Synthesis and Anticancer Evaluations of Novel Thiazole Derivatives Derived from 4-Phenylthiazol-2-amine
Abstract:
Many novel thiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized using 4-phenylthiazol-2-amine. The reactivity of the latter compound toward different chemical reagents was studied. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was established based on elemental analysis and spectral data. Furthermore, twenty compounds of the synthesized systems were selected and evaluated in (µM) as significant anticancer agents towards three human cancer cell lines [MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer), and SF-268 (CNS cancer)] and normal fibroblasts human cell line (WI-38). The results showed that compounds 9 and 14a displayed higher effeciency than the reference doxorubicin.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
