INTRODUCTION
According to a report in February 2021, in the past 10 years, the FDA has approved nearly 400 drugs, with cancer drugs leading the way (25%), followed by drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases (15%) and neurological disorders (11%) [1]. According to statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), every year there are about 10.1 million new cases of cancer worldwide and about 6.7 million people die from cancer, of which the death rate from cancer accounts for 12% of all causes of death in humans [2]. The above figures show that cancer treatment is still a top concern for humanity. However, many patients still have to stop treatment due to side effects of current cancer drugs. 33% of breast cancer patients treated with palbociclib combined with letrozole were forced to stop treatment and 40-45% of patients were forced to reduce the dose due to side effects of the drug such as nausea, hair loss, joint pain, osteoporosis, weakness, fatigue, etc. [3]. Therefore, finding new anti-cancer drugs that are more effective and have fewer side effects is a top concern today.
Heterocyclic compounds always occupy an important position in pharmaceutical synthesis research. Among them, benzimidazole and indole are among the most widely used compounds because they have many biological activities such as anti-cancer [4, 5], anti-helminthic [6], anti-fungal [7], anti-bacterial [8], anti-viral [9], neurotransmitter [10]... In addition, in some anti-cancer drugs currently circulating on the market, there is still the presence of benzimidazole and indole frameworks in the structure such as nocodazole, abemaciclib, selumetinib and bendamustine, vincristine and vinblastine. However, like other cancer drugs, they also have many side effects such as constipation, headache, some blood sugar problems, hair loss [10]... Therefore, the search for new anti-cancer agents based on the framework of benzimidazole and indole with better cancer cell inhibitory activity and fewer side effects is still being continued. On that scientific basis, the topic: " Synthesis and evaluation of cytotoxic activity of benzimidazole and indole derivatives " contributes to the scientific basis for research and search for new anti-cancer agents.
