Synthesis, anticancer activity and mitochondrial mediated apoptosis inducing ability of 2,5-diaryloxadiazole–pyrrolobenzodiazepine conjugates
摘要:
A series of 2,5-diaryloxadiazole linked pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine conjugates have been prepared and evaluated for their anticancer activity. These conjugates have shown promising activity with GI(50) values ranging from < 0.1 to 0.29 mu M. It is observed that some of these conjugates particularly 4a, 4d, 4i and 4l exhibit significant anticancer activity. Some detailed biological assays relating to the cell cycle aspects associated to Bax and caspases have been examined with a view to understand the mechanism of action of these conjugates.
