We report here the synthesis of aromatic coumarins and aromatic alpha-quinolones which were evaluated in vitro for their protective potentialities against tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative damage on human liver cell death, i.e., human hepatoma HepG2 cell line and human hepatocytes in primary culture. We found that the presence of a benzylidene at the 3-position or a heterocycle with N and S heteroatoms on the benzopyrone or quinolone system was essential for the protective effect of these compounds against t-BHP-induced decrease in viability of cells. We found also that a methoxy group on the aromatic ring systems decreased this potential. t-BHP-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultures of human hepatocytes could be therefore prevented by these compounds suggesting that they could display hepatoprotective effects in humans.
