The cytotoxic activities of the compounds were determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method in human breast cancer (MCF-7), human cervical cancer (HeLa), and mouse fibroblast (L929) cell lines. The compounds MAAS-5 and four modified the supercoiled tertiary structure of pBR322 plasmid DNA. MAAS-5 showed the highest cytotoxic activity in HeLa, MCF-7, and L929 cells with IC50 values of 16.
