Designed, synthesized a series of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity. Fluorine containing compounds, (2-fluorophenyl)(4-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)piperazin-1-yl)methanone (7 e),(4-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)piperazin-1-yl)(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanone (7 h) and (3-fluorophenyl) (4-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)piperazin-1-yl)methanone (7 i) were found to have an effective cytotoxic profile against HepG2, HeLa and MDA-MB-231. Compounds 7 h (IC 50 = 5.8 μM) and 7 i (IC 50 = 3.5 μM) were found potent when compared with control Paclitaxel (IC 50 = 2.8 μM), against HeLa. Compound 7 h also found to be potent against HepG2 (IC 50 = 2.0 μM) and MDAMB-231(IC 50 = 6.9 μM) respectively, when compared with Paclitaxel (HepG2, IC 50 = 0.56 μM; MDAMB-231, IC 50 = 1.9 μM). Compound 7 e also found to be potent against HepG2 (IC 50 = 9.8 μM) cell lines. Synthesized piperazine linked imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives (7 i, IC 50 = 3.5 μM) and (7 h, IC 50 = 5.8 μM) showed 1.74 fold, 1.12 fold increase in antiproliferative activity than reported homopiperazine linked imidazo [1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives (4-Fluorophenyl)(4-(2-(4fluorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)methanone(10 f, IC 50 = 6.12 μM) and (4-(2-(4-Fluorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)(3methoxyphenyl)methanone (12, IC 50 = 6.54 μM) against Hela cell lines. Molecular docking studies showed that designed compounds occupy at the active site of both colchicine and human estrogen receptor which demonstrated that the designed compounds were able to bind with multiple targets, the biological activity of these compounds hold promise to find application in considering for treatment protocol.[a] M.

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.
