A series of 18 new imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives was synthesized. Their in vitro antiproliferative activities against A375P human melanoma cell line and NCI-60 cell line panel were tested. Compounds 15, 16, 18, 22, 26-28, and 31 showed superior potency against A375P to sorafenib. In addition, compounds 26 and 27 showed selectivity toward melanoma cell lines than for other cancer types. Both compounds exerted sub-micromolar IC50 values over 7 (including A375P) and 6 melanoma cell lines, respectively. in silico studies are also reported. ADME profiling, in silico toxicity, drug-likeness, and drug-score data of compounds 26 and 27 are promising. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
