Isatin, 1H -indoline-2,3-dione, an endogenous compound, is also a synthetically versatile molecule that possesses a diversity of biological activities including anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, and cytotoxic properties. Based on the promising cytotoxic activity studies on N -substituted isatin derivatives, a series of 18 derivatives of 2-(2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H -indol-1-yl)-N -phenylacetamide were designed, synthesized, and characterized according to their analytical and spectral data. |
