Gastric cancer represents a significant health burden worldwide. Previously, inspired by the traditional Chinese medicine Wu-Chu-Yu to treat the spleen and stomach system for thousands of years, we identified N14-phenyl substituted evodiamine derivatives as potential antitumor agents with favorable inhibition on Top1. Herein, structural optimization and structure-activity relationship studies (SARs) led us to discovering a highly active evodiamine derivative compound 6t against gastric cancer. Further anti-tumor mechanism studies revealed that compound 6t played as the inhibition of topoisomerase 1 (Top1), effectively induced apoptosis, obviously arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, and significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the compound 6t was low toxicity in vivo and exhibited excellent anti-tumor activity (TGI = 70.12%) in the MGC-803 xenograft models. In summary, compound 6t represents a promising candidate as a potential chemotherapeutic agent against gastric cancer.

COX-2 and STAT3 are two key culprits in the glioma microenvironment. Herein, to inhibit COX-2 and block STAT3 signaling, we disclosed 27 N-anthraniloyl tryptamine compounds based on the combination of melatonin derivatives and N-substituted anthranilic acid derivatives. Among them, NP16 showed the best antiproliferative activity and moderate COX-2 inhibition. Of note, NP16 decreased the level of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3, and blocked the nuclear translocation of STAT3 in GBM cell lines. Moreover, NP16 downregulated the MMP-9 expression of BV2 cells in a co-culture system of BV2 and C6 glioma cells, abrogated the proliferative/invasive/migratory abilities of GBM cells, induced apoptosis by ROS and the Bcl-2-regulated apoptotic pathway, and induced obvious G2/M arrest in glioma cells in vitro. Furthermore, NP16 displayed favorable pharmacokinetic profiles covering long half-life (11.43 ± 0.43 h) and high blood-brain barrier permeability. Finally, NP16 effectively inhibited tumor growth, promoted the survival rate, increased the expression of E-cadherin and reduced overproduction of PGE2, MMP-9, VEGF-A and the level of p-STAT3 in tumor tissue, and improved the anxiety-like behavior in C6 glioma model. All these evidences demonstrated N-anthraniloyl tryptamine derivatives as multifunctional anti-glioma agents with high potency could drain the swamp to beat glioma.
