A series of novel sorafenib derivatives containing diaryl thiourea and thioether, 9a-u, was designed and synthesized, and their antiproliferative activities against HCT116 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines were also evaluated and described. Most compounds exhibited potent antiproliferative activity against HCT116 cells with IC50 = 1.8-80.4 mu M. Compounds 9p, 9r, and 9s demonstrated competitive antiproliferative activities to sorafenib, against all two cancer cell lines. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were determined by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, and HRMS, and compound 9n was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Primary structure-activity relationships (SAR) have also been established.
