Abstract:
:Series of 2-arylbenzofuran-1,2,3-selenodiazole hybrids were prepared via multiple reactions and then evaluated in vitro through enzymatic assay for inhibitory effect against α-glucosidase and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activities including antioxidant activity. The presence of 1,2,3-selenodiazole moiety resulted in increased inhibitory effect for compounds 4a-f against α-glucosidase and COX-2 activities, and increased free radical scavenging activity. 6-Acetoxy-2-phenyl-5-(1,2,3-selenadiazol-4-yl)benzofuran (4a) and its 2-(4-methoxyphenyl) substituted derivative (4f) were, in turn, screened for antiproliferation against the breast MCF-7 cancer cell line and for cytotoxicity on the human embryonic kidney derived Hek293-T cells. A cell-based antioxidant activity assay involving lipopolysaccharide induced reactive oxygen species production in these cells was performed. Molecular docking has also been performed on these two compounds to predict protein-ligand interactions against α-glucosidase and COX-2.
