Synthesis, Characterization and Cytotoxic Effect of Some New Thiazolyl Hydrazone Derivatives of 1-Indanone

Abstract

In the present study, a series of twelve thiazolyl hydrazone derivatives of 1-indanone was synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Visible, NMR, IR and Mass Spectrometry. All the synthesized target compounds were subjected to MTT assay for cytotoxicity screening and evaluation of their anti-cancer activity on various cell lines of human cancer including glioblastoma (SNB-19), prostate cancer (PC-3), Lung cancer (NCI-H460), human ovarian carcinoma (SK-OV-3 and IGROV-1), human leukemia (K-562) and human colon cancer(HCT116).Three synthesized compounds showed promising anti-cancer activity against the colon cancer cell HCT 116 cells with IC50 ranging from 1.25and#177;0.02 to 5.04and#177;0.2 and#181;M. On the other hand all the compounds didn’t show cytotoxic activity against other forms of human cancer cells.
