“…Isatin (indoline-2,3-dione) has provoked tremendous interest due to its numerous biological and pharmacological activities. The growing importance of substituted isatins in the field of medicinal chemistry as potential chemotherapeutic agents and their implications for prodrug design have been reported (Matesic et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2008;Lane et al, 2001;Patyna et al, 2006). As a continuation of our research devoted to the development of isatin derivatives (Qachchachi et al, 2014a,b), we report herein on the synthesis and crystal structure of a new indoline-2,3-dione derivative.…”

In the title compound, C 17 H 13 NO 2 , the indole ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å ) and is oriented at an angle of 69.33 (7) with respect to the phenyl ring. In the crystal, C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming zigzag chains propagating along the a-axis direction. Within the chains there are -stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7163 (8) and 3.7162 (8) Å ] involving isatin groups of neighbouring molecules.

“…[51]. All five N-phenethyl derivatives (8a-e) exhibited low to sub-micromolar cytotoxic activity against a panel of human leukemic, lymphoma and carcinoma cell lines where introduction of a hydrophobic bromo substituent in the meta (8b) or para (8c) position yielded the most active compounds [51]. Interestingly, the corresponding phenacyl derivatives (not shown) were at least 3-5 times less active against the U937 cells [51].…”

Isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione) and its derivatives are responsible for a broad spectrum of biological activities. Among these the cytotoxic and antineoplastic properties have been the most widely reported. The synthetic versatility of the isatin, due to its privileged scaffold, has led to the generation of a large number of structurally diverse derivatives which include analogues derived from either mono-, di-, and trisubstitution of the aryl ring A, and/or those obtained by derivatisation of the isatin nitrogen and C2/C3 carbonyl moieties. These compounds inhibit cancer cell proliferation and tumour growth via interaction with a variety of intracellular targets such as DNA, telomerase, tubulin, P-glycoprotein, protein kinases and phosphatases. Herein we review recent highlights in the development of isatin-based compounds as anticancer agents with a particular focus on the cytotoxicity and structure activity relationships.

The reactions of bis(2-chloroethyl)amine in presence of potassium carbonate with substituted isatins afforded the corresponding 1-[2-(2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl)ethyl)indoline-2,3-diones, which are used as starting materials for the preparation of new heterocyclic systems containing quinoxaline, oxazolidine, benzimidazoquinazoline and oxindole nuclei. The structures of the products were established by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectra and X-ray diffraction analysis.
