The novel aroylthiourea analogue of podophyllotoxin HY ‐1 (4β‐[benzoyl‐thioureido]‐4‐deoxypodophyllotoxin) was synthesized in our laboratory with the aim of developing multitargeted DNA topoisomerase II inhibitors. The compound showed significant antiproliferative effects on seven cancer cell lines and induced G 2 /M phase arrest in HCT 116 cells. Moreover, HY ‐1 showed a potent inhibitory effect on topoisomerase II ‐mediated kinetoplast DNA decatenation in a dose‐dependent manner. Our results showed that cdc2 phosphorylation and decreased cdc2 kinase acitivity through the ATR ‐Chk1‐Cdc25C and Weel pathways were the central mechanisms for G 2 /M phase arrest in human colon cancer cells.
