Abstract
Abstract 9-Amino acridine derivatives (1a–e) on condensation with dihydrofuran-2,5-dione, hexahydroisobenzofuran-1,3-dione and isochroman-1,3-dione under microwave irradiation gave corresponding condensation products 2a–e, 3a–e and 4a–e, respectively, in good yields. All these compounds were screened in vitro for anticancer activity against five human cancer cell lines, i.e., breast (T47D), lung (NCl H-522), colon (HCT-15), ovary (PA-1) and liver (Hep G2). Compounds 1-(3-methoxyacridine-9-yl) pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (2d) (ovary PA-1), 2-(2-methylacridine-9-yl)hexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (3b) (lung NCl H-522), 2-(4-methylacridine-9-yl)hexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (3c) (ovary PA-1), 2-(4-methoxyacridine-9-yl)hexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (3e) (ovary PA-1) and 2-(2-methylacridine-9-yl)isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-dione (4b) (ovary PA-1) exhibited IC50 values 7.1, 8.0, 5.4, 10.0 and 6.56 µM, respectively, and hence possess good anticancer activity.
