A new series of 3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-5-(2-(5-arylbenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)oxa zol-5- yl)isoxazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. All these derivatives were evaluated for their anticancer activity against various human cancer cell lines such as MCF-7 (breast cancer), A549 (lung cancer), DU-145 (prostate cancer) and MDA MB-231 (breast cancer)-four human cancer cell lines by using MTT assay. Here, etoposide was used as a standard reference drug and most of the compounds were exhibited good anticancer activity with respect to cell lines. Among all compounds, five compounds 11b, 11c, 11f, 11i and 11j showed more potent activity than standard drug, in which, compound 11f was the most promising compound.

Pentathiepins are polysulfur-containing compounds that exert antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity in cancer cells, induce oxidative stress and apoptosis, and inhibit glutathione peroxidase (GPx1). This renders them promising candidates for anticancer drug development. However, the biological effects and how they intertwine have not yet been systematically assessed in diverse cancer cell lines. In this study, six novel pentathiepins were synthesized to suit particular requirements such as fluorescent properties or improved water solubility. Structural elucidation by X-ray crystallography was successful for three derivatives. All six underwent extensive biological evaluation in 14 human cancer cell lines. These studies included investigating the inhibition of GPx1 and cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, and the induction of ROS and DNA strand breaks. Furthermore, selected hallmarks of apoptosis and the impact on cell cycle progression were studied. All six pentathiepins exerted high cytotoxic and antiproliferative activity, while five also strongly inhibited GPx1. There is a clear connection between the potential to provoke oxidative stress and damage to DNA in the form of single- and double-strand breaks. Additionally, these studies support apoptosis but not ferroptosis as the mechanism of cell death in some of the cell lines. As the various pentathiepins give rise to different biological responses, modulation of the biological effects depends on the distinct chemical structures fused to the sulfur ring. This may allow for an optimization of the anticancer activity of pentathiepins in the future.

Background: Several biological activities like anticancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antitubercular activities are reported for pyrimidine scaffolds. Extensive work on pyrimidine indole scaffolds is required for antimitotic activity. Objective: To synthesize a novel Indole Pyrimidine scaffold via an efficient synthetic method and to evaluate cytotoxic activity using various human cancer cell lines. Methods: 4,4-(3-substituted phenyl)-6-methyl-N-[(Z)-(5-methyl-2-oxo-indolin-3-ylidene)amino]-2- oxo-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic activity. The structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, C13NMR and Mass spectroscopy. The antiproliferative activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro against human cancer cell lines including HeLa and MCF-7. Results: The results revealed that most of the compounds possessed moderate to excellent potency. Three among 10 molecules, showed more than 70% growth inhibition against all tested cancer cells. The nature of the substituent group (R) on the indole ring affected significantly the anti-proliferative activity of the molecules. The IC50 values of the most promising compound 4h are 76.4µM and 88.2µM against HeLa and MCF-7 respectively, which are closer to the standard compound doxorubicin. Conclusion: Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that 4b and 4d interact and bind efficiently with KSP binding site. The preliminary results made us investigate for further development of potent indole-pyrimidine scaffolds as cytotoxic agents
