Synthesis of Novel Isatin-Thiazoline and Isatin-Benzimidazole Conjugates as Anti-Breast Cancer Agents

A series of new isatin-thiazoline 3a-h and isatin-benzimidazole 4a-h derivatives were synthesized via condensation of isatin Mannich bases 2a-h with either 2-aminothiazoline or 2-aminobenzimidazole. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral data. The anti-breast cancer activity of some of the synthesized compounds was assessed in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. The results showed that compounds 4b, 4d and 4g possess significant antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells.
