Abstract
The current work aims to design and synthesis a new series of isatin derivatives and greatly enhances their cytotoxic activity. The derivatives 3-((bromophenyl) imino)-1-(morpholino (pyridine) methyl) indolin-2-one, 2-((oxoindoline) amino) benzoic acid, 3-(thiazolo-imino) indolinone, ethyl-2-((oxoindolin-3-ylidene)amino)-benzothiophene-3-carboxylate, 1-(oxoindoline)-benzo[4,5] thieno [2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(1H)-one, ethyl-2-(2-oxoindoline) hydrazine-1-carboxylate, N-(mercapto-oxo-pyrimidine)-2-(oxoindoline) hydrazine-1-carboxamide, N-(oxo-thiazolo[3,2-a] pyrimidine)-2-(oxoindolin-ylidene) hydrazine-carboxamide, 3-((amino-phenyl) amino)-3-hydroxy- indolinone, 3-((amino-phenyl) imino)-indolinone, 2-(2-((oxoindoline) amino) phenyl) isoindolinone, 2-(oxoindoline) hydrazine-carbothioamide, 5 '-thioxospiro[indoline-3,3 '-[1,2,4]triazolidin]-one, 5 '-amino-spiro[indoline-3,2 '-[1,3,4]thiadiazol]-2-one and 3-((2-thioxo-imidazo[4,5-b]quinoxaline) imino) indolinone were synthesized from the starting material 1-(morpholino (pyridine) methyl) indoline-2,3-dione and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against carcinogenic cells. The new chemical structures were evidenced using spectroscopy (IR, NMR and MS) and elemental analysis. The results show that compounds imidazo[4,5-b]quinoxaline-indolinone, thiazolopyrimidine-oxoindoline, pyrimidine-oxoindoline-hydrazine-carboxamide, spiro[indoline-3,2 '-[1,3,4] thiadiazol]-one and spiro[indoline-3,3 '-[1,2,4]triazolidin]-one have excellent anti-proliferative activities against different human cancer cell lines such as gastric carcinoma cells (MGC-803), breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7), nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (CNE2) and oral carcinoma cells (KB).
