Synthesis, in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of 6,7-diaryl-2,3,8,8a-tetrahydroindolizin-5(1H)-ones
摘要:
A 6.7-diaryl-2,3.8.8a-tetrahydroindolizin-5(1H)-one library was constructed and tested against the colon cancer cell line HCT-116 as an initial screen for cytotoxic properties. Of this library, the parent compound, in which the southern aromatic ring remains unsubstituted, and the northern aromatic ring carries a 4-methoxy group, exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity with an IC50 value of 0.39 mu M and displayed promising activity in vivo in the NCI's mouse hollow fiber assay.(c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
