Developing Heterogeneous Porous 3D-Printed SiO₂-Pd-K₂SiO₃ Monolithic Catalyst via Surface MOF Growth and Pyrolysis for the Synthesis of Antitumoral Isatins.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The isatin nucleus is a privileged scaffold in drug discovery, particularly due to its proven relevance in anticancer research. Developing reusable heterogeneous 3D catalysts for drug synthesis represents a critical challenge in both industrial and academic contexts. This multi and interdisciplinary work aimed to design and synthesize a novel 3D-printed silica-based porous catalyst functionalized with palladium, evaluate its catalytic performance in isatin drug synthesis, and assess the antiproliferative activity of the resulting compounds against tumor cell lines such as HeLa, MCF-7, and MDA-MB231. Methods: The novel multifaceted approach to synthesizing this heterogeneous catalyst involved the surface growth of a metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) on 3D-
