    Abstract:
    This paper reports the synthesis of a new series of 3-(5-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazolylmethylene)-2-indolinones which were tested as potential antitumor agents at the National Cancer Institute. Two derivatives are now under review by BEC (Biological Evaluation Committee of NCI). To investigate the mechanism of action, the effect on cell cycle progression was studied by monitoring them in colon adenocarcinoma HT-29: both were able to block HT-29 in mitosis. 3-[(2,6-Dimethylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)methylene]-5-chloro-2-indolinone was the most active compound.
