Abstract
In order to study on structure-activity relationships of benzofurans. Benzofuran is a kind of natural compound widely existing in nature with pharmacological effects. The development of new anticancer benzofuran derivatives has attracted more and more attention. We have introduced an active quinazoline unit into piperazine-substituted benzofuran, prepared a series of quinazoline-benzofuran compounds, and evaluated cytotoxic activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines by MTT assay. 48 novel quinazoline-substituted benzofuran derivatives have been prepared, and in vitro, cytotoxic activity against five human tumor cell lines was evaluated. The results indicated that some quinazoline-benzofuran conjugates showed selective inhibitory activity against tumor cell lines. We have found that compound 14x displayed excellent cytotoxic activity, which could be considered a potential anticancer agent.
