摘要

Cancer remains a major global health challenge characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation. Despite the availability of various chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin and sorafenib, the development of more effective and selective anticancer compounds is still required. In this study, a series of oxindole-based derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer potential. The synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro cytotoxic activity, and several derivatives demonstrated promising results. Notably, compounds DH2 (IC₅₀ = 8.52 ± 2.35 µM), DH4 (6.42 ± 1.75 µM), DH5 (8.68 ± 3.15 µM), DH11 (6.42 ± 1.36 µM), DH13 (8.63 ± 1.45 µM), DH14 (7.73 ± 2.13 µM), DH20 (6.15 ± 1.35 µM), and DH21 (5.52 ± 1.12 µM) exhibited significant activity, comparable to the reference drug cisplatin (IC₅₀ = 5.65 ± 1.15 µM). Molecular docking studies were conducted to investigate the interaction of these compounds with target enzymes, revealing favorable binding affinities and key interactions responsible for their inhibitory activity. Structural characterization of all synthesized oxindole derivatives was confirmed using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HREI-MS. Overall, the findings suggest that oxindole-based scaffolds represent a promising class of compounds for the development of novel anticancer agents.
