Abstract
The present invention provides a phenothiazine derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a method of preparing a compound selected therefrom and a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound as an active ingredient. The phenothiazine derivative according to the present invention has an effect of inhibiting calmodulin (CaM; calcium-modulated protein) and thus helps cell death by maintaining the intracellular level of calcium in lung cancer cells at high concentration. Accordingly, the phenothiazine derivative according to the present invention can be usefully used to prevent or treat malignant tumors such as lung cancer.

Evaluation of Physiological Activity
(264) Calcium Imaging (Ca.sup.2+ Imaging)
(265) Calcium imaging was conducted as follows in order to measure the change in the calcium level in lung cancer cells (glioblastoma cells) by TFP (trifluoperazine) and the phenothiazine derivative represented by Chemical Formula 1 according to the present invention. First, after placing a polylysine (PDL)-coated coverslip on a 24-well plate, 210.sup.4 U87MG cells detached by treating with trypsin were seeded thereupon. On the next day, the coverslip was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour in a Fura-2 solution (5 M Fura-2 AM, 1 M pluronic acid in HEPES buffer, pH 7.4) and washed twice with a HEPES buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl.sub.2, 1 mM MgCl.sub.2, 22 mM sucrose, 10 mM glucose, pH 7.4). The washed coverslip was mounted in a bath adapter (bath adapter) and placed under a calcium imaging microscope (Olympus IX71). After connecting a bath line to the bath adapter, the change in the calcium level of the cells was recorded for 300 seconds (4-second intervals; 340 nm, 380 nm, 340/380 nm ratio) by running a calcium imaging program (Imaging Workbench 6.0, Indec Inc.). After flowing a HEPES buffer for 50 seconds for setting of the baseline, a TFP (trifluoperazine) solution or solution of the phenothiazine derivative represented by Chemical Formula 1 (100 M in HEPES buffer) were flown as test solutions for 100 seconds and then a HEPES buffer was flown again for 150 seconds. All the test solutions were prepared by diluting a 50 mM stock solution to 100 M with a HEPES buffer. For analysis of the change of intracellular calcium level by the phenothiazine derivative represented by Chemical Formula 1, data files were read using a calcium imaging analysis program (Clampfit 9.2, Axon Inc.) and only the 340/380 ratio values were taken. The values recorded for the first 50 seconds were set to 0 and graphs were rearranged. Then, the average reactivity to the phenothiazine derivative represented by Chemical Formula 1 for 200 seconds was calculated relative to the average reactivity to TFP (trifluoperazine) for 200 seconds as 100%.
(266) FIG. 1 shows the calcium imaging experiment result for the phenothiazine derivative represented by Chemical Formula 1.
