A novel series of alpha-bromoacryloyl N-substituted isatin analogues were found to inhibit the growth and viability of human myeloid leukemia HL-60 and U-937 cells as well as human lymphoid leukemia MOLT-3 cells. Cell death induced by these molecules was preceded by a rapid release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol and subsequent caspase activation involving caspase-3, to cleave poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). These findings suggest that these compounds present antiproliferative activity which may be mediated by apoptosis caused by cytochrome c release and caspase activation in human leukemia cells.

Background And Purpose: Isatin derivatives have excited attention due to their biological attractions, especially, anticancer properties. Isatin analogs such as semaxanib and sunitinib were exposed to tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. N-substituted isatins were reported to show cytotoxic activity.

SARS-CoV-2 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL) is considered an attractive target for the development of anti-COVID-19 agents due to its vital function. The -substituted isatin derivative L-26 is a potential SARS-CoV-2 3CL inhibitor, but it has poor cell-based antiviral activity and high cytotoxicity. With L-26 as the lead compound, 58 isatin derivatives were prepared using click-chemistry-based miniaturized synthesis and their 3CL inhibitory activities were determined by a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based enzymatic assay.

We describe the design and synthesis of two isatin-tethered quinolines series (- and -), in connection with our research interest in developing novel isatin-bearing anti-tubercular candidates. In a previous study, a series of small molecules bearing a quinoline-3-carbohydrazone moiety was developed as anti-tubercular agents, and compound disclosed the highest potency with MIC value equal to 6.24 µg/mL.
