Abstract

Two series of coumarins possessing the aniline- and heterocyclic ring at 4th position have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cancer cell line in MTT assay. Structure activity relationship (SAR) studies reveal that the electron donor group at position-8 of coumarin played an important role in cytotoxic activity. Compound VIId showed the potent cytotoxic activity followed by compound Xa with IC50 = 6.25 and 6.50 μM, respectively. A docking study has also been carried out for the most potent compound to get an insight into molecular interactions with p50 subunit of NF-κB protein.
