able to inhibit the NF-κB transcriptional activity in HCT-116 cell line and inhibited HCT-116 cell proliferation in vitro with IC50 in micromolar range, thus suggesting a potentialanticancer activity. Taken together, our study described the identification of new derivatives with dual STAT3/NF-κB inhibitory activity, which may represent hit compounds for developing multi-target anticanceragents.
