A series of 3-(trimethoxyphenyl)-2(3H)-thiazole thiones 5 were designed as new heterocyclic analogs of combretastatin A-4 (CA-4). Indeed, the olefinic core structure of CA-4 has been replaced by 2(3H)thiazole thione. The general synthetic strategy to prepare compounds 5 was based on the cyclocondensation reaction between triethylammonium N-(trimethoxyphenyl)dithiocarbamate and appropriate phenacyl halide. The cytotoxic activity evaluation of 3-(trimethoxyphenyl)-2(3H)-thiazole thiones 5 against human cancer cell lines T47D, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 demonstrated that 4-methyl analog 5f showed the highest activity against all cell lines. Compound 5f had no significant toxicity towards non-tumoral cells MRC-5 and its cytotoxicity was apparently selective for cancer cells. The results of bioassays showed that the representative compound 5f depolymerized tubulin, inhibited cell proliferation, and induced apoptosis in cancer cells. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.
