  ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the selective effects of 2-isopropyl-3-butyl-8-(4-fluorophenylamino)-3H-imidazo[4,5-g]quinazoline (B-2), a member of a series of quinazolines, on the cell survival and growth of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line A549 in vitro and in vivo. Cytotoxicity assay, hollow fiber assay and cell xenograft model experiment revealed that B-2 showed selective effects on A549 cell survival or growth in a dose-dependent manner. At a dose of 100mg/kg, B-2 showed stronger efficacy on tumor growth inhibition in nude mice than Iressa. Exposure of A549 cells to B-2 caused inhibition of EGFR-dependent ERK-MAPK activation. In addition, inhibition of cell cycle progression and induction of mitochondria-dependent apoptosis might contribute to present the multitarget pathway of non-small cell lung cancer treatment of B-2.

  ABSTRACT: Anti-tumor activity of bakuchiol, an analogue of resveratrol, was investigated on human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line. MTT assay revealed that IC(50) of bakuchiol at 72h was 9.58+/-1.12 micromol/l, much lower than that of resveratrol (33.02+/-2.35 micromol/l). Bakuchiol but not resveratrol elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species. Bakuchiol reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (Psim) of cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, showing a more potent effect than that of resveratrol. More apoptotic cells were induced by bakuchiol, compared with resveratrol. Subsequently, S phase arrest, caspase 9/3 activaton, p53 and Bax up-regulation, as well as Bcl-2 down-regulation were observed in bakuchiol-treated A549 cells. The results point toward that S phase-related cell cycle regulation, more importantly reactive oxygen species-related apoptosis might contribute to the anticancer properties of bakuchiol, which will strongly support the further development of bakuchiol against non-small-cell lung cancer.
