Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. First-line drugs such as sorafenib provide only a modest benefit to HCC patients. In this study, the gram-scale synthesis of 2-benzoylquinazolin-4(3H)-one skeleton was achieved successfully via the I2/DMSO catalytic system. A series of penipanoid C-inspired 2-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against four cancer cell lines, HepG2, Bel-7402, A549, and U251. Among these compounds, I was the most effective one with IC50 values of 1.22μM and 1.71μM against HepG2 and Bel-7402 cells, resp. Mechanistic studies showed that I inhibited hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation via arresting cell cycle. Addnl., I induced HepG2 cells apoptosis by inducing reactive oxygen species production and elevating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. More importantly, I displayed significant in vivo anticancer effects in the HepG2 xenograft models. This suggests that I is a promising lead compound with the potential to be developed as a chemotherapy agent for hepatocellular carcinoma.
