The prokaryotic type II topoisomerases (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV) and the eukaryotic type II topoisomerases represent the cellular targets for quinolone antibacterial agents and a wide variety of anticancer drugs, respectively. In view of the mechanistic similarities and sequence homologies exhibited by the two enzymes, tentative efforts to selectively shift from an antibacterial to an antitumoral activity was made by synthesizing a series of functionalized N-(2-oxyiminoethyl)piperazinyl quinolones, in which the C-7 piperazine ring of antibacterial quinolones, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin, is attached by a certain N-[2-(furan-2-yl)-2-oxyiminoethyl] and N-[2-(thiophen-2-yl)-2-oxyiminoethyl] moieties. Thus, as part of a continuing search for potential anticancer drug candidates in the N-substituted piperazinyl quinolones series, the cytotoxicity evaluation of functionalized N-(2-oxyiminoethyl) piperazinyl quinolones was our interest.
