Discovery of sulfonamide-tethered isatin derivatives as novel anticancer agents and VEGFR-2 inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: In this work, new isatin-based sulphonamides (6a-i, 11a-c, 12a-c) were designed and synthesised as potential dual VEGFR-2 and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors with anticancer activities. Firstly, all target isatins were examined for in vitro antitumor action on NCI-USA panel (58 tumour cell lines). Then, the most potent derivatives were examined for the potential CA inhibitory action towards the physiologically relevant hCA isoforms I, II, and tumour-linked hCA IX isoform, in addition, the VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity was evaluated. The target sulphonamides failed to inhibit the CA isoforms that could be attributable to the steric effect of the neighbouring methoxy group, whereas they displayed potent VEGFR-2 inhibitory effect. Following that, isatins 11b<
