Our earlier research has shown that N-phenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues had much higher anticancer activity than the lead compound sodium dichloroacetate (DCA). In this current study, a variety of N-arylphenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues were synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction and their anti-cancer activity was evaluated. The results showed that N-terphenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues had satisfactory anti-cancer activity. Among them, N-(3,5-bis(benzo[d][1,3] dioxol-5-yl)phenyl)-2,2-dichloroacetamide (6 k) had an IC50 of 2.40 mu M against KB-3-1 cells, 1.04 mu M against H460 cells and 1.73 mu M against A549 cells.
