Synthesis and anticancer activity evaluation of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-3-{[5-(aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]methyl}-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-diones

A series of new substituted (E)-3-{5-(aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]methyl}-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzylidene) thiazolidine-2,4-diones have been synthesized. The products have been characterized by their IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral properties and evaluated for anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines: A549, A375, MCF-7, and HT-29.
