Background and Objective:
Chrysin and its derivatives proved to possess potential anti-tumour activity.
Materials and Methods:
A new series of chrysin analogs containing 1,2,3-triazoles with different substituent groups (5a-5l) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potential anticancer agents. The synthesized compounds were characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR 13C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
Resulsts:
The anticancer activities of the synthesized compounds were studied in four cancer cell lines viz.PC3, PC3-PSMA, MCF-7 and UM-UC-3 using doxorubicin as standard. Among all the tested compounds 5c was found as most active with IC50 value of 10.8 ± 0.04 µM in PC3 cells and 20.53 ± 0.21 µMin MCF-7 cells respectively. Flow cytometry analyses indicated that synthesized compounds 5a,5c and 5h arrested MCF-7 cells at the G2/M phase in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusion:
Chyrsin derivatives could be novel anticancer agents.
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.
