Synthesis, biological evaluation, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and ADME studies of novel carbazole-aniline hybrids as cytotoxic agents.
This study reports the design and synthesis of seven carbazole-aniline hybrids and evaluates their cytotoxicity in breast (MCF-7) and colon (SW480) cancer cell lines. Compound 5e was identified as the most potent in vitro candidate and was supported by docking and molecular dynamics results suggesting binding to EGFR. In silico ADME predictions indicated favorable drug-like properties across the series.
Key points
- Seven carbazole-aniline hybrids (5a5g) were synthesized and tested as potential anticancer agents.
- Compound 5e showed the strongest reported cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and SW480 cell lines in the abstract.
- Structureactivity observations in the abstract suggest electron-donating substituents increased cytotoxicity while electron-withdrawing groups reduced it.
- Molecular docking suggested 5e binds in the EGFR active site with reported hydrogen bonds to Asp831 and Thr766.
- Molecular dynamics simulations were described as supporting stability of the 5eEGFR complex.
- In silico ADME predictions were reported as consistent with Lipinskis Rule of Five for all compounds.
