A library of twelve hybrid molecules containing Indole-Thiazolidinedione-Triazole moieties were synthesized by following a series of N-benzylation, Knoevenagel condensation and click chemistry reactions. The structure of novel molecules confirmed by spectral analysis data of 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and LC-MS. All the compounds screened for their anticancer activity against the human liver cancer HePG-2, human colorectal cancer HCT-116, human prostate cancer PC-3, and human breast cancer MCF7 cell lines. MTT assay protocol was em-ployed and calculated IC 50 value of all compounds. Doxorubicin was used as standard drug. m-acetylphenyl substituted compound 9 i specified outstanding activity against four cell lines compared to doxorubicin. The p-acetylphenyl and p-nitrophenyl substituted compounds showed moderate activity against the same. Molecular docking studies were performed on EGFR, CDK2 and sorcin using Autodock Vina of PyRx tool. The binding energies and interactions acquired from docking results of compounds supported the investigational data.
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.
