RESUMO
We report herein, the design, synthesis and study of anticancer properties of sulfenylated 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and their analogues. A set of twenty sulfenylated imidazo[1, 2-a]pyridine derivatives were synthesized. Whereby elusive amendments to the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine motif confer dramatic changes in functional affinity of a novel action to modulate anticancer activity in seven different human cancer cell lines i.e.: MDA MB 231 (breast), HepG2 (liver), Hela (cervical), A549 (lung), U87MG (glioblastoma), SKMEL-28 (skin melanoma) and DU-145 (prostate) by employing MTT assay. Among the series, compounds 4e (naphthalene), 4f (styrene) and 4h (thiomethyl) showed potent activity towards human liver cancer cells HepG2. Cell cycle analysis results revealed that these compounds arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase and induced apoptosis in human liver cancer cells HepG2. It was further confirmed by Hoechst staining, Measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and Annexin V-FITC assay.

A textile dye effluent containing chiefly reactive azo dyes has been treated electrochemically for discoloration and COD (chemical oxygen demand) reduction at different current densities, flow rates and dilution. Experiments have been carried out in a thin electrochemical reactor under single pass conditions using a dimensionally stable catalytic anode (DSA) and a stainless steel cathode.
