The title compounds were prepared in two steps and were obtained in good yields (55-93%). They have been fully characterized by <sup>1</sup>H, <sup>13</sup>C NMR, FTIR, UV-Visible and HRMS. They were tested for their antiproliferative activities against six representative human tumor cell lines (Huh 7-D12, Caco2, MDA-MB231, HCT 116, PC3 and NCI-H727) and HaCat keratinocytes. Among them, compound 5e was active on HCT 116 (IC<sub>50</sub> 15 μM).展开更多
