Antitumour properties of fluorinated benzothiazole-substituted hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-dienones (‘quinols’)
摘要:
The synthesis and in vitro antitumour evaluation of a new series of fluorinated benzothiazole-substituted 4-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-dienones ('quinols') is described. The new compounds were found to be of comparable activity compared to the nonfluorinated precursor PMX 464, in terms of antiproliferative activity in sensitive human cancer cell lines (nanomolar GI(50) values) and inhibitory activity against the thioredoxin signalling system.
