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.
