Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking of Novel Azolylhydrazonothiazoles as Potential Anticancer Agents.

ABSTRACT: A novel set of thiazolylhydrazonothiazoles bearing an indole moiety were synthesized by subjection reactions of carbothioamide derivative and hydrazonoyl chlorides (or α-haloketones). The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against the colon carcinoma cell line (HCT-116), liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2), and breast carcinoma cell line (MDA-MB-231), and demonstrated encouraging activity. Furthermore, when representative products were assessed for toxicity against normal cells, minimal toxic effects were observed, indicating their potential safety for use in pharmacological studies. The mechanism of action of the tested products, as inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase domain (EGFR TK) protein, was suggested through docking studies that ass
