Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 2-heteroarylimino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones as potential anti-tumor agents
摘要:
A series of 35 heteroarylimino-1,3-thiazolidinones with three sites of functionalization were synthesized and their antiproliferative properties were studied. The in vitro screening by MTT assay was performed against five cancer cell lines (human colon cancer cell lines HT29, HCT116 and SW620 and breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231). It was observed that N3-substituted thiazolidinones had moderate activities whereas 5-benzylidene thiazolidinones showed promising activities. To investigate the mechanism of action, detailed biological studies of six selected compounds (those presenting the lower mitotic index) were carried out on the human colon cancer HT29 cell line. Cell cycle assay revealed that those compounds induced cell accumulation in G2/M and in subG0/G1 phases of cell cycle. Moreover, dissipation of mitochondria membrane potential was observed as well as redox changes in treated cells. (C) 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
The preparation of new N-substituted 2-arylimino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones from 5-substituted-3-aminothiophenes using an easy three-step procedure is described. 5-substituted 3-aminothiophenes - isothiocyanates - thioureas - N-substituted 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones
A series of 5-aryl-2-(3-thienylamino)-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 3a-m were synthesized in good yields in two steps starting from thiophen-3-isothiocyanates. Those compounds as well as the thiosemicarbazide intermediates 2a-m were screened for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of six cancer cell lines. Among them, two 5-aryl-2-(3-thienylamino)-1,3,4-thiadiazoles (3f and 3i) have shown very interesting results with IC50 < 10 mu M on three cell lines. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
