A new class of pyrazolylmethylene-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one derivatives 3a–p were rationally designed and synthesized with the aim of exploring their potential as treatments for prostate cancer. The synthesized compounds 3a–p were biologically analyzed for their anticancer effects against AR+LNCaP, AR-PC-3, and Wi38 cell lines. The observed IC50 values against AR+LNCaP ranged between 10.27 ± 0.14 and 109.72 ± 2.06 µM after 24 h of incubation. Compounds 3i–k, 3m, and 3o–p recorded IC50 values of 05.22 ± 0.12 to 11.75 ± 0.07 µM after 48 h incubation in the presence of 1 nM DHT, with higher selectivity towards AR+LNCaP. Moreover, compounds 3i and 3k significantly induced Caspase 3 accumulation, reduced DNA content at the various stages of the cell cycle, and ultimately caused AR+LNCaP cell growth arrest, as confirmed by cell apoptosis assays. These findings suggest that these analogues of androgen receptor blockers have promising potential for further investigation as effective treatments for prostate cancer. |
