[ 1 ] - Design, Synthesis and Cytotoxicity Evaluationof New 1,2-diaryl-4, 5, 6, 7-Tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d] Imidazolesas Tubulin Inhibitors

A new series of 1,2-diaryl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles, possessing trimethoxy phenyl pharmacophore, were synthesized to evaluate their biological activities as tubulin inhibitors. Cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds 7a-f was assessed against several human cancer cell lines, including MCF-7 (breast cancer cell), HEPG2 (liver hepatocellular cells), A549 (adenocarcinomic h...

[ 2 ] - Synthesis and Molecular-cellular Mechanistic Study of Pyridine Derivative of Dacarbazine

Dacarbazine is an antitumor prodrug which is used for the treatment of malignant metastatic melanoma and Hodgkin’s disease. It requires initial activation in liver through an N-demethylationreaction. The active metabolite prevents the progress of disease via alkylation of guanine bases in DNA strands. In order to investigate the importance of imidazole ring and its dynamictautomerization in ant...
