A series of novel 1,3-selenazole-containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives bearing Schiff base moieties were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against human breast cancer cell MCF-7 and mouse lymphocyte leukemia cell L1210 by CCK-8 assay. The majority of the compounds showed better activity against MCF-7 cell, compared with lead compound PCS. In particular, compound 6c was the most potent compound with IC50 value of 4.02 μM.
Keywords: 1,3,4-Thiadiazole derivatives; 1,3-Selenazole; Antitumor agents; Schiff base.
