The dialkyl derivative 16 was produced upon the treatment of 2 with two equivalents of ethyl iodide. Boiling 16 with hydrazine afforded the hydrazino 17. The reaction of 17 with nitrous acid, carbon disulfide, ethyl cyanoacetate, ethyl acetoacetae, and phenacyl bromide gave 18–22, respectively. Some of the newly obtained compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Detection was performed at the light absorption maximums of compounds I (320 nm), II (305 nm), III (310 nm), IV (260 nm), V (254 nm), and VI (245 nm).

Electrochemical behavior of HL¹, 2, and 3 was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and it was observed that ligand-centered electro-activity exhibits a proportionate change on complexation. The UV–visible spectroscopic and viscometric data indicate electrostatic and groove binding of the complexes with DNA. The binding constant and Gibb’s free energy values indicate the feasibility of the complex–DNA interaction and show potent biological activity of the complexes.

On the other hand, 2a and 3b evinced interesting activity over C. albicans, whereas 2a, 3b and 3e displayed promising activity over A. fumigatus. Antiquorum-sensing effectiveness of the new members over C. violaceum was also assessed, where compounds 2a and 3b exhibited higher activity than that of the reference compound, indole. In vitro antiproliferative assessment toward HepG2, HCT-116 and MCF-7 cancer cells evidenced that 2f has notable effectiveness on all examined cell lines, whereas 3a–c were active but to a lower extent. In vivo antitumor activity of 2f and 3a–c against EAC cells was also esteemed, where 2f and 3c showed considerable activity comparable to that of doxorubicin. Cytotoxicity screening over WI38 and WISH normal cells evinced that 2f and 3a–c are less cytotoxic than doxorubicin. Compounds 2a, 2f, 3a–c and 3e were evaluated for DNA-binding affinity and topoisomerase IIβ inhibitory activity. Analogs 2a, 2f, 3a and 3b illustrated strong DNA-binding affinity, whereas 2a, 2f and 3a exhibited interesting topoisomerase IIβ inhibitory activity.
