3-Bromophenyl 6-acetoxymethyl-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxylate inhibits cancer cell invasion in vitro and tumour growth in vivo

Abstract: In search for new anticancer agents, we have evaluated the antiinvasive and antimigrative properties of recently developed synthetic coumarin derivatives among which two compounds revealed important activity: 3-chlorophenyl 6-acetoxymethyl-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxylate and 3-bromophenyl 6-acetoxymethyl-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxylate. Both drugs were able to inhibit cell invasion markedly in a Boyden chamber assay, the bromo derivative being more potent than the reference matrix metalloprotease (MMP)… Show more

“…The other MMP inhibitor, Ro 28-2653, was found to be equally active to GI 129471 at 1 µM. As previously reported, the bromo-substituted coumarin 2 giving 78% inhibition of cell invasion at 1 µM concentration was found to be more potent than the reference compound GI 129471, whereas the corresponding chloro-substituted analogue 1 was also active (51% inhibition of cell invasion at 1 µM) but less potent than the two formers [10].…”

“…The new synthetic coumarins were examined in a 'Boyden chamber' invasion assay using HT 1080 fibrosarcoma cells in order to determine their potency in reducing the invasive behaviour of tumour cells [10]. The assay consists in measuring the ability of cells treated or not with the coumarinic derivatives tested at different concentrations to pass through type IV collagen-coated Transwell cell culture inserts (chemoinvasion assay).…”
