Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxicity appraisal of original 1, 2, 3-Triazole derivatives, against breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231)

Abstract

The present study established the efficient separate synthesis of four unique 1, 2, 3-triazole derivatives (M1, M2, M3, M4) via conducting 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-((4-azidophenyl) sulfonyl) acetamide, with substituted N-phenylmaleimide. FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectra were utilized for the characterization of the triazoles. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds, with regards to breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231), were then evaluated. The cytotoxicity pre-screening outcomes for 100 μM portrayed a variety of actions, while the IC50 values with concentrations of 0-500 ΜM for 48 hours, the results are 2.542, 2.929, 2.429, and 2.864 ΜM for the compounds M1, M2, M3, and M4 respectively. Remarkably, the M2 and M4 para-substituted compounds exhibited superior IC50 values, in comparison to the M1 and M3 ortho-substituted compounds. This suggests that the M1 and M3 compounds have the potential to perform as against breast cancer.
