Biological test against breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7) of acylated products of 3-methyl-4 thiorhodanine

Abstract

Rhodanine and its derivatives are not only valued for their interesting chemical properties but also present a wide range of bioactivities and their chemical and pharmacological applications have been investigated. From 3-methyl-4-thiorhodanine we synthesized S-acylated and C-acylated products using (some) carboxylic acid chlorides and the obtained products were studied the anti-proliferative activity by a SRB (sulforhodamine B) assay against a human breast cancer cell line. The results showed that C-acylated products are better inhibitors than S-acylated products
