ATD-4, that showed the highest binding affinity, was synthesized, characterized and screened for its cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines as well as normal cell line using 5-fluorouracil as a reference organic drug. Inducing apoptosis in lung carcinoma cell line was studied by various biochemical and morphological methods. Results indicate that ATD-4 exerted its cytotoxic activity against A549 cells through the induction of the intrinsic (mitochondrial) apoptotic pathway UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
