Aim: The indandione nucleus, is one of the most amazing nuclei in medicinal chemistry, is used to design new derivatives. Methods & materials: Novel indandione derivatives are prepared with different electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents to yield 3, 4, 8, 11, 14, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23. Compounds 8, 11, 16, 20 and 23 are investigated against OVCAR-3 and HeLa, using LLC-MK2 and cis-Pt as references. in silico and spectral studies were analyzed for the selected compounds. Results: Compounds 20 and 23 at 100 ns were the most potent compounds, so molecular dynamics studies were performed. Conclusion: Compound 23 was the most active toward the HeLa cervical cell line, and compound 20 was the most active toward the Ovcar-3 cell line.
