Cytotoxicity study of dimethylisatin and its heterocyclic derivatives

Abstract: Isatin derivatives are bioactive molecules. To study the cytotoxicity and eventually the anticancer activities against cancer cell lines, a series of dimethyl-substitituted isatin derivatives (4-8) starting from isatin thiosemicarbazones (3) had been synthesized in high yields. Investigation of the cytotoxicity of these compounds was carried out against brine shrimp by lethality bioassay. The present study shows that compounds 4, 5, 6 and 8' with heterocyclic moiety had pronounced cytotoxicity whereas 7, 7' an… Show more

“…Hence a significant rising research interest in the design of oxindoles as drugs is currently observed in the field of medicinal organic chemistry. The Schiff bases and spiro-thiadiazoline derivatives of isatins have shown remarkable biological activities, which is already reported [2][3][4] . On the other hand, the consumption of citrus fruits, vegetables, red wines, juices, etc.…”

“…Increasing the number of electron-withdrawing groups on the ring to make combinations of dibromo-, tribromo-, iodo-and nitroisatin derivatives (3h-n) also enhanced the overall activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines, by up to 100-fold from that of the parent molecule (1). Despite this trend, 6,7-dimethylisatin was deemed inactive in a brine shrimp lethality assay (LD 50 96 ppm) compared to other substituted heterocyclic isatins [40], suggesting that together with substitution on the aromatic ring A, substitution at N1, C2 and/or C3, may also significantly enhance the molecule's cytotoxic effect (see sections 2.2 -…”

“…Hence a significant rising research interest in the design of oxindoles and spirothiadiazolines as drugs is currently observed in the field of medicinal organic chemistry [7]. The conventional synthesis of the similar type Schiff-bases and thiadiazoline derivatives of isatin derivatives and their consequent biological activities have been reported in many of ours and other previous articles [8][9][10][11]. Besides, MW-assisted synthesis of isatin related compounds in different ways is also reported [11].…”
