ABSTRACT
Background: Undoubtedly, cancer is regarded as a major concern for researchers alongside the whole humanity for its high
mortality rates. At this moment, there must be some researchers working hard to design, synthesize, and biologically investigate
the eects of some potential candidates to ght back cancer.
Materials and methods: In previous unpublished work, the authors successfully designed, synthesized, characterized a
potential two spebrutinib analogs. Consequently, these analogs were evaluated with the employment of MCF-7, HCT116,
and MDCK cell lines.
Results: In respect to the spebrutinib standard, one of these analogs has superior activity against MCF-7 cell line (IC50; 10.744
µg/mL against 13.566 µg/mL for spebrutinib) and an enhanced toxicity prole on madin-darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell
line (IC50; 8.653 mg/mL against 4.011 mg/mL for spebrutinib).
Conclusion: The two compounds showed good activity against breast and colon cell lines and enhanced toxicity prole against
normal kidney cell line in respect to spebrutinib standard.

INTRODUCTION
Cancer is a major concern of researchers as it is the second
leading cause of deaths worldwide.1 Cancer-related
mortality has increased by almost (40%) in the past 40 years,
although death rates from communicable diseases have
improved worldwide as a result of the medical improvements.
In the next 15 years, a further 60% rise is expected, with about
13 million people estimated to die of cancer in 2030.2
Hence, there is a compelling need to develop new drugs
to treat this life-threatening disease. Cancer treatment using
conventional chemotherapy is associated with several side
eects.3 In recent years, the development of small molecules
such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (imatinib, spebrutinib,
gefitinib, sunitinib, semaxinib, etc.,) in the treatment of
cancer helped the scientists in the understanding of molecular

mechanisms of this disease.4 Targeting en zymes involved i n the
signal transduction pathways of protein kinases that regulates
cellular growth and multiplication is one of the approaches in
developing the new anticancer drugs.5,6
Consequently, scientists have recognized tyrosine kinases
as a potential target to suppress or even cure breast cancers.7
Consequently, many tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have
been developed and tested.8-10 However, the o-target serious
side eects of these TKIs are a major obstacle that has been
encountered.11-14
For some prestigious journal publishers, biological investigation
of newly synthesized potential anticancer candidates is a
must.15 In this work, the authors aimed to biologically evaluate
a previously synthesized novel TKI with superior activity
and reduced toxicity. These compounds were successfully
designed, synthesized, and characterized.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Materials
The materials used in this work are tabulated in Table 1.
Cell lines
The following types of cell lines were used in this study:
MCF-7 Breast cancer
HCT116 colorectal cancer cells
MDCK kidney normal cells.
Cell lines were obtained kindly from the international cell
line collection of Dr. Hamid N. Obied (M.B.CH.B., MSc, PhD
Pharmacology, Lecturer and researcher in anticancer at the
department of clinical pharmacology, College of Medicine,
University of Babylon, and the head of cancer cell research
unit in Al-Fadhil foundation for educational services, training
and development – branch of Babylon).
Instruments
The instruments used in this work are listed in Table 2.
Methods:
Cell lines preparation:
The cell lines were cultured in medium 1640 (RPMI-1640,
Gibco-BRL), with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum
(FBS) (Gibco). Cell lines were allocated in Celltreat® 96 well
cell culture plates and incubated to grew at 37°C. The time of
cell culture was optimized from 72 hours to be 24 hours and the
steps involved in the cell line part of this work are listed below:
MTT stock solution preparation:
A 25-mg was accurately weighed and transferred into a suitable
ask. Then a 5-mL of DMSO was added and the MTT was
completely dissolved. The 5-mL of 5mg/mL was ltered,
into 12.mL centrifuge tube, with 0.22µm sterile lters and
the tube was foiled with aluminum sheet as the MTT solution
is light sensitive. This solution was kept in the fridge for the
preparation of a working solution.
MTT working solution preparation:
According to the protocols, the working concentrations of MTT
is 0.5mg/ml. This is 10% v/v of the stock solution. For a nal
volume of 12 ml of cell-medium with 10% MTT, the following
dilutions were performed. A 10.600 ml of cell medium was
accurately measured and allocated into a suitable ask. Then
a 2.400 ml of MTT stock solution was added to the medium
and adequately homogenized. The cell-medium with 10%
MTT was ready to be utilized for cell-lines and incubation
of 3hrs period.
Preparation of working concentrations from each test
chemical for the cell-lines:
A suitable amount of each chemical was dissolved in DMSO
to get a stock solution with a concentration of 5mg/mL for
each chemical and standard. After several trials on cell-line,
the concentration was optimized for a 50µg/mL as the higher
concentration from witch a serial dilution was performed.
For each standard and synthesized chemical, a 990-µl of the
medium was accurately measured and a 10-µL from the 5mg/
ml was added and homogenized to get a nal concentration
of 50 µg/ml and a nal concentration of 1% for the DMSO.
Serial dilution was performed for each to get the following
concentrations (50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125, and 1.5625) µg/mL.
Stock solution preparation:
An accurately-weighed amount of each synthesized chemical
compounds was dissolved in pure DMSO to get a concentration
of 5mg/mL. After complete dissolution, the solutions were
ltered through a 0.2 µm sterile lter. A 10 µL of the above
ltrate was fur ther diluted with 990 µL of RPMI.1640 Mediu m
to get a nal concentration of 50 µg/mL. A serial dilution was
prepared from the above concentration to get (50, 25, 12.5,
6.25, and 3.125) µg/mL.
Application of the chemicals on the cell-lines:
The above serial dilution solutions were added in a 200 µl
portions for each well in triplicates and incubated for 24hours.
After the incubation period, the plates were visualized with

