A new series of (E)-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylene)indolin-2-one derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against a panel of selected human cancer cell lines of prostate (PC-3 and DU-145) and breast (BT-549, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, 4T1), non-small lung (A549) and gastric (HGC) cancer cells along with normal breast epithelial cells (MCF10A). Among the tested compounds, 8l showed significant cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cancer cells with IC50values of 3.26 ± 0.24 μM and 5.96 ± 0.67 μM respectively. The compounds 8f, 8i, 8l and 8o were also screened on normal human breast epithelial cells (MCF10A) and found to be safer with lesser cytotoxicity. The treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with 8l led to inhibition of cell migration ability through disruption of F-actin protein assembly. The flow-cytometry analysis reveals that the cells arrested in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Further, the compound 8l induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells was characterized by different staining techniques such as Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB), DAPI, annexin V-FITC/PI, Rhodamine-123 and MitoSOX red assay. Western blot studies demonstrated that the compound 8l treatment led to activation of caspase-3, increased expression of cleaved PARP, increased expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells.

A series of new benzimidazole-thiazolidinedione hybrids has been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic potential against a selected human cancer cell lines of prostate (PC-3 and DU-145), breast (MDA-MB-231), lung (A549) and a normal breast epithelial cells (MCF10A). Among the tested compounds, 11p exhibited promising cytotoxicity with IC50value of 11.46?±?1.46?μM on A549 lung cancer cell line and did not show significant toxicity on normal MCF10A cells. Lung cancer cells (A549) have been used to know the mechanism of cell growth inhibition and apoptosis inducing effect with compound 11p. The treatment of A549?cells with 11p showed typical apoptotic morphology like cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation and horseshoe shaped nuclei formation. Flow-cytometry analysis revealed the G2/M phase of cell cycle arrest in a dose dependent manner. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that the cell migration was inhibited through the disruption of F-actin protein. Acridine orange-ethidium bromide (AO-EB), DAPI, annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide, rhodamine-123 and MitoSOX assays suggested the induction of apoptosis in A549 cells by compound 11p.

Forty-three 1,5-diheteroaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-ones were designed as potential curcumin mimics, structurally featuring a central five-carbon dienone linker and two identical nitrogen-containing aromatic rings. They were synthesized using a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction as the critical step and evaluated for their cytotoxicity and antiproliferative activities toward both androgen-insensitive and androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cell lines and an aggressive cervical cancer cell line. Most of the synthesized compounds showed distinctly better in vitro potency than curcumin in the four cancer cell lines. The structure-activity data acquired from the study validated (1E,4E)-1,5-dihereroaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-ones as an excellent scaffold for in-depth development for clinical treatment of prostate and cervical cancers. 1-Alkyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl, ortho pyridyl, 1-alkyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl, 4-bromo-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl, thiazol-2-yl, and 2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)thiazol-5-yl were identified as optimal heteroaromatic rings for the promising in vitro potency. (1E,4E)-1,5-Bis(2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)thiazol-5-yl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one, featuring thiazole rings and trifluoromethyl groups, was established as the optimal lead compound because of its good in vitro potency and attractive in vivo pharmacokinetic profiles.
