Abstract | ||||
A series of Nα-phthaloyl bridged cyclic pentapeptide derivatives were synthesized and characterized on the basis of spectral and elemental analyses. A preliminary cytotoxicity evaluation of all novel compounds was carried out against four human cancer cell lines, human lung (A-549), colon (CaCo-2), prostate (PC-3) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cells at 100 μM concentration using MTT growth inhibition assay. Compound 3 gave the highest cytotoxic activity towards the human colon (CaCo-2) cancer cell line (Growth Inhibition = 72.4 %). Further molecular docking of the promising derivative 3 was developed to study its binding mode within the active site of EGFR enzyme. The docking results suggest good fitting through different hydrogen bond interactions with the protein residues to elicit anticancer activity | ||||
