Abstract

In search of more effective chemotherapeutics for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. The 1,3- thiazolidine-2,4-diones possess a wide diversity of important biochemical effects and interesting pharmacological properties. 1,9-diarylnona-1,3,6,8-tetraen-5-ones bearing two identical terminal heteroaromatic rings have been successfully synthesized through Wittig reaction followed by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. The cell proliferation assay was employed to assess their anti-proliferative effects toward both androgen-sensitive and androgen-insensitive human prostate cancer cell lines. curcumin in inhibiting prostate cancer cell proliferation. It can be concluded from our data that 1,9-diarylnona-1,3,6,8-tetraen-5-one can serve as a new potential scaffold for the development of anti-prostate cancer agents.
