Objective: To evaluate the cytotoxicity effect of Dimethoxy and Trimethoxy Indanonic Spiroisoxazolines against HepG2 cancerous liver cell line and to perform a comparison with other known anti-liver cancer drugs. Methods: The evaluation of cytotoxicity of dimethoxy and trimethoxy indanonic spiroisoxazoline compounds, Oxaliplatin, Doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil and Cisplatin against HepG2 (hepatocellular liver carcinoma) cell line has been performed using MTT assay and analyzed by GraphPad PRISM software (version 8.0.2). Results: Potent cytotoxicity effects against HepG2 cell line, comparable to Cisplatin (IC50= 0.047\textpm0.0045 M), Oxaliplatin (IC50= 0.0051M), Doxorubicin (IC50= 0.0014M) and 5- fluorouracil (IC50= 0.0089 M), were shown by both dimethoxy (IC50= 0.059\textpm0.012 M) and trimethoxy (IC50= 0.086\textpm0.019 M) indanonic spiroisoxazoline compounds. Conclusion: In vitro biological evaluations revealed that dimethoxy and trimethoxy indanonic spiroisoxazoline compounds are good candidates for the development of new anti-liver cancer agents.", }
