Cadmium (Cd) is a potent toxic heavy metal, some studies showed that Cd-induced apoptosis is through ER stress pathway. Compounds of pyrrolo[2,1–c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD)-3,11-diones were discovered as potent neuroprotective agents against Cd-induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells for the first time. In this study, twenty-six PBD-3,11-dione derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their neuroprotective activity against Cd-induced toxicity by CCK-8 assay. Their preliminary SARs studies indicated that various substituents were tolerated on the benzene ring, and alkyl heterocycles groups at the N10-position of the PBD-3,11-dione scaffold were important for the activities. Among them, compound13cexhibited the best activity (cell viability = 68.6%, 25 μM). Furthermore, we found that the compound13ccould inhibit cadmium-induced cell apoptosis with the downregulation of the ER stress markers GRP78, CHOP, cleaved-caspase12 and cleaved-caspase3 through western blotting. The results ofin silicoevaluation of ADME/T properties showed that13cexhibited medium BBB penetration level and promising toxicity profiles. These results proved the potential of13cas a promising lead compound against Cd-induced neurotoxicity.
