Schiff bases were prepared from S-benzyldithiocarbazate with 5-fluro-, 5-chloro- and 5-bromoisatin. All are potential tridentate nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur donors. They were found to be selectively active against MCF-7 cell line (Human non-metastatic mammary gland adenocarcinoma cell line). The bro...
