摘要

A series of 3-substituedmethylenethiochroman-4-ones was designed and synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, MS, IR, UV and elemental analysis. The results of their anticancer activity studies show that almost all 3-chloromethylenethiochroman-4-ones exhibit high anticancer activities and their activities are all better than reference cisplatin. Their IC(50) against cancer cells is in a range of 0.80-9.17 mu g/mL. Thus they could be promising candidates for anticancer drugs. However, compound 5 has no activity against cancer cells, thus chloromethylene at the 3 position of thiochroman-4-ones seems to play an important role in observed anticancer activities.
