    Microwave-accelerated synthesis and anticancer activity of novel imine/amide-imidazole conjugates derived from 5-amino-4-cyano-N1-substituted benzyl imidazole against a panel of seven cancer cell lines are reported for the first time. Compounds ARK-4, 10 and 12 in the series show promising in vitro anti proliferative activity with low micromolar IC 50 values against A-459 (lung), Hep-G2 (liver) and H-460 (liver) cancer cell lines. Compounds caused the increase in ROS levels as well as mitochondrial membrane depolarization, which might induce apoptosis. Further, mechanistic interventions on biological and molecular modeling data supported that compounds inhibited topoisomerase-II selectively.- 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
