Abstract
Aims: Oncology treatments aim at selective toxicity for tumor (compared to normal) cells, and chromone- coumarin hybrids have shown such activity.
Methods: In this study, we test a novel series of synthetic chromone and coumarin derivatives (1–9) for cytotoxic activity against a panel of tumor cell lines (MCF-7, A549, HepG2, HTC-116, B16 and Caco-2) opposed to non-tumor cells (HEK-293t). Electrical impedance spectroscopy was used to monitor cell viability in real time.
Results: Compound 8 showed the most potent activity, and it significantly diminished cancer cell proliferation and viability in different cell lines. It induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, as shown by Western blot and flow cytometry.
Conclusion: Electrical impedance spectroscopy appears to be a convenient tool for in vitro cytotoxicity analysis, which could be useful for identifying drug effects and side effects during early phases of drug discovery and development.
Keywords: Coumarin, chromone, impedance, cell sine, anticancer, cytotoxicity.

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
