The development of smart anti-cancer drugs that can selectively kill cancer cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissues/cells unharmed is of paramount importance for safe and effective cancer therapy. We report a novel class of bifunctional compounds based on diarylidenylpiperidone (DAP) conjugated with an N-hydroxypyrroline (NOH, a nitroxide precursor) group. We hypothesized that the DAP would have cytotoxic (anti-cancer) activity, while the NOH moiety would function as a tissue-specific modulator (anti-oxidant) of cytotoxicity. The study used four DAPs, namely H-4073 and H-4318 without NOH and HO-3867 and HO-4200 with NOH substitution. The goal of the study was to evaluate the ‘proof-of-concept’ anticancer-versus-antioxidant efficacy of the DAPs using a number of cancerous (breast, colon, head and neck, liver, lung, ovarian, and prostate cancer) and noncancerous (smooth muscle, aortic endothelial, and ovarian surface epithelial cells) human cell lines. Cytotoxicity was determined using an MTT-based cell viability assay. All four compounds induced significant loss of cell viability in cancer cells, while HO-3867 and HO-4200 showed significantly less cytotoxicity in noncancerous cells. EPR measurements showed a metabolic conversion of the N-hydroxylamine function to nitroxide with significantly higher levels of the metabolite and superoxide radical-scavenging (antioxidant) activity in noncancerous cells when compared to cancer cells. Western-blot analysis showed that the DAP-induced growth arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells were mediated by inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation at Tyr705 and Ser727 residues and induction of apoptotic markers of cleaved caspase-3 and PARP. The results suggest that the antioxidant-conjugated DAPs will be useful as a safe and effective anticancer agent for cancer therapy.
