A series of novel chromene 3-aldehyde and quinoline derivatives have been synthesized using diversely substituted nitroarenes in the presence of In, dil. HCl, H2O (reductive amination) and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity in three different cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-453, MCF-7, A549 and PC3). The synthetic strategy utilized to access these hybrids is operationally simple and works with great substrate scope. Interestingly, compound 6i was induced apoptosis to a significant extent in MDA-MB-453 cell lines. And these selected compounds 6i was led to morphological changes after treatment with MDA-MB-453 cell lines and found clear destabilization of mitochondrial membrane potential behind the observed anticancer activity. This strategy is operationally simple and works with a diverse range of substrates and warrants future investigations for further anticancer drug development.
