摘要:
Small molecules based upon natural product dimers that exhibit cytotoxic activity were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity in human breast cancer cell lines. A central isophthalic core structure linking aromatic amines containing 3,5-disubstitutions produced the most active compounds. This series of compounds was found to be more active against the estrogen receptor positive cell line MCF-7 than the estrogen receptor negative cell line, SKBr3. (C)2007 Elsevier Ltd.
