Abstract
A series of new 2-(3-aminophenyl)-benzothiazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against various human cancer cell lines including A549, HeLa, HepG2, MCF-7, MV4-11, and DB. Among the tested compounds, N-[3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenyl]nicotinamide displayed significantly improved antiproliferative activity toward A549 and MV4-11 cells with IC50 values of 5.42 ± 1.33 and 7.51 ± 0.98 μM, respectively, much stronger than the hit 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-N-(4-bromobenzyl)aniline. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis indicated that N-[3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenyl]nicotinamide induced A549 cell apoptosis with cell cycle arrest at G1 phase in a concentration-dependent manner.Graphical abstract
