A new series of diverse triazoles linked through the hydroxyl group of lactone ring opened osthol (1) were synthesized using click chemistry approach. All the derivatives were subjected to 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-yl)-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide (MU) cytotoxicity screening against a panel of seven different human cancer cell lines viz. colon (colo-205), colon (HCT-116), breast (T47D), lung (NCI-H322), lung (A549), prostate (PC-3) and Skin (A-431) to check their cytotoxic potential. Interestingly, among the tested molecules, most of the analogs displayed better cytotoxic activity than the parent osthol (1). Of the synthesized triazoles, compounds 8 showed the best activity with IC50 of 13, 4.9, 3.6, 41.0, 35.2, 26.4 and 72 mu M against colon (Colo-205 and HCT-116), breast (T47D), lung (NCI-H322 and A549), prostate (PC-3) and Skin (A-431) cancer lines respectively. Compound 8 induced potent apoptotic effects in Colo-205 cells. The population of apoptotic cells increased from 11.4% in case of negative control to 24.1% at 25 mu M of 8. Compound 8 also induced a remarkable decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (Lambda psi m) leading to apoptosis of cancer cells used. The present study resulted in identification of broad spectrum cytotoxic activity of analogs bearing electron withdrawing substituents, besides the enhanced selective activity of analogs with electron donating moieties.
