Synthesis and bioevaluation of novel analogues of justicidin A
摘要:
Nine analogues of natural lignan justicidin A were easily synthesized employing Williamson etherification in yields of 76-84%. Compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell line using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. All synthesized analogues showed better antitumor activity than etoposide.
