RESUMO
The bioactivity of 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives with a 2,5-bis (2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) phenyl moiety was computationally developed and evaluated. All of the synthesized thiazolidin-4-one derivatives have their chemical structures characterized using a variety of methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (1H and 13C), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) radiation. A human glioblastoma cancer cell line (LN229) was used to investigate the purified derivatives' antiglioma cancer efficacy. By using the MTT, colony formation, and tunnel tests, respectively, the in vitro cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of these compounds were assessed. Thiazolidin-4-one derivatives 5b, 5c, and 5e were discovered to have the best efficacy against glioblastoma cells out of all of these compounds. The derivatives 5b, 5c, and 5e were determined to have respective IC50 values of 9.48, 12.16, and 6.43 g/mL. Computation results showed that the bioactivity evaluations of the compounds were quite significant. The bridging -NH group forms a hydrogen bond with Glu 260 of synthesized derivatives 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, and 5h. The vast majority of freshly developed compounds obeyed Lipinski's rule of five, which is in line with the results that the ADMET model predicted. Additionally, molecular docking evaluation and molecular dynamics simulation investigations against the proteins AURKA and VEGFR-2 were conducted for the synthesized compounds to incorporate both in silico and in vitro data. The findings revealed that almost all of the compounds had considerable binding to AURKA and VEGFR-2 residues, with binding affinities ranging from -9.8 to -7.9 kcal/mol. Consequently, the results of the biological investigations and the docking scores demonstrated that thiazolidinone molecule 5e containing 4-chlorophenyl substituent may be considered as a potential moiety for glioblastoma cancer treatments.
