摘要:
Several derivatives of (1S)-1,2-dihydro-1-naphthalenol ((S)-7) have been synthesized and evaluated against human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line PANC-1 under nutrient-rich and nutrient-deprived conditions. The tert-butyldiphenylsilyl protected homoallylic alcohol (S)-8 displayed cytotoxicity against PANC-1 cells with an LC50 value of 11 mu M in the absence of essential amino acids, glucose, and serum, while exhibiting no cytotoxicity under nutrient-rich conditions. The observed selective antitumor activity of (S)-8 under nutrient deprived conditions suggests its potential as a promising lead structure for the design of future anti-pancreatic cancer agents.
