Abstract

AbstractHeterocyclic compounds such as pyrrole and pyrrolidine derivatives have a broad spectrum of biological activity, being widely used as pharmacophore to design novel bioactive compounds. In this work, sixteen pyrrole and pyrrolidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their growth inhibitory activity on two human cancer cells lines: breast cancer MDA‐MB‐231 and chronic myelogenous leukemia (K562). Eight compounds showed activity against at least one tumor cell line (IC50=49.15–195.9 μM). The compounds were tested in non‐cancerous human lung fibroblasts WI‐26VA4 to evaluate their selectivity index. In addition, Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) studies were carried out in attempt to establish a structure‐activity relationship.
