Improved inhibitory activities against tumor-cell migration and invasion by 15-benzylidene substitution derivatives of andrographolide

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Dec 1;23(23):6421-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.09.049. Epub 2013 Sep 25.

Abstract

In the present study, andrographolide (Andro, 1) derivatives were screened to identify potent inhibitors against tumor-cell migration and invasion, and associated structure-activity relationships were studied. Compared to 1, compounds 8a-8d exhibited more potent activities against migration in SGC-7901, PC-3, A549, HT-29 and Ec109 cell lines. Improved activities against tumor-cell migration and invasion were proved to be associated with the down-regulation of MMPs.

Keywords: Andrographolide; Derivative; Invasion; MMP-9; Migration.
