IC50 6.74 μM against MDA-MB-A231
Potency Both compounds 1 and 2 exhibited potent cytotoxicity against rat EAC (Ehrlich ascites carcinoma) and MDA-MB-A231 (human breast cancer) cells with IC50 values of 0.52 and 6.74 microM for 1, and 0.19 and 10.21 microM for 2, suggesting their potential for further investigation as anti-cancer agents.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-A231
