The present invention is directed to optionally substituted 4-substituted-1-(arylmethylidene)thiosemicarbazide, 4-substituted-1-(arylcarbonyl)thiosemicarbazide and analogs thereof, represented by the Formulae (I) and (II), wherein A1, A2, Q and R1-R3 are defined herein. The present invention also relates to the discovery that compounds having Formulae (I) and (II) are activators o f caspases and inducers of apoptosis. Therefore, the activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis of this invention may be used to induce cell death in a variety of clinical conditions in which uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells occurs.

2â²-Benzoylpyridine thiosemicarbazones (BpT) are effective iron chelators and display potent anti-proliferative activity against tumour cells. In order to gain greater insight into the structureâactivity relationships of the BpT chelators, ten new analogues containing phenyl substituents at the N4-position of the BpT structure were synthesised. Importantly, aromatic substitution at the latter position of the BpT scaffold has not been previously explored and these studies represent the first attempt to investigate their structureâactivity relationships. These compounds demonstrated significantly enhanced anti-proliferative activity compared to the clinically used iron chelator, desferrioxamine (DFO). Furthermore, the compounds showed appreciable therapeutic indices against cancer cells over normal cells in vitro. Structureâactivity analysis revealed that electron-donating substituents such as âCH3 and âOCH3 resulted in greater anti-proliferative activity than electron-withdrawing groups such as âBr and âCl. These findings help to elucidate the effect of a variety of 4-phenyl substituents on the biological activity of BpT series of chelators and facilitate the future development of thiosemicarbazones with improved anti-tumour activity.
