Summary

In the present study, the antitumoral properties of a series of 7-chloroquinoline-1,2,3-triazoyl-carboxamides (QTCA) were investigated by analyzing their cytotoxic activities against human bladder cells (5637; grade II carcinoma). In addition, their effects on cell viability, cell cycle arrest mechanisms, apoptosis induction, in silico molecular docking, and detection of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins were evaluated. The cytotoxicity assay identified major dose- and time-dependent cytotoxic effects in 5637 cells after they were exposed to treatment with QTCA, only minimal effects were observed on normal cells. A live/dead assay confirmed that significant cell death, arrest in the G0/G1 phase and apoptosis were associated with treatment by 1-(7-Chloroquinolin-4-yl)-5-methyl-N-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide (QTCA-1) and 1-(7-Chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide (QTCA-4). The in silico results indicated that these compounds acted through different mechanisms for the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Western blotting confirmed the binding of the QTCAs to pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins. In conclusion, QTCA-1 and QTCA-4 are promising candidates for inducing cytotoxicity, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells.
