Structural and biological investigation of ferrocene-substituted 3-methylidene-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones

Abstract: The Knoevenagel condensation of 1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one with ferrocene carboxaldehyde afforded an approximate 2:1 mixture of the geometrical isomers (E)- and (Z)-3-ferrocenylmethylidene-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one respectively in an overall 67% yield; the air and solution-stable isomers were readily separated by preparative thin layer chromatography and their structures were unequivocally elucidated in solution, by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, and in the solid phase, by X-ray crystallography; both isomers of displ… Show more

“…Palladacycles 3a-d is cytotoxic and inhibits cathepsin B with IC 50 values in the low µM range [52][53][54]. This study are aiming to address some complexes can be used as biological probes for proteins and biomolecules, e.g.…”

“…However, complexes of palladacycles 4a-d and 5a-d displays good in vitro activity, with an IC 50 of 4.3 µM. Having established 5a-d as a "hit" from this primary screen, we have evaluated it in other immortal cell lines namely B16 (Murine Melanoma) and Vero (African Green Monkey Kidney Epithelia) [52][53][54]. Preliminary data show 3a-d to have submicromolar activity (Figures 1-3).…”

“…[34] Several other ferrocene conjugates have been seen to show anticancer activity. [35,36] Our use of the ferrocenyl moiety to design anticancer agents is based on its excellent stability in biological fluids, its redox activity and lipophilicity. [33] Although ferrocene is nontoxic, its activation leads to the generation of species that can damage cancer cells.…”
