Abstract

A series of novel benzyl 5-(substitutedphenyl)-3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbodithioate were obtained. The anti-cancer activity of synthesised compounds against lung cancer (A-549) and breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231) was investigated by MTT assay. The most of the synthesised compounds were effective against both cancer cell lines and demonstrated significant cytotoxicity. Molecular docking investigation of the synthesised compounds and the cyclin dependent kinase-2 (CDK2) protein revealed that the synthesised compounds displayed greater C-score values, validating the findings.
