Synthesis, identification and evaluation of molecular docking and experimental anti-cancer and antioxidant activity of new spiro four membered ring derivatives bearing 5-nitro isatin

Nat Prod Res. 2023 Mar 30:1-8. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2023.2195178. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSpiro-5-nitro isatino aza-β-lactams were produced by a [2 + 2] cycloaddition of 5-nitro isatin Schiff bases [1-5] with different aromatic isocyanate and thioisocyanate. 1HNMR and 13CNMR as well as FTIR spectroscopies, were used to identify the structures of the obtained compounds. These spiro-5-nitro isatin aza- β-lactams interest to us due to their potential antioxidant and anticancer properties. The MTT assay was used to examine in vitro bioactivity testing against breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. From result data, compound 14 displayed IC50 values that were lower than those of the clinically used anticancer drug tamoxifen toward MCF-7 cells after 24 h while compound 9 after 48 h synthesized compounds [6-20] were evaluated for against antioxidant activity by using DPPH assay. In molecular docking, Promising compounds were used to reveal potential cytotoxic activity mechanisms.PMID:36995026 | DOI:10.1080/14786419.2023.2195178
