A variety of amines have been employed to functionalize isobenzofuran-1,3-dione to obtain
isoindoline-1,3-dione derivatives in the base free conditions. All the synthesized compounds are screened for their bioactivity through molecular docking, cytotoxicity (against HeLa) and antioxidant activity. ABTS and DPPH are employed to assess the antioxidant activity. Among the synthesized isoindoline-1,3-dione derivatives (3a-k), compound 3e has showed the best antioxidant activity and also exhibited better binding energy when docked with caspase-3 protein. Cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was studied against cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) and compound 3e has displayed
better activity than other isoindoline derivatives.
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.
