Abstract
A new class of 4-quinolinylhydrazone derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic potential against three cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. Compounds displaying more than 90 % of growth inhibition were evaluated for in vitro anticancer activities against four human cancer cell lines. The results were expressed as the concentrations that induce 50 % inhibition of cell growth (IC50) in μg/cm3. These compounds exhibited good cytotoxic activity against at least three cancer cell lines, with IC50 values between 0.314 and 4.65 μg/cm3. These derivatives are useful starting points for further study for new anticancer drugs and confirm the potential of quinoline derivatives as lead compounds in anticancer drug discovery.
