Synthesis and Cytotoxic Activity of N,N′-(Arylmethylene)bisamides
摘要:
N,N'-(Arylmethylene) bisamides were prepared by an acidcatalyzed reaction of arylaldehydes with cinnamamide or acrylamides. The reaction was carried out in refluxing toluene for a few hours, and simple collection of the precipitate gave the desired products. The bisamides were designed as cytotoxic molecules based on the structure of the potently cytotoxic marine natural product (-)-zampanolide. The activities of the bisamides against two cancer cell lines were evaluated, and several compounds were found to show medium potency with IC50 values in the lower micromolar level.
