Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel indanone containing spiroisoxazoline derivatives with selective COX-2 inhibition as anticancer agents
the compounds was evaluated by MTT assay. In addition, induction of apoptosis, and expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase-3 mRNA in MCF-7 cells were evaluated following exposure to compound 9f. The docking calculations and molecular dynamics simulation were performed to study the most probable modes of interactions of compound 9f upon binding to COX-2 enzyme. Results The docking results showed that
