As a starting point for creating new inhibitor scaffolds, a molecular hybridization approach was applied
in designing the novel molecules using coumarin-thiazole hybrids as mPGES-1 enzyme inhibitors.
Thus, in present work, the novel thiazolo coumarin derivatives (8-35) were synthesized and characterized
by 1H NMR, IR and ESI-MS spectra. All the synthesized molecules (8-35) were also investigated for
their anticancer activity on MCF-7 (breast cancer), caco-2 (colon cancer), HeLa (Cervix cancer) cell
lines. Studies revealed that compounds (8-14) and (22-28) showed inhibition (IC50) at different
concentrations of 12.5, 50, 100 μg/mL and more than 100 μg/mL.
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.
