Abstract

The efficacy of drugs against cancer in clinical settings may be limited due to pharmacokinetic issues, side effects and the emergence of drug resistance. However, a class of anticancer drugs known as naphthalimides have proven to be very effective. These derivatives have demonstrated to be effective in treating different types of cancers and exhibit strong DNA binding affinity. The anticancer properties of the naphthalimide derivatives allow them to target a number of cancer cell lines. Researchers have investigated the anticancer activity of numerous naphthalimide derivatives, such as heterocyclic fused, non-fused substituted, metal-substituted and carboxamide derivatives. Surprisingly, some derivatives demonstrate greater activity than the reference norms, such as cisplatin, amonafide, mitonafide and others and are selective against many cell lines. The primary objective of this research is to comprehend the effects of various substitution patterns on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these derivatives and the instances in which they enhance or reduce this biological activity.

Keywords: Anticancer, apoptosis, naphthalimide, 1, 8 naphthalimide derivatives, structure activity relationship (SAR), synthesis.
