Abstract

This study aimed to design, synthesize, and evaluate the cytotoxic activity of novel thiazole-sulfanilamide derivatives, specifically compounds M3, M4, and M5, through molecular docking and biological assays. The synthesis utilized essential chemical compounds, including sulfanilamide, chloro-acetyl chloride, thiourea, derivatives of benzaldehyde, and silver nitrate. The docking study was carried out using Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) software, and cytotoxic activity was predicted by MTT assay. The synthesized compounds demonstrated a reduction in the viability of cancer cells. Compound M5 had an IC50 of 18.53 µg/ml against MCF-7 cells, comparable to the IC50 of cisplatin. Additionally, compounds M3 and M4 had higher S scores than acetazolamide, indicating greater binding affinity to the active pocket of the receptor. Incorporating the thiazole ring in the synthesized compound augmented their flexibility and affinity for binding to the receptor. The inclusion of the metal complex additionally heightened the compounds’ capacity to impede cellular growth.
