비스 방향족 ${alpha},{eta}$-불포화 케톤 유도체들중 비교적 양호한 farnesyl protein transferase(FPTase) 저해활성을 나타낸 1,3-diphenylpropenone 유도체들에 대하여 in vitro에서 사람의 종양세포주인 A549(폐암)를 비롯하여 SKMEL-2(피부암), HCT-15(결장암), SKOV-3(자궁암) 및 XF-498(뇌암)등 5종의 종양 세포주에 대한 세포독성을 측정하고 기질분자의 치환기 변화에 따른 구조-활성관계(SAR)를 Free-Wilson방법과 Hansch방법으로 검토하였다. 전체적으로 styryl group중의 Y-치환기보다 benzoyl group중의 X-치환기가 세포독성에 큰 영향(X>Y)을 미쳤으며, 2,4-dichloro 치환체, 15와 2,4-dimethyl 치환체, 16이 모든 종양 세포주에 대하여 가장 높은 세포독성을 나타내었다. 또한, X-치환기는 주로 적정값$({sigma}_{opt}=0.22{sim}0.29})$의 약한 전자끌게$({sigma}>0)$에 의한 전자전달 효과$({sigma})$에 의존적으로 세포독성이 증가하는 반면에 Y-치환기는 logP, $B_1$ 및 R상수 등 다양한 요소로 영향을 미치고 있음을 알았다.
The cytotoxicity of 1,3-diphenylpropenone derivatives known to inhibit the farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) was examined against various established tumor cell line, A549 (lung cancer), SKMEL-2 (uterine cancer), HCT-15 (skin cancer), SKOV-3 (brain cancer) and XF-498 (colon cancer) of the 1,3-diphenylpropenone derivatives showing farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) inhibition activity. And the structure-activity relationship (SAR) between structure of 1,3-diphenylpropenone derivatives as substrate and cytotoxicity was investigated by Free-Wilson analysis as well as Hansch method with tumor cell lines. From the result of Free-Wilson analyses, X-substituents on the benzoyl group have a more important role than Y-substituents on the styryl group. The 2,4-dichloro substituent, 15 and 2,4-dimethyl substituent, 16 showed the highest cytotoxicity (average pI_(50)=5.0). Particulary, the cytotoxicity of X-substituents increased with electronic effect $({sigma})$ due to weak electron withdrawing group with optimum value $({sigma}_{opt}=0.22{sim}0.29})$ whereas that of Y-substituent resulted from various factors such as logP, $B_1$ and R constant.
