Abstract

In this study, we designed, synthesized and characterized a novel series of piperidine-dihydropyridine hybrid compounds and characterized them by 1H-NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectrometry (MS), and elemental analysis. Subsequently, we assessed their in vitro anticancer potentials against the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7 and the lung cancer cell line A-549. Several of these compounds demonstrated significant activity, with IC50 values ranging from 15.94 μM to 48.04 μM for A-549 and 24.68 μM to 59.12 μM for MCF-7, when compared to the reference drug Cisplatin.Notably, a compound featuring a 3-fluoro substitution in the carboxamide series exhibited robust inhibitory effects, with an IC50 of 15.94±0.201 μM against A-549 cells and an IC50 of 22.12±0.213 μM against MCF-7 cells, respectively. Additionally, a compound containing a cyclobutyl ring displayed potent activity, with an IC50 of 16.56±0.125 μM against A-549 and an IC50 of 24.68±0.217 μM against MCF-7 cells, respectively. Furthermore, molecular docking studies against the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) (PDB ID: 2J6M) revealed favourable binding scores and interactions, suggesting their potential as promising candidates for further investigation in the context of anticancer drug development.
