Aim:A novel series of N-nitroso-3-(substituted phenylimino)-indolin-2-one 3a–h was synthesized and tested for carcinogenic effects.Materials and Methods:The synthesized pyrazole derivatives’ chemical structures were proved by means of their infra red (IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), and mass,and confirmed by elemental analyses. The carcinogenic activity was assessed by 3–(4,5dimethyl thiazole–2yl)–2,5–diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT) cell-viability assay.Results:The results show that most of the synthesized compounds exhibit significant carcinogenic activities. Among the synthesized compounds, N-nitroso-3-(2,4-dinitrophenylimino)-indolin-2-one 3h exhibited the most potent carcinogenic activity.Conclusion:The structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies show that the nature as well as the position of the amine are important for deciding the activity profile of the indolin-2-one derivatives, which reiterates the need for further experimental investigations.
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.
