Abstract

One of the possible ways of improving the activity and selectivity profile of anticancer agents is to design drug carrier systems employing nanomolecules. Calix[4]arene derivatives and chlorambucil and ibuprofen are important compounds that exhibit interesting anticancer properties.The objective of this article is the synthesis of new calix[4]arene-derivative conjugates of chlorambucil or ibuprofen with potential anticancer activity.Cytotoxicity assays were determined using the protein-binding dye sulforhodamine B (SRB) in microculture to measure cell growth, as described [19,20]. Conjugates of chlorambucil and resorcinarene-dendrimers were prepared in 2% DMSO and added into the culture medium immediately before use. Control cells were treated with 2% DMSO.Thus, calix[4]arene-derivative conjugates of chlorambucil or ibuprofen showed good stability of the chemical link between drug and spacer. Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of the calix[4]arene chlorambucil or ibuprofen conjugates employing a sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay in K-562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells) and U-251 (human glioblastoma cells) demonstrated that the conjugate was more potent as an antiproliferative agent than free chlorambucil and ibuprofen. The conjugates did not show any activity against the COS-7 African green monkey kidney fibroblast cell line.In the paper we report the synthesis and spectroscopic analyses of new calix[4]arene derivative conjugates of chlorambucil or ibuprofen. Cytotoxicity assays revealed that at 10 μM, the conjugates were very active against K-562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells) and U-251 (human glioblastoma cells) cancer cells' proliferation. In order to explain the molecular mechanisms involved in anticancer activity of calix[4]arene chlorambucil or ibuprofen conjugates, our research will be continued.
