Synthesis, Molecular Docking, and Biological Evaluation of a New Series of Benzothiazinones and Their Benzothiazinyl Acetate Derivatives as Anticancer Agents against MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells and as Anti-Inflammatory Agents.

Six 1,4-benzothiazin-3-ones (-) and four benzothiazinyl acetate derivatives (-) were synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic methods, namely, H NMR, C NMR, IR, MS, and elemental analysis. The cytotoxic effects of the compounds were assessed against MCF-7, a human breast cancer cell line, along with their anti-inflammatory activity. Molecular docking studies performed against the VEGFR2 kinase receptor displayed a common binding orientation of the compounds in the catalytic binding pocket of the receptor.
