Synthesis and Biological Activities of 1‐Azaaurone Derivatives |
| |
Abstract: | A series of 1‐azaaurone derivatives were designed and synthesized from 3,5‐dimethoxyaniline and 2‐chloroacetonitrile. Their structures were characterized by melting point, 1H NMR, IR, and elemental analysis, as well as 13C NMR. The target compounds were evaluated for antitumor activities against human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line (HepG‐2) and human cervix carcinoma cell line (Hela) using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method. The results revealed that several 1‐azaaurones exhibited strong proliferation inhibition efficacy against HepG‐2 and Hela with an IC50 range of 5.6–8.8 μg/mL without damaging normal cell. |
