Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of some novel Schiff base derivatives as potential anticancer agents

Abstract

Novel series of pyrrolizine Schiff bases has been synthesized then biologically evaluated as potential anticancer agents. The starting compounds,7-cyano-6-amino-N-(4-(un)substituted-phenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizine-5- carboxamides 17a–c, were reacted with different aldehydes to give the target compounds 18-20. Structural characterizations of the novel compounds were performed using spectral and elemental analysis. The anticancer activity of these compounds was evaluated using Sulforhodamine-B (SRB) assay method .All of these compounds showed anticancer activity against bothHEPG2 and MCF7 cancer cell lines comparable to that of the standard Doxorubicin (HEPG2 IC50 =0.00699μM/ml). Most of compounds are more active against (MCF7) than (HEPG2) cell lines. Compound 18c showed the highest anticancer activity with IC50 value 0.250μM/ml against (MCF7).While, Compound18b was the most potent one against liver (HEPG2) with IC50 value 0.784 μM/ml. Modeling studies into ATP binding site of EGFR tyrosine kinase were done to predict their scores and mode of interaction with amino acid residues. Furthermore selectivity of the prototypes(18-20a) on normal Wish cell was evaluated and showed IC50 of 0.946, 1.322 and 1.122 respectively
