Abstract
Thiourea derivative,3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)thiourea, was synthesized. The structure of the synthesized compound (3) was elucidated by IR, UV–visible, 1H NMR, mass Spectrometry, and X-ray single crystal structure. The computational quantum chemical studies like, IR, UV, NBO analysis were performed by DFT with Becke-3-Lee-Yang- Parr (B3LYP) exchange-correlation functional in combination with 6–311++G(d,p) basis sets. It was observed experimentally and theoretically that compound (3) exhibited syn-anti-conformation around sulphur atom. The DNA-binding constant Kb was found 3.3 × 106 Lmol−1. The docking energy of compound (3) with 1BNA was found −6.2 kcal/mol. MTT-assay against HepG2 (IC50 = 140.39) and Siha (IC50 = 119.87 μM) cell lines revealed that compound (3) wasnon-toxic up to140.39 μM against HepG2 and 119.87 μM against Siha cells respectively. It was also found that compound (3) is non-toxic against normal human cell line HEK-293(IC50 = 148.67 μM). Cell cycle analyses displayed that treated HepG2 cells at 40 μM and 80 μM showed 65% and 70% arrest in G0/G1with respect to untreated controls (60%) and Siha cells at the same concentration displayed 59% and 65% arrest with respect to G0/G1 as compared to untreated control (45%).
