition to arresting the cell cycle at the G1 phase in a dose‑dependent manner.
