Synthesis of New 6-[4-(2-Fluorophenylpiperazine-1-YL)]-3(2H)-Pyridazinone-2-Acethyl-2- (Substitutedbenzal)Hydrazone Derivatives and Evulation of Their Cytotoxic Effects in Liver and Colon Cancer Cell Lines

Abstract

In this study, seven new 3(2H)-pyridazinone derivatives expected to show cytotoxic activity in liver and colon cancer cell lines were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by the IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR spectra and elementary analyses. Compunds V₁-V₇ were tested on HEP3B (liver cancer) and HTC116 (colon cancer) cell lines for cytotoxicity by using MTS [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)- 2H-tetrazolium] proliferation assay. Human fibroblast cells were used as safety control in these tests. 6-[4-(2-Fluorophenyl)piperazine-1-yl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone-2-acetyl-2-(2-chlorobenzal)hydrazone (compound V₃ ) was the most active agent with respect to HEP3B and HTC116 cell lines.
