Objectives: In this work, 9 lipophilic-acid chelating FQs (fluoroquinolones) comprising chelating groups have been prepared, characterized and screened for in vitro cytotoxicity, radical scavenging and antiinflammation propensities. Methods: Using sulforhodamine B colorimetric bioassay vs. cisplatin; FQs-inflicted reductions' of viability against breast T47D and MCF7, Pancreatic PANC-1, colorectal HT29, HCT116, SW620, CACO2, SW480 and Leukaemia K562 cancer cell lines were examined in quadruplicates/dose/cell line. Parameters including potency, toxicity, and selectivity (potency/toxicity) have been reported along with DPPH-and NO-radicals' scavenging capacities -as their molecular action mechanism-in comparison to ascorbic acid and indomethacin respectively. Using Griess assay in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) prompted RAW264.7 macrophages; mitigation of inflammation was investigated. Results: nitroFQ 3b, unlike the rest of FQs in PANC1 and MCF7 cells, exhibited remarkably superior NO-radical scavenging/ antiinflammation capacity to indomethacin with respective antiproliferative IC 50 values (<50µM) 49 vs. cisplatin's 122 and 6 vs. cisplatin's 28 (p<0.01-0.001; n=4). Reduced FQ 4b of significantly dual DPPH-NO scavenging propensities exerted exceptionally substantial micromolar antiproliferation in colorectal cancer cells with respective antiproliferative IC 50 values (<50µM) of HCT116 0.84< HT29 1.6
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
