Abstract

In this study, we have presented the synthesis of novel 2,5,7-triarylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-8-carbonitriles from 2-amino-4,6-diarlypyridine-3-carbonitrile and nitrostyrene using FeCl3 (20 mol%) as Lewis acid under solvent-free conditions. A library of compounds with diverse substitutions have also been synthesized and screened for in-vitro anti-cancer activity against various cell lines such as A549 (Lung), HCT-116 (Colon), SW-620 (Colon), and MIAPACA (Pancreas).
