Abstract
Cancer is one major disease causing death worldwide. Current cancer treatments are not %100 effective to cure for patients, yet. Thereby, the synthesis and discovery of new therapeutics have been important to improve the survival period of the cancer patients. There are many strategies for synthesis of cancer therapeutics. One of the most important strategy for cancer treatment is the reactivation of p53. MDM2 is a negative regulator of p53 in cell, because it causes the inactivation of p53. In this thesis, the anticancer and MDM2 inhibitory properties of ezetimibe, desfluoro ezetimibe and intermediates during ezetimibe synthesis (named as SM2-9) and a side product from the synthesis of benidipine (named as SM1) on prostate cancer (LnCAP, wildtype p53), breast cancer (MCF7, wild type p53) and uterus cancer (HeLa, wild type nonfunctional p53) cells were investigated. For this purpose, the cytotoxic, cytostatic and apoptotic properties of these compounds were determined. Compounds SM2, SM3, SM4 and SM6 demonstrated cytotoxic effects, whereas compounds SM5, SM8 and SM9 had cytostatic effects on three cells. Compound SM7 had no effect on these cells, up to 100 μM concentration. Compounds SM1 had cytostatic effect on MCF7 cells, but it showed no activity on other cells. Compounds SM8 and SM9 had strong cytostatic activity. Thus, the apoptotic properties of these compounds were examined by caspases 3/7 activation and Annexin-V FITC assays. Besides, MDM2 inhibitor profiles of these compounds were investigated by fluorescence polarization assay. This study provides novel and potential molecules for drug discovery in cancer treatment.
