摘要:
Novel 2-aminoimidazolone derivatives were synthesized. Most compounds displayed strong anticancer activities against human carcinoma cells in vitro. Compounds 8a, 8b and 8j exhibited optimal activity superior to 5-FU in most cancer cells tested. Especially, the IC(50)s of 8b (12.6-21.5 mu mol/L) against five tumor cells were 1-4 fold less than those of 5-FU (18.4-56.1 mu mol/L) in vitro. Furthermore, compound 8b could induce SMMC-7721 cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, our novel findings may provide a new framework for the design of new 2-aminoimidazolone derivatives for the treatment of cancer. (C) 2013 Li-Qin He and Yong Ling.
