Synthesis of Novel Bis-imino and Bis-amino Curcuminoids for Evaluation of Their Anticancer and Antibacterial Activity.

ABSTRACT: A new set of curcumin analogues with a Schiff base moiety were synthesized from a bis-aldehyde derivative of hydroxybenzylidene cyclohexanone and various alicyclic and aromatic amines. The single crystals of compound 2 (bis-aldehyde), compound 3b (bis-cyclohexylimino derivative), and compound 3c (bis-1-imino piperidyl derivative) were developed. The said bis-imino and bis-amino curcuminoids were tested for anticancer activity against MCF-7 utilizing the conventional MTT assay. These Schiff bases had significantly higher anticancer efficacy than curcumin and methotrexate against MCF-7 cell lines. Compounds 3k, 3b, and 3l have the highest efficacy among all synthesized curcuminoids. The MTT results are in accordance with the binding affinities found by dock
