The Antiproliferative Activity and Molecular Docking Studies of Some Sulfonamides against Cancer Cell Lines Compared to Normal Cells

Some new and known substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridines incorporated at their position nine with various sulfa drug or thiosemicarbazide moieties were synthesized. Biologically, these compounds were investigated for their antiproliferative activity against human breast cancer (MCF-7) cell line compared to murine fibroblast normal cell line (BALB/3T3). The results were calculated as the IC50 (inhibitory concentration 50%) compared with Cisplatin as control. Furthermore, a docking simulation study was carried out to predict the inhibitory mode of action of the most active compounds.
