Abstract
A convenient and selective approach to 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid [N'-arylcarbothioamido]hydrazides and hybrid molecules containing secosteroid and 1,2,4-triazole fragments was disclosed and these novel types of secosteroids were screened for cytotoxicity against hormone-dependent human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Most of secosteroid-1,2,4-triazole hybrids showed significant cytotoxic effect comparable or superior to that of the reference drug cisplatin. Hit secosteroid-1,2,4-triazole hybrids 4b and 4h were characterized by high cytotoxicity and good selectivity towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells. PARP cleavage (marker of apoptosis) and ERα and cyclin D1 downregulation were discovered in MCF-7 cells treated with lead secosteroid-1,2,4-triazole hybrid 4b. The synthesized secosteroids may be considered as new promising anticancer agents.

Abstract
An elegant approach to unknown secosteroid-quinoline hybrids is disclosed. A series of 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid [N'-(iso)quinolylmethylene]hydrazides was prepared and these novel type of secosteroids was screened for antiproliferative activity against estrogen-responsive human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Most of the synthesized compounds showed a cytotoxic effect superior to that of reference drug cisplatin; the lead compound exhibits the highest activity with the IC50 value of about 0.8 μM and is 7 times more active than cisplatin. A high selectivity index was observed for the hit 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid [N'-quinolylmethylene]hydrazides 2a and 2c. Compounds 2a and 2c evaluated in luciferase reporter assays exhibited high antiestrogenic potency which was superior to that of tamoxifen. These hit compounds were characterized by high activity against MCF-7 cells that retained towards multidrug-resistant NCI/ADR-RES cells.

Abstract
A convenient and selective approach to 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid hydrazides and their N'-(het)arylmethylene derivatives was disclosed and these novel types of secosteroids were screened for cytotoxicity against hormone-dependent human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. A number of 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid [N'-(het)arylmethylene]hydrazides show significant cytotoxic effect comparable or superior to that for reference drug cisplatin. Compound 3l exhibits the highest activity with the IC50 value of about 2 μM and is 2.8 times more active than cisplatin. Hit 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid [N'-(het)arylmethylene]hydrazides 3d, 3l and 3q are characterized by high cytotoxicity and good selectivity towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The synthesized secosteroids may be considered as new promising antitumor agents.
