Antioxidant and anticancer activities of aaminophosphonates containing thiadiazole moiety

الملخص EN

In the current study, a-aminophosphonates containing thiadiazole moiety (1–4) was synthesized, characterized and their antioxidant and anticancer activities were carried out.

The compounds (1–4) were synthesized from the reaction of 2-amino-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole with various aldehydes, triphenylphosphite and mixed valence Cu(I)/Cu(II) inorganic coordination polymer as a catalyst.

The elucidation of compounds structures were carried out using different spectroscopic techniques.

The antioxidant properties were carried out using radical scavenging methods (DPPH) which exhibited excellent scavenging activity particularly with compound 3.

The cytotoxic effects of the five compounds on the human hepato cellular carcinoma (HepG2) and breast adeno carcinoma (MCF7) cell lines were evaluated using MTT assay which revealed the presence of cytotoxic effect with highest activity for compound 3 on HepG2 and compound 1 on MCF7.

This suggests that these five compounds, particularly compounds 1 and 3, have antioxidant and anticancer effect and could be used as novel chemotherapeutic compounds but this needs further in vivo investigation to confirm our in vitro results
