Uses of chalcone acetophenone to synthesis heterocyclic compounds with cytotoxic and c-Met kinase activities

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The aim of present study was the uses of a series of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (chalcones), in the synthesis of pyridine, pyran, thiophene, thiazole, together with their uses in heterocyclic synthesis. The work has resulted in the synthesis of a variety of 2,5-dihydropyridine, hydrazide-hydrazone, thiophene derivatives, coumarin, pyran and thiazolo[4,5-d]thiazole derivatives. The antitumor activities of the newly synthesized products were carried out against three cancer cell lines namely MCF-7, NCI-H460 and SF-268 and normal human cell line WI38. In addition, the inhibitions of most of the synthesized compounds against c-Met kinase were studied and results showed that many compounds were of high inhibitions, and these are considered as promising anticancer agents. The results obtained encouraged further work in the future.

Syntheses of heterocyclic derivatives as potential cytotoxic compounds evaluated toward hepatocellular and cervical carcinoma cell lines

“…In addition, the reaction of either 5a or 5b with elemental sulfur in absolute ethanol containing triethylamine afforded the thiophene derivatives 10a and 10b, respectively (Scheme 1). Recently our research group mentioned some reactions concerning with the Gewald's thiophene synthesis [23][24][25].…”

Anti-proliferative activities of 4H-pyran derivatives synthesized from benzoylacetone

“…For that reason we studied the effect of compound 7k toward A549 cell line which was selected for studying the morphological changes. There are many reports concerned with morphological changes of other cell lines [38,39]. To understand the ability of compound 7k in apoptosis induction, various qualitative (morphological) and quantitative assays were performed on the A549 lung cancer cell line.…”

Multicomponent reactions of cyanoacetanilide derivatives: Synthesis of coumarin and quinoline derivative and evaluations of their cytotoxicity

“…The combination of thiophene with other heterocyclic rings showed wide range of biological activities [23]. Recently, our research group was involved through comprehensive program involving the use of cyclohexan-1,3-dione in many heterocyclic transformations [24][25][26][27]. Many of these reactions were multi-component reactions leading to the formation of fused pyran and pyridine derivatives [28].…”
