A series of new spirooxindole-derived morpholine-fused-1,2,3-triazole derivatives has been synthesized from isatin spiro-epoxides. The protocol involves regiospecific isatin-epoxide ring opening with azide nucleophile followed by sequential O-propargylation, and intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. These compounds have been evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against selected human tumor cell lines of lung (A549), breast (MCF-7), cervical (HeLa), and prostate (DU-145). Among the tested compounds, 6i, 6n and 6p showed potent growth inhibition against A549 cell line with IC50 values in the range of 1.87-4.36 μM, which are comparable to reference standards doxorubicin and 5-flourouracil. The compounds 6i and 6p treated A549 cells displayed typical apoptotic morphological features such as cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, fragmentation, and decreased migration potential. Flow-cytometry analysis revealed that the compounds arrested the cells in G2/M phase of cell cycle. Hoechst and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining studies also showed that the cell proliferation was inhibited through induction of apoptosis. Moreover, the compounds treatment led to collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were noted in A549 cells.
