Background: Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) represent an important class of heterocyclic compounds that have versatile biological activities, including anticancer activity. Glioma is one of the most common primary brain tumors, and it is responsible for most of the deaths caused by primary brain tumors. In the present work, 2,4-thiazolidinediones were synthesized via a multi-component microwave one-pot procedure. The cytotoxicity of compounds was analyzed in vitro using rat (C6) and mouse (GL261) glioblastoma cell lines and primary cultures of astrocytes. Objective: This study aims to synthesize and characterize 2,4-thiazolidinediones and evaluate their antitumor activity. Method: TZDs were synthesized from three components: 2,4-thiazolidinedione, arene-aldehydes, and aryl chlorides. The reactions were carried out inside a microwave and monitored using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Compounds were identified and characterized using gas chromatog-raphy coupled to mass spectrometry (CG-MS) and hydrogen (1 H-NMR) and carbon nuclear mag-netic resonance spectroscopy (13 C-NMR). The antitumor activity was analyzed using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction test, in which cell viability was veri-fied in the primary cultures of astrocytes and in rat and mouse glioblastoma cells exposed to the synthesized compounds. The cytotoxicity of all derivatives was analyzed at the 100 μM concentra-tion, both in astrocytes and in the mouse and rat glioblastoma cell lines. The compounds that showed the best results, 4CI and 4DI, were also tested at concentrations 25, 50, 100, 175, and 250 M to obtain the IC50 . Results: Seventeen TZD derivatives were easily obtained through one-pot reactions in 40 minutes with yields ranging from 12% to 49%. All compounds were cytotoxic to both glioblastoma cell lines without being toxic to the astrocyte primary cell line at 100 μM, thus demonstrating a selective activity. Compounds 4CI and 4DI showed the best results in the C6 cells: IC50 of 28.51 μM and 54.26 μM, respectively. Conclusion: The compounds were not cytotoxic in astrocyte culture, demonstrating selectivity for malignant cells. Changes in both rings are important for anti-glioma activity in the cell lines tested. TZD 4CI had the best anti-glioma activity.
