Zusammenfassung: | A convenient synthesis under ultrasound (US) irradiation of 4-thiazolidinone, thiazole, dihydrothiazole, and thiazine hybrid compounds containing quinoline and indole nucleus is described. All the title compounds were characterized by NMR and HRMS. The synthetic protocol affords highly selective conversions, short reaction times, simple work-up procedures, and good yields compared with conventional methods. All the synthesized compounds were tested for
in vitro
cytotoxic activity against glioblastoma (SF-295), leukemia (HL-60), and prostate cancer (PC-3) cell lines. Three compounds (
4c–e
) presented moderate to high activity against all cancer cell lines evaluated. Compound
4c
stood out with its promising cytotoxicity activity against the HL-60 cell line with an IC
50
value of 2.41 μM and an SI of 10.5. The electrochemical behavior of
4c
was studied using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) on a glassy carbon electrode modified with dsDNA and with ssDNA in the solution. As a result, the pre-concentration of the compound on the dsDNA biosensor surface and modification of the oxidation currents of guanosine and adenosine bases in ssDNA experiments demonstrated an interaction between
4c
and DNA. The affinity of
4c
was evaluated against ctDNA by exploring spectroscopic techniques, showing that this compound acts preferentially as a groove binder. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations proposed that
4c
interacts
via
groove binding and intercalation, corroborating the experimental results. The dominating interactions were conventional hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Finally, our findings suggest the
4c
derivative to be a potential anticancer prototype against HL-60. |
