Abstract

A series of novel N-(1H-benzimidazole-2-yl-carbamothioyl)benzamide derivatives were synthesized under microwave irradiation and evaluated for anticancer activity. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectral data. Complexity associated with cancer disease and prevalence of diversified cell populations vindicates highly specific treatment options for treatment of cancer. Resistance to these anticancer agents has posed a great hindrance in successful treatment of cancer. Pondering this ongoing situation, it was speculated to develop novel compounds targeting cancer. All the newly synthesized compounds 3a-f were further evaluated for anticancer activity against MCF-7 cell lines using MTT assay. Molecular docking studies were performed using VLife MDS 4.3 software. The compounds 3c exhibited good docking scores of -60.37. The anticancer and docking results highlight the fact that the synthesized compounds 3c could be considered as possible hit as therapeutic agents. A significant correlation was observed between the in silico and the in vitro studies.
