In conclusion, we have synthesized trimethoxy aroyl indole-
benzimidazole conjugates 4-6(a‒i) and evaluated for their
antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines.
Among them, conjugates 5g and 6f showed significant
antiproliferative activity against human prostate cancer cell
line (DU-145). The flow cytometric analysis revealed that these
conjugates arrest cell cycle at G2/M phase. However, these
derivatives effectively inhibited microtubule assembly and
disrupt microtubule network in human prostate cancer cell
line, DU-145. Further, apoptosis studies such as Hoechst
staining, mitochondrial membrane potential and Annexin V
FITC assay suggested that these derivatives induced cell death
by apoptosis in DU-145 cells. Moreover, docking studies
provided some molecular insights about the binding mode of
these conjugates 5g and 6f that bind at the colchicine-binding
site in α,β interfaces of the tubulin. Based on the above results
it is evident that conjugates of this structural class, particularly
conjugates 5g and 6f are acquiescent to further modifications
and function as a suitable template for the design of new class
of tubulin polymerization inhibitors and apoptosis inducers for
the treatment of cancer.
