Both tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) and oxindoles (OXs) display a broad range of biological activities including anti-cancer activity, and are therefore recognized as two privileged scaffolds in drug discovery. In the present study, 24 3',4'-dihydro-2'H-spiro[indoline-3,1'-isoquinolin]-2-ones, designed as molecular hybrids of THIQ and OX, were synthesized and screened <i>in vitro</i> against 59 cell lines in the NCI-60 screen. Twenty compounds displayed weak to moderate inhibition of cell proli ...[more]
