Zusammenfassung:Background To overcome the problem of side effects and toxicity, development of new anticancer agents is needed. Recently, piperidine salicylanilide derivatives with nanomolar epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitory and cytotoxicity activity have been reported. In the present study effect of replacing piperidine in reported piperidine salicylanilide with N -methyl piperazine and changing substituent’s of phenyl ring at other end on anticancer activity have been explored. A series of sixteen methyl piperazine incorporated phenyl benzamide and phenyl methanone derivatives have been synthesized and tested in a panel of three cancer cell lines (adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells (A-549), human colon carcinoma (HCT-116) and human pancreatic carcinoma (MIAPaCa-2)), using gefitinib as standard. Further, to study the probable mechanism, due to their structural similarity with EGFR inhibitors, docking interactions with EGFR active site were observed using Schrodinger suite. Result The results indicated that most of the compounds showed promising activity; out of which, compound A-11 was most active having cytotoxicity much better than that of gefitinib. It showed IC 50 value of 5.71 µM against A-549 cell line, 4.26 µM against HCT-116 colon cancer line and 31.36 µM against MIAPaCa-2 cell line. Conclusion It was found that these compounds fit well in the active site and may be exhibiting anticancer activity via EGFR inhibition. Graphical Abstract
