✦ Synopsis
a b s t r a c t 2-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde (HCA) and curcumin have been reported to have antitumor effects against various human tumor cells in vitro and in vivo by generation of ROS. Aldehyde-free HCA analogs were synthesized based on the structure of curcumin, which we have called 2-hydroxycurcuminoids. The hydroxyl group of curcuminoids enhances the ability to generate ROS. 2-Hydroxycurcuminoid (HCC-7) strongly inhibited the growth of SW620 colon tumor cells with a GI 50 value of 7 lM, while the parent compounds, HCA and curcumin, displayed GI 50 values of 12 and 30 lM, respectively. HCC-7 was found to induce apoptosis through the reactive oxygen species-mitochondria pathway and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase.
