Abstract
Coumarins and chalcones have been molecules of considerable interest amongst medicinal chemists owing to their vivid pharmacological potentials including anticancer. A few coumarin-chalcone conjugates (C1-C5) with good antioxidant potential were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against A549 cell lines using MTT assay. The IC50 of the conjugates was calculated after 24 h of treatment. The compounds C3 and C4 with higher mesomeric effects exhibited by the substituents were found to be possessing significant cytotoxic potential with IC50 values of 22.90 ± 2.1, 26.73 ± 6.6 µM respectively.
