A series of bis(indolyl) hydrazide-hydrazones 5a-n were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against selected human cancer cell lines. The reaction of indole-3-carboxaldehyde 2 with indole-3-carbohydrazide 4 in presence of catalytic amount of acetic acid afforded 5a-n in good yields. Among the synthesized bis(indolyl)hydrazide-hydrazones, the compound 5b with N-(p-chlorobenzyl) and bromo substituents was found to be the most potent against multiple cancer cell lines (IC(50)=1.0 μM, MDA-MB-231). The compound 5k exhibited selective cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell line MCF7 (IC(50)=3.1 μM).

D011161 Porifera The phylum of sponges which are sessile, suspension-feeding, multicellular animals that utilize flagellated cells called choanocytes to circulate water. Most are hermaphroditic. They are probably an early evolutionary side branch that gave rise to no other group of animals. Except for about 150 freshwater species, sponges are marine animals. They are a source of ALKALOIDS; STEROLS; and other complex molecules useful in medicine and biological research. Demospongiae,Sponges (Zoology),Sponge (Zoology),Sponges,Poriferas,Sponge
