Synthesis and biological evaluation of some substituted-2-N-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-4-methylphenylsulphonyl) glutamic acid derivatives against prostate cancer cell line PC3.

New series of substituted glutamine 5a-l and glutamic acid diamides, diureide and dihydrazide 7a-e were synthesized from parent glutamic acid compound 3 and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against tumor cell line PC3 (prostate cancer cell line). Most of the tested compounds exploited potent growth inhibitory activity with IC(50) values ranging 0.034-3.

Synthesis, quantitative structure-activity relationship and biological evaluation of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives possessing diphenylamine moiety as potential anticancer agents.

Synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole (2a-c), 3-substituted aminomethyl-5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione (4a-m) and 2-substituted thio-5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole (5a, b) had been described. All the synthesized derivatives were screened for anticancer activity against HT29 and MCF7 cancer cell lines using Sulfo-Rodamine B (SRB) standard method. Most of the tested compounds exploited potent antiproliferative activity against HT29 cancer cell line rather than MCF7 cancer cell line.
