Synthesis, computational study and cytotoxicity of 4-hydroxycoumarin-derived imines/enamines

In this study, we applied a direct condensation between 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one and different amines (anilines and benzyl amines) in order to synthesize some coumarin-based imines/enamines (3a-o) as cytotoxic agents. All the compounds were characterized by means of FT-IR, NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Since the title compounds can exist as different forms including (s-cis)-imine and (s-trans)-imine or (E and Z)-enamines, their conformational and geometrical aspects were investigated computationally by DFT method. The optimized geometry parameters, ΔE, ΔG, ΔH, Mulliken atomic charge, HOMO and LUMO energy, and NBO analysis suggested that these compounds can exist predominantly in (E)-enamine form. All the synthesized compounds (3a-o) were evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activities against cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and A549) and normal cell line (BEAS-2B) using the MTT assay. The 4-hydroxybenzyl derivative 3k was found to be the most potent cytotoxic agent with no selectivity, similar to doxorubicin. However, the 4-chlorobenzyl analog 3o could be considered as an equipotent compound respect to doxorubicin with higher selectivity.
