On the grounds of previous encouraging results on the antitumor activity of (1E,3E)-1,4-bis(1-naphthyl)-2,3-dinitro-1,3-butadiene (1), we have designed and synthesized two new molecules [(1E,3E)-1,4-bis(4-carboxy-1-naphthyl)-2,3-dinitro-1,3-butadiene (2) and methyl (2Z,4E)-2-methylsulfanyl-5-(1-naphthyl)-4-nitro-2,4-pentadienoate (3)] characterized by a common naphthylnitrobutadiene array but with different structural properties, with the aim of approaching to some structure-activity correlation. When 2 and 3 were analyzed in vitro for their inhibition of cell proliferation and pro-apoptotic properties, the carboxyderivative 2 did not furnish appreciable results. In contrast, 3 (which contains only one of the two naphthylnitroethenyl moieties of the original compound 1) showed remarkable activities in the range of micromolar concentrations (in six over eight cell lines its IC(50)s are in the 1-3 microM range), with a significant improvement compared to 1. In particular, 3 proved able to bind to DNA, to upregulate p53, to block cells in the G2/M phase of their cycle, and to induce apoptosis. Thus, very interestingly, the performance of 3 with respect to 1 shows that a single 1-(1-naphthyl)-2-nitroethene moiety is able to ensure better (on four out of eight of the cell lines tested) or comparable levels of activity. This result suggests that the 'molecular-simplification strategy' could furnish a useful instrument for future design in our antitumor research.
