According to our earlier data, calix[4]arene chalcone amides modulate Ca ions exchange in the myometrium mitochondria and the level of inner membrane polarization that can potentially affect cell survival. To test this hypothesis, we studied the effect of calix[4]arene with 4 chalcone amide groups on mitochondria membrane polarization and viability of 4T1 mouse breast adenocarcinoma cells, a surrogate model of human triple-negative breast cancer, and on its highly malignant subline overexpressing the adaptor protein Ruk/CIN85. Mitochondria membrane potential was measured by flow cytometry, and cell viability was assessed using Trypan blue dye exclusion. It was shown that mitochondrial membranes of control (Mock) cells had a higher polarization level (67.80 ± 8.82 r.u., n = 5) compared to 4T1 cells with up-regulation of Ruk/CIN85 (RukUp cells) (25.42 ± 2.58 r.u., n = 4). Upon incubation of cells with 1 μM calix[4]arene C-1011, the CCCP-sensitive component of mitochondrial membranes polarization decreased (by almost 50%) in 4T1 Mock cells and did not change in RukUp cells compared with the control. It was demonstrated that 1 μM calix[4]arene C-1011 suppressed the viability of 4T1 Mock cells by 45%, but did not affect RukUp cells considerably. It was suggested that calix[4]arene chalcone amide С-1011 decreased mouse breast adenocarcinoma 4T1 cell viability at least by affecting mitochondrial membrane polarization.The data obtained indicate the prospects of further studies of calix[4]arene chalcone amide as a potential anticancer drug candidate.
