Abstract
As epoxy functional group has high anticancer activity, α,β-epoxyketones were designed and synthesized as new anticancer agents, and their structures were confirmed by UV, 1H NMR, IR, MS technigeces and elemental analysis. Their in vitro anticancer activities were evaluated by MTT method and the results showed that the compound 4c exhibited good activity with IC50 of 17.8, 22.0 and 24.1 µg/mL against A-549, Hela and HepG2 cells, respectively. The dose of LD50 of the mice by intragastric administration was 1864.4 mg/kg. Therefore, the α,β-epoxyketones could potentially provide as new anticancer agents.
