The synthesis and antitumor activity screening of novel 3-[2-(3,5-diaryl-4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl)-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-ylidene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-ones 1-23 and 3-(3,5-diarylpyrazol-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-ones 24-39 are performed. In vitro anticancer activity of the synthesized compounds was tested by the National Cancer Institute. Most of them displayed anticancer activity on leukemia, melanoma, lung, colon, CNS, ovarian, renal, prostate, and breast cancers cell lines. The structure-activity relationship is discussed. The most effective anticancer compound 10 was found to be active with mean GI₅₀ and TGI values of 0.071 μM and 0.76 μM, respectively. It demonstrated the highest antiproliferative influence on the non-small-cell lung cancer cell line HOP-92 (GI₅₀ < 0.01 μM), colon cancer line HCT-116 (GI₅₀ = 0.018 μM), CNS cancer cell line SNB-75 (GI₅₀ = 0.0159 μM), ovarian cancer cell line NCI/ADR-RES (GI₅₀ = 0.0169 μM), and renal cancer cell line RXF 393 (GI₅₀ = 0.0197 μM).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
