Objective: In this study, a series of novel 2,3-disubstituted quinazolines (4a-4l) were synthesized using standard procedures and elucidated through different spectroscopic techniques.
Methods: Obtained compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and ovarian cancer (SK-O-V3) cell lines using MTT assay. Docking studies with JAK2 protein were performed to elucidate the possible mechanistic insights into these novel quinazoline derivatives.
Results: Moderate-to-good in vitro cytotoxic potentials of the newly synthesized molecules were reported against selected human cancer cell lines. Among the tested molecules, compound 4e showed good cytotoxic activity against MD-AMB-231 (14.2 ± 0.86 μM) and against SK-O-V3 (17.7 ± 0.62 μM).
Conclusion: The in vitro studies of the newly synthesized quinazoline derivatives reported considerable cytotoxic potentials against both breast and ovarian cancer cell lines and SAR studies suggest that quinazoline derivatives with heterocyclic benzothiazole nucleus with hydrophilic acetamide linkage at the 3rd position could probably increase the cytotoxic potentials and the presence of chlorine substitution could add more benefit. With the reported bioactivities of these derivatives, further studies on the derivatization could elucidate the broader cytotoxic potentials.
