Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the anti-cancer activity of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 5-7 in the A375 and WM115 melanoma and HeLa cervical cancer cell lines. The viability of cancer cells was analyzed by the MTT assay. Apoptosis was quantified by flow cytometry following staining of the cells with AnnexinV/propidium iodide (PI). The cell cycle was evaluated by flow cytometry after staining of cells with PI. The three compounds inhibited the proliferation of all cells for half maximal inhibitory concentration ranging from 9.7 to 44.6 µM following 48-h treatment. In addition, all cancer cells were more sensitive to compound 6 compared with the other compounds. Treatment with compound 6 induced G
