Synthesis, anticancer and antioxidant activities of some novel N-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-2-(7- or 5-substituted-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene) hydrazinecarboxamide derivatives.

A series of N-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-2-(7- or 5-substituted-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene) hydrazinecarboxamide derivatives were synthesized by treating N-(benzoxazol-2-yl)hydrazinecarboxamide with different isatin derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of spectral analyses. All the synthesized derivatives (Va-l) were screened for anticancer and antioxidant activities.
