Description
Summary:In this work, a series of curcumin derivatives have been synthesized using Claisen Schmidt condensation reaction & Schotten-Baumann reaction, and they were screened through in-silico and in-vitro analysis to determine their capacity as a potential agent against breast cancer. Molecular docking reveals that the compounds are in good fit in the active site region of the target protein. Anti-cancer activity reveals that compounds are highly active against the MCF-7 cell lines, even at low concentration. Among the synthesized compounds, a set of five (Group B) exhibits a nontoxic effect against normal cell lines even at high concentration, whereas the other set of six compounds (Group A) display a toxic effect. The drug likeliness and pharmacokinetic properties reveal that the compounds can be lead drug materials against breast cancer.
