(Z)-styryl benzylsulfones of formula I are useful as anticancer agents:
wherein
R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chloro and nitro;
R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, chloro, bromo, iodo and fluoro; and
R3 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, nitro, chloro, bromo, iodo and fluoro;
provided that at least one of R1 or R2 is hydrogen.
The corresponding (Z)-styryl benzylsulfides are useful as intermediates in the preparation of the biologically active (Z)-styryl benzyl sulfones.
式I的(Z)-苯乙烯基苯基磺酮是作为抗癌剂有用的化合物,其中:R1选自氢、氯和硝基的群体;R2选自氢、较低的烷基、较低的烷氧基、氯、溴、碘和氟的群体;R3和R4独立地选自氢、较低的烷基、硝基、氯、溴、碘和氟的群体;但要求至少R1和R2中的一个是氢。相应的(Z)-苯乙烯基苯基硫醚是制备具有生物活性的(Z)-苯乙烯基苯基磺酮的中间体。
