ABSTRACT
A series of novel phenothiazine-containing imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives were designed and synthesized under metal-free conditions in excellent yield. These derivatives were effectively transformed further into N-alkyl, sulfoxide, and sulfone derivatives. Derivatives were deployed against human microtubule affinity regulating kinase (MARK4), some molecules play crucial roles in cell-cycle progression such as G1/S transition and regulator of microtubule dynamics. Hence, molecules have shown excellent MARK4 inhibitory potential. Molecules with excellent IC50 values were selected for further studies such as ligand interactions using fluorescence quenching experiments for the binding constant. The highest binding constant was calculated as K = 0.79 × 105 and K = 0.1 × 107 for compounds 6a and 6h, respectively. Molecular docking, cell cytotoxicity, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species measurement and oxidative DNA damage were also studied to understand the mechanism of action of the molecules on cancer cells. It was found that the designed and synthesized compounds played anti-cancer roles by binding and inhibiting MARK4 protein.
