摘要

4-Amino-2H-benzo[h] chromen-2-one (ABO) and 4-amino-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[h] chromen-2-one (ATBO) analogs were found to be significant in vitro anticancer agents in our previous research. Our continuing study has now discovered a new simplified (monocyclic rather than tricyclic) class of cytotoxic agents, 4-amino-2H-pyran-2-one (APO) analogs. By incorporating various substituents on the pyranone ring, we have established preliminary structure-activity relationships (SAR). Analogs 19, 20, 23, and 26-30 displayed significant tumor cell growth inhibitory activity in vitro. The most active compound 27 exhibited ED(50) values of 0.059-0.090 mu M.
