Abstract
A set of novels 2-thiohydantoin derivatives were synthesized and enaminone function was discussed at position 5 using DMFDMA catalyst which result in formation of pyrazole, isoxazole, benzoxazepine by using reagents such as hydrazine, hydroxylamine and 2-aminothiophenol. These newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant and antiproliferative activity. In vitro studies on the effect of 2-thiohydantoin on scavenging 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) confirmed the free radical scavenging and antioxidant activity of 2-thiohydantoin. The synthesized compounds show significant antioxidant activity. The in vitro antitumor activity of 2-thiohydantoin on MCF7 (breast) and PC3 cells (prostate) was evaluated using MTT assay. Some of the synthesized compounds show significant to moderate antiproliferative properties compared to reference drug erlotinib. Among all, compound 4a exhibit potent antitumor properties against MCF7 and PC3 cancer cell lines with IC50 = 2.53 ± 0.09 /ml & with IC50 = 3.25 ± 0.12 µg/ml respectively and has potent antioxidant activity with IC50 = 10.04 ± 0.49 µg/ml.
