Abstract :The present study describes the biological features of disubstituted tacrine derivatives by using cell proliferation and cell cytotoxicity assays. The ability of compounds to inhibit microbial growth and to interact with DNA was also investigated. Here, tested compounds exhibit selective antiproliferative activity against the cancer cells insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IC 50 values 1.1 – 38.9 µg/mL); and show a similar non-toxic property to cells such as positive control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(percent cytotoxicity 7% - 27%);. Studies on human pathogenic bacteria have shown that the novel compounds exhibit a significant antimicrobial activity between concentrations of 31.25 μg/mL and 250 μg/mL. There is strong data showing that they can bind to DNA with the groove binding mode with a binding constant range of 7.4 x 10 ⁴ - 2.9 x 10 ⁴ Mˉ¹. As a result, the preliminary data show that disubstituted tacrine derivatives exhibit effective pharmacological properties.
