Anticancer activity and QSAR study of sulfur-containing thiourea and sulfonamide derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Sulfur-containing compounds are considered as attractive pharmacophores for discovery of new drugs regarding their versatile properties to interact with various biological targets. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling is one of well-recognized in silico tools for successful drug discovery. In this work, a set of 38 sulfur-containing derivatives (Types I-VI) were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activities against 6 cancer cell lines. In vitro findings indicated that compound 13 was the most potent cytotoxic agent toward HuCCA-1 cell line (IC₅₀ = 14.47 μM). Compound 14 exhibited the most potent activities against 3 investigated cell lines (i.e., HepG2, A549, and MDA-MB-231: IC₅₀ range = 1.50-16.67
