Angiogenesis plays an essential role in tumourigenesis and tumour progression, and anti-angiogenesis therapies have shown promising antitumour effects in solid tumours. 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2), an endogenous metabolite of estradiol, has been regarded as a potential antitumour agent mainly targeting angiogenesis. Here we synthesized a novel series of chalcones based on 2-methoxyestradiol and evaluated their potential activities against tumours. Compound 11e was demonstrated to have potent antiangiogenic activity. Further studies showed that 11e suppressed tumour growth in human breast cancer (MCF-7)xenograft models without obvious side effects. Evaluation of the mechanism revealed that 11e targeted the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)process in MCF-7 cells and inhibited HUVEC migration and then contributed to hindrance of angiogenesis. Thus, 11e may be a promising antitumour agent with excellent efficacy and low toxicity.

The syntheses and antimitotic activity of several novel analogs of 2-methoxyestradiol are described. Structural modifications include ring-D homologation, aromatization of the six-membered ring-D to a chrysine type molecule, and introduction of unsaturation in five-membered ring-D along with substitution of alkyl and ethynyl groups for the 17β-hydroxy function. Of nine analogs synthesized, five have demonstrated superior antiproliferative activities compared to 2-methoxyestradiol.
