A series of amide anthraquinone derivatives, an important component of some traditional Chinese medicines, were structurally modified and the resulting antitumor activities were evaluated. The compounds showed potent anti-proliferative activities against eight human cancer cell lines, with no noticeable cytotoxicity towards normal cells. Among the candidate compounds, 1-nitro-2-acyl anthraquinone-leucine (8a) showed the greatest inhibition of HCT116 cell activity with an IC50 of 17.80 μg/mL. In addition, a correlation model was established in a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study using Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA). Moreover, compound 8a effectively killed tumor cells by reactive oxygen species (ROS)-JNK activation, causing an increase in ROS levels, JNK phosphorylation, and mitochondrial stress. Cytochrome c was then released into cytoplasm, which, in turn activated the cysteine protease pathway and ultimately induced tumor cell apoptosis, suggesting a potential use of this compound for colon cancer treatment.

1-Nitroanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acids of the general formula I STR1 where X is hydrogen, chlorine or bromine, are prepared by oxidizing a 1-nitro-2-methylanthraquinone of the general formula II STR2 with nitric acid in an organic reaction medium.

1-Nitroanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid of the formula I STR1 is prepared by treating novel 2-substituted 1-nitroanthraquinones of the general formula II STR2 where R is --CH=CH--R1 or --CH2 --CHO, where R1 is C1 -C5 -dialkylamino or a cyclic 5- or 6-membered amine which may contain further hetero atoms, with oxidizing agents free of heavy metal.
