Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Isoxazole-Thiadiazole Linked Carbazole Hybrids as Anticancer Agents

Аннотация

A series of isoxazole-thiadiazole linked carbazole derivatives 12a–12j are synthesized and their chemical structures confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR and mass spectra. The products are tested for their anticancer activity against human cancer cell lines: MCF-7 (breast), A549 (lung), DU-145 (prostate), and MDA MB-231 (breast) by using MTT assay and etoposide as a reference drug. The accumulated data indicate that most of the compounds demonstrate anticancer activity higher than etoposide.
