A series of 3-aryl-2-propenoates including cinnamates, (E)-methyl/ethyl 3-[2-(1,4-dimethoxy-5,8-dione)naphthalenyl]-2-propenoates (8ba, 8bb) and (E)-methyl/ethyl 3-[2-(1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-dione)anthracenyl]-2-propenoates (9aa,9ab) was synthesized and evaluated for antitumor cytotoxicity. It was found that the ortho- or para-dihydroxy funtionality on the aryl ring was essential for the cytotoxicity of
一系列3-芳基-2-
丙烯酸酯,包括
肉桂酸酯,(E)-甲基/乙基3- [2-(2-(1,4-二甲氧基-5,8-二酮)
萘] -2-
丙烯酸酯(8ba,8bb)和合成(E)3- [2-(1,4-二羟基-9,10-二酮)
蒽基] -2-
丙烯酸(9aa,9ab)-甲基/乙基(9aa,9ab),并评估其抗肿瘤细胞毒性。发现芳基环上的邻或对二羟基官能对于
肉桂酸酯的细胞毒性至关重要。化合物8ba,8bb和9aa,9ab对多种肿瘤
细胞系显示出强力的细胞毒性。
