New cytotoxic cross-conjugated cyclopentenediones from 4,5-dichlorocyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione
摘要
2-Arylmethylidene-4,5-dichlorocyclopent-4-ene-1,3-diones were synthesized by aldol condensation of 4,5-dichlorocyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione with 3,5-di-tert-butyl- and 3,5-diisopropyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehydes. The substitution of chlorine atoms at the C5 atoms of the obtained compounds with some N-, O-, and C-nucleophiles was studied. The synthesized compounds showed high and moderate cytotoxicity against studied tumor cell lines (Hek293, HCT-116, MSF7, HepG2, Jurkat) in in vitro experiments.
