Abstract

A series of novel substituted (Z)-5-((1-benzyl-1H-indol-3-yl) methylene) imidazolidin-2, 4- diones (3a–f) and (Z)-5-((1-benzyl-1H-indol-3-yl) methylene)-2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones (3g– o) have been synthesized utilizing microwave irradiation. These analogs were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines. Compound 3i exhibits potent growth inhibition against melanoma UACC-257 (GI50= 13.3 nM) and OVCAR-8 ...
