Abstract: Anticancer activity studies of 2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-5-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (FABT), as one of the most promising derivatives from the N-substituted 2-amino-5-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole set, have been continued. The tested compound inhibited proliferation of tumor cells derived from cancers of nervous system (medulloblastoma/rhabdosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and glioma) and peripheral cancers including colon adenocarcinoma and lung carcinoma. The anticancer effect of FABT was attributed to decreased cell division and inhibited cell migration. Furthermore, in anticancer concentrations it exerted a trophic effect in neuronal cell culture and had no influence on viability of normal cells including astrocytes, hepatocytes, and skin fibroblasts. Moreover, a prominent neuroprotective activity of FABT was observed in the neuronal cultures exposed to neurotoxic agents like serum deprivation and glutamate. To determine probability of tautomeric transition and indicate potential sites of interactions of FABT molecule with the receptor, quantum-chemical calculations with the ab initio Hartree-Fock model were made.
