Background: Breast cancer is the most predominant tumor in women. Even though current medications for distinct breast cancer subtypes are available, the non-specificity of chemotherapeutics and chemoresistance imposes major obstacles in breast cancer treatment. Although combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) has been well-reported to have potential anticancer activity, in vivo studies of CA-4 reveal a decrease in its activity. In this respect, a series of CA-4 analogues have been designed, from which one analog [(1-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-N-(2methoxyphenyl)-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide, C{}_{25}H{}_{22}ClFN{}_4O{}_5] showed drastic cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells. Therefore, this research focused on investigating the in vitro molecular mechanism underlying the cytotoxicity of the CA-4 analogue, particularly the MAPK/ERK as well as PI3K/AKT pathways as attractive therapeutic targets in breast cancer. Methods: The cell viability of MCF-7, MDA-MB231, and MDA-MB453 was assessed after treatment with the CA-4 analogue, and apoptosis was analyzed via Annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining. MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT were thoroughly assessed using western blotting. Real-time PCR was used to estimate apoptosis-related markers, including the P53, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) genes. Results: The CA-4 analogue reduced the survival of all cancerous cells in a concentration-dependent manner and induced apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway (39.89 \pm 1.5%, 32.82 \pm 0.6%, and 23.77 \pm 1.1% in MCF-7, MDA-MB231, and MDA-MB453 cells), respectively. The analogue also attenuated the expression of pMEK1/2/t-MEK1/2, p-ERK1/2/t-ERK1/2, p-PI3K/t-PI3K, and p-AKT/t-AKT proteins in all three cancer cell lines in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, the CA-4 analogue upregulated the expression of the P53 gene and dramatically increased the ratio of Bax/Bcl2 genes. Conclusions: The enhanced cytotoxicity can be attributed to substituting the hydroxyl group in CA-4 with chlorine in the meta-position of ring B, substituting the para-methoxy group in CA-4 with fluorine in the analogue, and lastly, introducing an extension to the compound’s structure (ring C). Therefore, CA-4 analogue can attenuate the proliferation of human breast cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and simultaneously suppressing the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways.
