Abstract
Various benzoxazepine derivatives have been synthesized and characterized using IR, NMR, GC–MS, and microanalysis. The single-crystal X-ray structures of 2,2-dimethyl-4-[(E)-2-(4-methylphenyl)ethenyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzoxazepine (RS01), 4-[(E)-2-(2-chlorophenyl)ethenyl] -2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzoxazepine (RS05), 2,2,4-trimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzothiazepine (RS11), and 2,2,4-trimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzoxazepine (RS12) have been discussed. The compounds have been evaluated for their anticancer properties in breast cancer cells. 4-[(E)-2-(2-Chlorophenyl)ethenyl]-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzoxazepine (RS03) and RS12 displayed potent cytotoxicity in both benign (MCF-7) and metastatic (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells. These compounds were more selective for the MCF-7 cells with RS03 being the most potent compound (IC50 = 15 µM) of the series. Upon further investigation, it was found that RS03 and RS12 induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and display limited toxicity against the noncancerous breast cell line, MCF-10A.
