Synthesis and Evaluation of Biological Activities of Schiff Base Derivatives of 4-Aminoantipyrine and Cinnamaldehydes

Schiff bases have been important compounds ever since their discovery and are both found in nature and synthesized in the laboratory. They participate in a variety of synthetic processes and possess desirable biological activity, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticance...

description Schiff bases have been important compounds ever since their discovery and are both found in nature and synthesized in the laboratory. They participate in a variety of synthetic processes and possess desirable biological activity, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activity, among others. In this study, eight Schiff bases derived from the reaction of 4-aminoantipyrine with various cinnamaldehydes have been synthesized and characterized. All derivatives were tested in vitro on several human carcinoma cell lines to determine their antitumor activity and against different bacteria strains of clinical and food industry importance to evaluate their antibacterial activity. Several of the Schiff bases evaluated inhibited tumor cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. The compound that exhibited the most activity against all cell lines had IC<sub>50</sub> values of less than 18 μM. On the other hand, during the evaluation of the antibacterial activity, only two Schiff base derivatives showed interesting antibacterial effects, with MIC values under 250 μM. These two Schiff base derivatives mainly exhibited a bacteriostatic effect against most of the studied bacterial strains. It is interesting to note that the same Schiff base presents the best activity in both biological evaluations.
