Abstract
Honokiol, widely known as an anti-tumor agent, has been used as an anti-angiogenesis drug lead. In this paper, 47 honokiol analogs and derivatives were investigated for their anti-angiogenic activity by application of the transgenic zebrafish screening model, anti-proliferative and cytotoxic activity against HUVECs and three tumor cell lines by MTT assay. 3',5-diallyl-2,4'-dihydroxy-[1,1'-biphen-yl]-3,5'-dicarbaldehyde (8c) was found to suppress the newly-grown segmental vessels from the dorsal aorta of zebrafish, and prevent inappropriate vascularisation as well as exhibit more potent inhibitory effects on the proliferation of HUVECs, A549, HepG2, and LL/2 cells (IC50 = 15.1, 30.2, 10.7, and 21.7 µM, respectively) than honokiol (IC50 = 52.6, 35.0, 16.5, and 65.4 µM, respectively). Analog 8c also effectively inhibited the migration and capillary-like tube formation of HUVECs in vitro. The anti-angiogenic effect and anti-proliferative activity of these structurally modified honokiol analogs and derivatives have led to the establishment of a structure-activity relationship.
