Abstract
New nimesulide derivatives (A1-A6) were synthesized and investigated by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, melting point, elemental analysis, mass spectra, and DSC analysis. Agent A3 single crystal was grown and solved in a monoclinic crystal system with Cc. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and tubulin are essential cellular proteins for normal cell division and growth. In addition, these proteins are expressed highly in cancer cells. Breast cancer (SKBR3) and ovarian cancer (SKOV3) cell lines are our models for biological assessment. The data revealed that nimesulide analogs showed high cytotoxicity when treated with SKBR3 cell line ranges from 0.22 µM to 12.0 µM, while SKOV3 cell line from 0.1 µM to 16.0 µM. In-depth, structure-activity relationship applied on nimesulide lead structure highlights the importance of a bulk moiety on position two that reduces cell proliferation in both cell lines.
