[ 1 ] - Synthesis and In Vitro Cytotoxic Activity of Novel Chalcone-Like Agents

  Objective(s): Chalcones and their rigid analogues represent an important class of small molecules having anticancer activities. Therefore, in this study the synthesis and cytotoxic activity of new 3-benzylidenchroman-4-ones were described as rigid chalcone analogues.   Materials and Methods: The reaction of resorcinol with 3-chloropropionic acid in the presence of CF3SO3H was a...

[ 2 ] - 2-Amino-4-(nitroalkyl)-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles as New Cytotoxic Agents

A series of 2-amino-4-(nitroalkyl)-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles were synthesized by an efficient multicomponent reaction in aqueous media using DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) as a catalyst at room temperature. Mild condition, environment friendly procedure and excellent yields are the main advantages of this procedure. The cytotoxic activity of target compounds were evaluated against t...
