A wide variety of indole, substituted benzaldehyde linked keto hydrazide-hydrazone analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against eight human cancer cell lines HeLa, A549, MCF-7, K562, HEK293, HT29, SF295 and HL60. All these synthesized compounds showed potent antitumor activities on the above eight human cancer cell lines. Among them, 6a and 6h compounds exhibited potent antitumor activity on HL 60 and A549 cancer cell lines with IC50 value of 3.913 and 4.838 µM than the standard drug cisplatin with IC50 values of 27 and 36 µM, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
