Doxorubicin (DOX) is a prevalent anticancer agent; however, it is unfortunately characterized by high cardiotoxicity, myelosuppression, and multiple other side effects. To overcome DOX limitations, two novel pyridoxine-derived doxorubicin derivatives were synthesized (DOX-1 and DOX-2). In the present study, their antitumor activity and mechanism of action were investigated. Of these two compounds, DOX-2, in which the pyridoxine fragment is attached to the doxorubicin molecule via a C3 linker, revealed higher selectivity against specific cancer cell types compared to doxorubicin and a promising safety profile for conditionally normal cells. However, the compound with a C1 linker (DOX-1) was not characterized by selectivity of antitumor action. It was revealed that DOX-2 obstructs cell cycle progression, induces apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway without the development of necrosis, and showcases antioxidant capabilities, underlining its cell-regulatory roles. In contrast to doxorubicin's DNA-centric mechanism, DOX-2 does not interact with nuclear DNA. Given these findings, DOX-2 presents a new promising direction in cancer therapeutics, which is deserving of further in vivo exploration.
