A series of substituted (Z)-5-(N-benzylindol-3-ylmethylene)imidazolidine-2,4-dione ( 3) analogs structurally related to aplysinopsin, and that incorporate a variety of substituents in both the indole and N-benzyl moieties have been synthesized under microwave irradiation and conventional heating methods These analogs were evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity against MCF-7 and MDA-231 breast cancer cell lines, and A549 and H460 lung cancer cell lines. Two analogs, 3f and 3j had IC50 values of 4.4 and 5.2 mu M, respectively, compared to 5-fluorouracil (IC50 = 15.2 mu M) against MCF-7 cells. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
