Anticancer studies of Imine analogues

Abstract A series of imine derivatives (3a-m) including thio-semicarbazone, semicarbazone, thiazole and oxazole functional moieties were examined for anti-cancer activity in-vitro by MTT assay using glioblastoma cell line (U87). Among all compound 3m was most potent compound with IC50 value of 8.86 ± 0.15 µM. Cytotoxicity of compounds were evaluated using normal human embryonic kidney cell line i.e HEK-293. Moreover, antibacterial activity of synthesized derivatives was also evaluated by disc diffusion method.
