Description
Summary:In this work, new chitosan-based Schiff bases were synthesized by the reaction of chitosan with quinolinone and pyranoquinolinone giving CSQ , and CSP , respectively. The novel Chitosan Schiff bases were grafted on silver nanoparticles providing CSQ/Ag , CSP/Ag structures. Characterization of isolated compounds was carried out by FT-IR, TGA, XRD, SEM, and TEM. The target compounds CSQ , CSP , CSQ/Ag , and CSP/Ag were evaluated as antitumor agents against three cancer cell lines, liver (HepG-2), colon (HCT-116), and breast (MCF-7). Compound CSQ/Ag disclosed potent cytotoxic effect with IC 50 values in the range of 41.9–55.1 μg/ml in comparison with 5-fluorouracil against different cancer cell lines. Besides, the antioxidant activity of chitosan and its quinolinone and pyranoquinolinone analogues was assessed as radical scavengers versus 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals (DPPH%). The compound CSQ/Ag emerged as the most active member in scavenging the DPPH radicals. The obtained findings proved that the new Schiff bases/silver nanoparticles of chitosan showed higher antiproliferative and antioxidant activities than the blank CS and would be highly applicable in biomedical fields.
