Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Coumarin Derivatives as Potent TGF-β1 Inhibitors
摘要
In the current work, we carried out the synthesis and evaluation of coumarin derivatives 4a–f (R= hydrogen, fluoro, bromo, methoxy, trifluoromethyl) against their TGF-β1 inhibitory activity. EIA kits were used to detect the in vitro inhibitory activity of human TGF-β1 for 4a–f following the manufacturer’s instructions. Among them, compound 4f exhibited the strongest activity with an IC50 value of 6.43 μM, making its potency comparable to the positive control, coumarin (IC50 = 7.81 μM).
