N⁴-Phenyl-substituted 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazones: cytotoxicity against human tumor cells, structure-activity relationship studies and investigation on the mechanism of action.
N(4)-Phenyl 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (H2Ac4Ph; N-(phenyl)-2-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide) and its N(4)-ortho-, -meta- and -para-fluorophenyl (H2Ac4oFPh, H2Ac4mFPh, H2Ac4pFPh), N(4)-ortho-, -meta- and -para-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4oClPh, H2Ac4mClPh, H2Ac4pClPh), N(4)-ortho-, -meta- and -para-iodophenyl (H2Ac4oIPh, H2Ac4mIPh, H2Ac4pIPh) and N(4)-ortho-, -meta- and -para-nitrophenyl (H2Ac4oNO(2)Ph, H2Ac4mNO(2)Ph, H2Ac4pNO(2)Ph) derivatives were assayed for their cytotoxicity against human malignant breast (MCF-7) and glioma (T98G and U87) cells. The compounds were highly cytotoxic against the three cell lineages (IC(50): MCF-7, 52-0.16 nM; T98G, 140-1.0 nM; U87, 160-1.4 nM). All tested thiosemicarbazones were more cytotoxic than etoposide and did not present any haemolytic activity at up to 10(-5)M. The compounds were able to induce programmed cell death. H2Ac4pClPh partially inhibited tubulin assembly at high concentrations and induced cellular microtubule disorganization.

2-Acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazones: cytotoxic activity in nanomolar doses against malignant gliomas.
2-acetylpyridine N(4)-phenyl thiosemicarbazone (H2Ac4Ph), and its N(4)-ortho-tolyl (H2Ac4oT), N(4)-meta-tolyl (H2Ac4mT), N(4)-para-tolyl (H2Ac4pT), N(4)-ortho-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4oClPh), N(4)-meta-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4mClPh) and N(4)-para-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4pClPh) derivatives were assayed for their cytotoxicity against RT2 (expressing p53 protein) and against T98 (expressing mutant p53 protein) glioma cells. The compounds were highly cytotoxic against RT2 (IC50=24-1.4 nM) and T98 cells (IC50=50-1.0 nM). IC50 for cisplatin=5 (RT2) and 17 μM (T98). The thiosemicarbazones presented haemolytic activity with IC50>10(-3)M, indicating a very good therapeutic index. SAR studies suggested that stereo properties are critical to define the potential activity of the studied compounds against the RT2 cell line, while electronic properties seem to be important for interaction with the biological target in T98 cells.
