A series of novel phenylurea containing 2‐benzoylindan‐1‐one derivatives 3a – 3j were synthesized from the reaction of phenylurea‐substituted acetophenones 1a – 1j with phthalaldehyde 2 under mild reaction conditions in good yields. All synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The obtained compounds (3a – 3j) were evaluated for anticancer activity against HeLa and C6 cell
deaths today. Serious research for ideal chemotherapy continues today. In this context, newly synthesized molecules have an essential role in cancer treatment research. The effects of 5 diaryl ureaderivatives synthesized within the scope of this study on the HT-29 colon cancer cell line were investigated for the first time in the literature by in-silico and in-vitro methods. Among the five compounds
structures were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HR-MS spectroscopic methods. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their inhibitoryactivity against monoamine oxidase enzymes (MAO-A and MAO-B). Compounds 2a, 2k, 4a and 4i showed significant inhibitoryactivity against MAO-A, with IC50 value in the range of 0.084–0.207 µM compared to reference drug moclobemide (IC50 value = 6.061 µM)
Cancer is a complex disease that requires multidisciplinary treatment. One of the most common cancers is breast cancer, and these cancers are usually estrogen receptor-positive. Today, chemotherapy, as well as surgery, has an important place in the treatment of cancer. For this reason, serious research is carried out on the search for newchemotherapeutic drugs. Some of the drugs currently used in
