Objective:To explore anti-cancer activities of a novel bis-aryl urea compound(code name:N69B)using non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. Methods:The non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were choosed and treated by N69B at different concentrations. The cell proliferation was quantified by CCK-8 method;the cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry;the apoptosis rate were detected by Annexin V/PI double staining;and the relative expression of Cleaved caspase-3,8,9 was measured by the Western blot. Results:Compared with the DMSO control group,N69B inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in manners that are time-and dose-dependent(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Twenty-four hours after the treatment with N69B at 0.5,1.0 and 1.5 μM,respectively,the number of cells in G2 phase significantly increased(P < 0.01);the apoptosis rate increased in different degrees;Cleaved caspase-3,8,9 expression showed a dose-dependent elevation. Conclusion:N69B inhibits the proliferation of A549 cells,possibly through cell cycle arrest in G2-M phase and apoptosis induced by caspase activation.
