A series of novel nitrogen mustard-evodiamine hybrids were synthesized and evaluated for their antitproliferative properties. The antiproliferative activities of 10a-d, 11a-d, and 12a-d against four different kinds of human cancer cell lines (PC-3, HepG2, THP-1 and HL-60) and human normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were determined. The results showed that all the target hybrid compounds exhibited antiproliferative activities against tested human tumor cell lines to some extent and no antiproliferative activities (> 200 mu M) against human normal PBMC cells. The antiproliferative selectivity between tumorous and normal cells was very useful for further antitumor drug development. Among the target compounds, 12c showed the strongest cytotoxicity against two tumor cell lines (THP-1 and HL-60) with IC50 values of 4.05 mu M and 0.50 mu M, respectively, and selected for further mechanism study in HL-60 cells. The results showed that 12c could induce HL-60 cells apoptosis and arrest at G(2) phase at low sub-micromolar concentrations via mitochondria-related pathways. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
