2-acetylpyridine N(4)-phenyl thiosemicarbazone (H2Ac4Ph), and its N(4)-ortho-tolyl (H2Ac4oT), N(4)-meta-tolyl (H2Ac4mT), N(4)-para-tolyl (H2Ac4pT), N(4)-ortho-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4oClPh), N(4)-meta-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4mClPh) and N(4)-para-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4pClPh) derivatives were assayed for their cytotoxicity against RT2 (expressing p53 protein) and against T98 (expressing mutant p53 protein) glioma cells. The compounds were highly cytotoxic against RT2 (IC50=24-1.4 nM) and T98 cells (IC50=50-1.0 nM). IC50 for cisplatin=5 (RT2) and 17 μM (T98). The thiosemicarbazones presented haemolytic activity with IC50>10(-3)M, indicating a very good therapeutic index. SAR studies suggested that stereo properties are critical to define the potential activity of the studied compounds against the RT2 cell line, while electronic properties seem to be important for interaction with the biological target in T98 cells.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
