Abstract

In an effort to develop effective antiamoebic agents, some hydrazones and azoles containing pyridyl moiety were synthesized and screened for in vitro antiamoebic activity against HM1:IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica. Among all the compounds, only five compounds (1, 3, 5, 9 and 11) were found to be better inhibitors of growth of E. histolytica than the reference drug metronidazole. The cytotoxic studies of these compounds on human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line revealed that all the compounds were low-cytotoxic in the concentration range of 2.5-250 μM.
