Synthesis and anticancer evaluation of 2-oxo-2-(arylamino) ethyl 4-phenylpiperazine-1-carbodithioates

Pak J Pharm Sci. 2021 Jan;34(1(Supplementary)):353-357.

Abstract

Piperazine moiety is found as an efficient pharmacological scaffold in various drugs. To explore the anticancer potential of piperazine framework, a series of novel N-acetamides derivatives of phenyl piperazine containing di-thio-carbamate moiety was designed and synthesized. 1HNMR, 13CNMR, FT-IR and mass spectrometry were used for the structures elucidation of these derivatives. In-vitro cytotoxic evaluation of the prepared novel compounds against lung carcinoma A-549 was carried out using standard MTT assay. All the di-thio-carbamate-piperazine derivatives exhibited moderate to excellent cytotoxic potential against A-549 cell line based on cell viability. Particularly, 6e was found to be the most potent derivative with cell viability 34.12±0.73 % at 100 μg/mL concentration and represents promising lead compound for future progress.
