(E)-4[3'-(1-Adamantyl)-4'-hydroxyphenyl]-3-chlorocinnamic acid (3-Cl-AHPC) induces the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of cancer cells. Because its pharmacologic properties solubility, bioavailability, and toxicity required improvement for translation, structural modifications were made by introducing nitrogen atoms into the cinnamyl ring and replacing its E-double bond with XCH2 (X = O, N, and S) with the objective of enhancing these properties without impacting apoptosis-inducing activity. Analogues having nitrogen atoms in heterocyclic rings corresponding to the cinnamyl phenyl ring displayed equal or higher biological activities. The pyrimidine and pyridine analogues were more soluble in both phosphate-buffered saline and water. While the 2,5-disubstituted pyridine analogue was the most potent inducer of KG-1 acute myeloid leukemia cell apoptosis, on the basis of apoptotic activity in KG-1 cells and solubility, the 2,5-disubstituted pyrimidine proved to be the more promising candidate for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
