Resumen:
Background: The synthesis of conjugates with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs could improve their activity with less toxicity and these compounds could be used for the treatment of cancer. Objective: The aim of the present investigation was the synthesis of 3,5-bis(dodecyloxy)benzoate-PAMAM conjugates with indomethacin and mefenamic acid to examine their anticancer activity. Methods: The anticancer activity was studied of the conjugates against six human cancer cells U-251, PC-3, K-562, HCT-15, MCF-7, SKLU-1, and the COS-7 (as a control) cell lines. The conjugates with indomethacin and mefenamic acid were characterized by1H,13C NMR one-and two-dimension spectroscopy. Results: All the conjugates synthetized with indomethacin or mefenamic acid showed anticancer activity against all the human cancer cell lines. The first generation of indomethacin conjugates showed better activity against the PC-3 (human prostatic adenocarcinoma) cell line than the second generation. But the second generation with indomethacin showed better activity against PC-3 than the first generation. The second-generation conjugate with mefenamic acid had strong selectivity to PC-3 cells with an IC50 value of 10.23 ± 1.2 µM in vitro. Conclusion: In the paper, we report the synthesis and spectroscopic analyses of new indomethacin or mefenamic acid conjugates. The overall results showed that the conjugate of the second generation with mefenamic acid could be a potential nanocarrier for human prostatic adenocarcinoma cancer treatment, our research will be continued. © 2023 Bentham Science Publishers.
