BACKGROUND
Triazine ring is a prominent structural motif found in some azanucleosides whose efficiency improved many times in the research area of antitumor agents.
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we have designed and synthesized novel 2-[(5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)thio]-N-(6- substituted benzo/(thiazol)-2-yl)acetamide (2a-d, 3a-f) derivatives using 1,2,4-triazine core along with two important heterocyles, thiazole and benzothiazole rings.
METHODS
The acquired ten final compounds were screened to investigate their antitumor activity against lung adenocarcinoma cell line, A549 and mouse fibroblast cell line, NIH/3T3. Five compounds with higher antiproliferative activity have been further studied to evaluate whether the cell death due to necrosis or apoptosis using flow cytometry.
CONCLUSIONS
Compound 3b bearing 6-methylbenzothiazole moiety has been established as the most active antitumor compound with a selective profile and higher apoptotic cell level. All final componds were also screened against acetylcholine/butyrylcholinesterase enzymes to state their anticholinesterase activity.
