Hybrid molecules are composed of two pharmacophores with different biological activities. Here, we conjugated phthalazine moieties (antiangiogenetic pharmacophore) and bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrole moieties (DNA cross-linking agent) to form a series of bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazine hybrids. These conjugates were cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell lines by inducing DNA damage, arresting cell cycle progression at the G2/M phase, triggering apoptosis, and inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) in endothelial cells. Among them, compound 29d encapsulated in a liposomal formulation (e.g., 29dL) significantly suppressed the growth of small-cell lung cancer cell (H526) xenografts in mice. Based on immunohistochemical staining, the tumor xenografts in mice treated with 29dL showed time-dependent decreases in the intensity of CD31, a marker of blood vessels, whereas the intensity of γ-H2AX, a marker of DNA damage, increased. The present data revealed that the conjugation of antiangiogenic and DNA-damaging agents can generate potential hybrid agents for cancer treatment.

Efforts to develop new antitumor agents are now directed towards multitarget therapies that are believed to have high potency and low tendency to resistance compared to conventional drugs. Herein, we highlighted the synthesis and antitumor activity of five series of phthalazine-based compounds featuring a variety of bioactive chemical fragments at position 1 of the phthalazine nucleus. The antitumor activity of the target compounds was performed against fourteen cancer cell lines where all compounds were active in the nanomolar level. In addition, the mechanism of action of the target compounds was investigated through an enzymatic inhibitory assay against VEGFR-2 and EGFR kinases, revealing potent and preferential activity toward VEGFR-2. Binding mode of the most active compounds was studied using docking experiment.
