Abstract

Cancer is the deadliest disease after cardiovascular diseases and is expected to increase by nearly twice in number by the end of the year 2050. It is rapidly progressing and a majority of the well-known anticancer drugs are in the path of getting resistant. In our previous study, we had rationally designed a hybrid molecule which comprised of murrayanine (carbazole moiety), chalcone, and tert-butyl group, and predicted that that hybridization will lead to enhanced synergistic anti-oxidant activity. The free-radical scavenging screening by DPPH assay was found to be absolutely correct and the chalcone demonstrated nearly analogous scavenging of the reactive species with that of ascorbic acid. Likewise, due to a close association of freeradical species and cancer, the fabricated prop-2-ene-1-one compound having marvelous anti-oxidant activity was screened for anti-proliferative activity against breast cancer MCF-7 cell line using SRB assay and was expected to produce better results than the individual components. The anti-cancer SRB assay of the hybrid compound demonstrated a remarkable anti-proliferative activity with an IC50 value of 19.67 ?M. The present research will surely motivate the researchers in further developing better chalcone based anti-cancer drugs along with inspiration towards the pharmaceutical product development.
