Abstract
Objective and Method: A new series of benzothiazole-piperazine derivatives was synthesized and a complete chemical characterization of the novel compounds was provided. In vitro cytotoxic activities were screened against colorectal (HCT-116), breast (MCF-7) and hepatocellular (Huh7) cancer cell lines by Sulforhodamine B assay.
Result and Discussion: All compounds showed cytotoxic activity against hepatocellular (Huh7) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines. Dihalo substituted benzylpiperazine derivatives (2a, 2e) had the highest cytotoxic activities in all the tested cell lines. In addition, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitory activities of synthesized compounds were investigated by in vitro Ellman's method. Compound 2j led to moderate and selective inhibition against AChE. Docking study was utilized to understand the binding mode of compound 2j in comparision with donepezil on AChE. The other tested compounds showed weak or no inhibition against AChE as promising anticancer agents.
Keywords: Acetylcholinesterase, benzothiazole, cytotoxicity, docking, Ellman's method, piperazine, Sulforhodamine B.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
