Title: Bis-isatin hydrazones with novel linkers: Synthesis and biological evaluation as cytotoxic agents.
Authors: Ibrahim HS, Abou-Seri SM, Ismail NS, Elaasser MM, Aly MH, Abdel-Aziz HA.
Abstract: Many bis-isatins and isatins with hydrazide extension were reported to have a potential anti-proliferative effects against different cancer cell lines and cancer targets. In this study, four series of bis-isatins with hydrazide linkers were synthesized. These compounds were investigated for their antitumor activity by assessing their cytotoxic potency against HepG2, MCF-7 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. Compound 21c possessed significant cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 (IC50 = 1.84 μM) and HCT-116 (IC50 = 3.31 μM) that surpasses the activity of doxorubicin against both cell lines (MCF-7; IC50 = 2.57 μM and HCT-116; IC50 = 3.70 μM). Cell cycle analysis and annexin V-FITC staining of MCF-7 cells treated with 21c suggested that the cytotoxic effect of the compound could be attributed to its pro-apoptotic activity.