DISCUSSION
Results of the biological eect of the synthesized compounds
on the cancerous and normal cell-lines:
The time of incubation was optimized to 48 hours instead
of 72 hours and eventually 24 hours’ incubation period was
selected. The concentrations of the synthesized chemicals that
were applied to the cells were optim ized though. Starting with
the highest concentration of 1 mg/L and reaching the optimized
high concentration of 50 µg/mL.
Thereafter, the serial dilution performed from the 50 µg/mL was
mathematically accepted to give good representative curves.
The sketched curves possess good correlation coecients.
Furthermore, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50)
values were mostly in the middle of the curves to exclude any
proposed drift in the curves if any. The IC50 is a measure of
the eectiveness of the synthesized chemical compound in
inhibiting cell growth.
The cell lines were meaningfully chosen and accurately
selected. For colorectal cell lines, excluding skin cancers,
colorectal cancer is classied as third cancer in occurrence in
US for both sexes. In the same context, in the United States,
the American Cancer Society has proposed the number of the
cases for colorectal cancer for 2019 as (44,180) new cases of
rectal cancer and (101,420) new cases of colon cancer [16].
Regarding breast cancer cell line, excluding skin cancers,
breast cancer is classied as rst cancer in occurrence in the
US for American women. In terms of numbers, in the United
States, the American Cancer Society has estimated the number
of the cases for the breast cancer for 2019 as (268,600) new
cases of invasive breast cancer and (62,930) new cases of non-
invasive breast cancer.17
Notably, to evaluate the selectivity of the newly synthesized
compounds toward the cancer cells, it is essential to test their
toxicity on normal (non-cancerous) cells.18-20 A dramatic
number of authors utilized the MDCK cell line for cell viability
studies.21-29 According to this fact besides their availability,
the MDCK cell lines were selected.

Table 4 shows the net results of this work as it reveals the
biological eects of the chemically synthesized compounds on
the cancerous and normal cells. This brief comparison gives
valuable information. To critically analyze the observed data,
it will be categorized for each compound and then for each
cell as below:
• For the spebrutinib standard, it shows close values of IC50
for both HCT116 and MCF-7 cell lines with priority for
the HCT116 cells. In the same context of spebrutinib, the
IC50 for MDCK cells shows approximately 300-fold the
concentration required for the activity against both HCT116
and MCF-7 cell lines. This reveals an excellent selectivity
toward the cancerous cells rather than the normal non-
cancerous cells.
• For compound 2a, the IC50 value for the HCT116 cells is
3-fold its value for MCF-7 cells. In other words, compound
2a has superior activity on MCF-7 cells rather than for
the HCT116 cells. Moreover, the IC50 of compound 2a
for MDCK shows approximately 250-fold and 800-fold
of the concentration required for the activity against the
HCT116 and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. This indicates
an excellent selectivity toward the cancerous cells rather
than the normal non-cancerous cells with better selectivity
toward the MCF-7 cell line.
• For compound 2b, the IC50 value for the HCT116 cells is
1.3-fold its value for MCF-7 cells. Accordingly, compound
2b has better activity on MCF-7 cells rather than for the
HCT116 cells. Moreover, the IC50 of compound 2b for
MDCK shows approximately 67-fold and 89-fold of the
concentration requi red for the ac tivity agains t the HCT116
and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. This indicates an
acceptable selectivity margin toward the cancerous cells
rather than the normal non-cancerous cells with better
selectivity toward the MCF-7 cell line.
According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA),
with respect to the “Nonclinical Evaluation for Anticancer
Pharmaceuticals” The EMA concludes the following
statement “A common approach for many small molecules
is to set a start dose at 1/10 the Severely Toxic Dose in 10%
of the animals (STD 10) in rodents.30 If the non-rodent is
the most appropriate species, then 1/6 the Highest Non-
Severely Toxic Dose (HNSTD) is considered an appropriate
starting dose. The HNSTD is dened as the highest dose
level that does not produce evidence of lethality, life-
threatening toxicities or irreversible ndings”.30 In all the
previously discussed ndings the proposed therapeutic
doses are much lower than the “one-tenth” portion of
the STD 10. Accordingly, the therapeutic doses can be
reduced to be equal or below the micromolar concentrations
recommended by many types of research.31-33
• For HCT116 cell line, the IC50 for the spebrutinib standard
has the lowest value, followed by compound 2b and lastly
compound 2a. Where as, compound 2b has twice the IC50
value in respect to spebrutinib standard, compound 2a has
trice the IC50 value for the standard.
• For the MCF-7 cell line, it has the most interesting ndings.
Compound 2a has the lowest IC50 value, which indicates
better cytotoxic activity than the spebrutinib standard.
Whereas, spebrutinib has the middle value for IC50 (1.25
times of that of compound 2a). Finally, compound 2b has
the highest IC50 value.
• For the MDCK cell line, the IC50 values have a piece
of appreciated information. For example, compound 2b
has the lowest IC50 value which means the most toxic in
respect to compounds 2a and standard. On the other hand,
the IC50 for compound 2a has approximately 2-times the
IC50 value of that of spebrutinib standard. To sum up,
compound 2a has better activity and lower toxicity than
the spebrutinib standard.
CONCLUSIONS
In this stu dy, two of the sy nthesized compounds were found to
have biological activity. The biological eects are concluded
for compound 2a which has approximately 2-times the IC50
value of that of spebrutinib, hence compound 2a has the lowest
IC50 value, which indicates better cytotoxic activity than the
spebrutinib standard. Whereas, spebrutinib has the middle
value for IC50 (1.25 times of that of compound 2a).
