Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and common primary malignant brain tumor with limited available therapeutic approaches. Despite improvements in therapeutic options for GBM patients, efforts to develop new successful strategies remain as major unmet medical needs. Based on the cytotoxic properties of aporphine compounds, we evaluated the biological effect of 12 compounds obtained through total synthesis of ( ±)-apomorphine hydrochloride (APO) against GBM cells. The compounds 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(1-methylene-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)ethenone (A5) and ( ±)-1-(10,11-dimethoxy-6a,7-dihydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinolin-6(5H)-yl)ethenone (C1) reduced the viability of GBM cells, with 50% inhibitory concentration ranging from 18 to 48 μM in patient-derived GBM cultures. Our data show that APO, A5 or C1 modulate the expression of DNA damage and apoptotic markers, impair 3D-gliomasphere growth and reduce the expression of stemness markers. Potential activity and protein targets of A5, C1 or APO were predicted in silico based on PASS and SEA software. Dopamine receptors (DRD1 and 5), CYP2B6, CYP2C9 and ABCB1, whose transcripts were differentially expressed in the GBM cells, were among the potential A5 or C1 target proteins. Docking analyses (HQSAR and 3D-QSAR) were performed to characterize possible interactions of ABCB1 and CYP2C9 with the compounds. Notably, A5 or C1 treatment, but not temozolomide (TMZ), reduced significantly the levels of extracellular ATP, suggesting ABCB1 negative regulation, which was correlated with stronger cytotoxicity induced by the combination of TMZ with A5 or C1 on GBM cells. Hence, our data reveal a potential therapeutic application of A5 and C1 as cytotoxic agents against GBM cells and predicted molecular networks that can be further exploited to characterize the pharmacological effects of these isoquinoline-containing substances.
