Synthesis, characterization and antitumour activity of some novel oxazine substituted 9-anilinoacridines and their 3D-QSAR studies

Abstract

A series of oxazine substituted 9-anilinoacridines were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for antitumor activity against Daltons lymphoma ascites cells using in vitro and in vivo methods. Results indicated that these conjugates exhibited significant antitumour activity on Daltons lymphoma ascites cells. Among these agents, compounds 4b, 4c, 4e and 4j were the most cytotoxic with CTC50 value of 96.5-190 µg/ml (0.125-0.352 µM). 3D QSAR study was performed using PHASE module of Schrodinger suite.
