ABSTRACT

We report the synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, molecular docking and biological evaluation of nine pyrazino-imidazolinone derivatives. These derivatives were evaluated for their anticancer activity against three cancer cell lines: 518A2 melanoma, HCT-116, and HCT-116 p53 knockout mutant colon carcinoma. The MTT assay was employed to assess their effectiveness. Among the nine compounds tested, four compounds (5 a, 5 d, 5 g, and 5 h) exhibited promising antiproliferative activity specifically against HCT-116 p53-negative cells (IC50 0.23, 0.20, 2.07 and 58.75 µM, respectively). Interestingly, treatment with the 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl derivative 5a resulted in a significant increase (199 %) in caspase activity in HCT-116 p53-negative cells compared to untreated cells while the bromo-pyrazine derivative 5d demonstrated (190 %) increase. These findings suggest that compounds 5a and 5 d induce p53-independent apoptotic cell death. Additionally, in silico molecular docking studies with EGFR and tyrosinase proteins indicated that compounds 5 d and 5 e have the potential to bind to important anticancer drug targets.
