Abstract

​Cervical cancer continues to be a threat to female health globally. In the present study, the potential anticancer activity of 2‑[2‑hydroxyl‑1‑(4‑methoxy phenyl) ethyl]‑3‑(4‑benzyloxy phenyl) isoindolin‑1‑one (CDS‑1548), was evaluated in HeLa cells. CDS‑1548 is an organic small‑molecule compound characterized by two chiral centers, with the nuclear parent 1H‑isoindolin‑1‑one. CDS‑1548 administration significantly elevated the transcriptional activity of p53 and its downstream target genes in a dose‑dependent manner. Additionally, CDS‑1548 treatment increased the expression levels of p53 and mouse double minute 2 homolog, as well as inducing apoptosis in HeLa cells. Furthermore, CDS‑1548 treatment downregulated the expression of B‑cell lymphoma 2, upregulated Bcl‑2 homologous antagonist killer, promoted the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytoplasm, and activated the production of caspase 3 and 9. Collectively, these results suggested that CDS‑1548 inhibited HeLa cell proliferation by promoting G2/M cell cycle phase arrest and inducting of mitochondria‑mediated apoptosis.
