In vitro cytotoxicity screening of some 3-substituted-4-oxo-imidazolidin-2-(1H)-thione derivatives as anticancer drug

This study aimed to investigate the antitumor activity of new series of 2-thiohydanotin derivatives ( and ) against two cancer cell lines. A new series of 2-thioxoimidazolidine derivatives ( ) were synthesized and investigated for its structure through spectral analysis and also tested against (HepG-2) and (HCT-116) cell line. Among the synthesized compounds, compound halted liver cancer cells at the G0/G1 phase and triggered apoptosis of liver cancer. Contrarily, compound caused colon cancer cells to be arrested at the S phase and trigger apoptosis. Also, they had a good inhibitory effect on (Nrf2). Both compounds had attractive lead molecules for the creation of colon and liver cancer medications.
