The compounds were evaluated for in vitro antitumor activities, rhDHFR and antimicrobial activities. All the compounds exhibited antitumor activities, with ICs0 values in the range of 0.13--17.8 gmol/L against HL-60, HeLa and A549. Both the types of aryl groups and the orientation of polyphenyl aryl made an impact on the biological activities. 6-Naphthylethyl derivatives 5c and 5d were proved to be the most active Dt-IFR inhibitors, which were more potent than 6-phenylethyl, 6-thienylethyl and 6-biphenylethyl derivatives. Docking studies reveal that flexible saturated carbon-carbon bond of C9--C10 is essential for biological activities in molecular backbone. Antimicrobial test shows that most of the compounds exhibit antibacterial activities.展开更多
