Popis: The preparation of certain 2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)-N-substituted acetamides IIIa&ndash
h was planned as a step in the development of new modified nonsteroidal antiestrogens. The purity of target compounds IIIa&ndash
h was checked by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and their structures were confirmed using various spectroscopic tools including IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and MS spectroscopy. Viability tests were applied using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of the synthesized compounds against two breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Compound IIIb proved the most active against MCF-7 cells, with an IC50 value of 0.32 &mu
M. The results of an analysis of in vitro antiestrogenic activity indicated that only compound IIIb exhibited antiestrogenic activity
its IC50 value of 29.49 &mu
M was about twice as potent as that of the reference compound, MIBP. The aromatase activity was evaluated for the synthesized target compounds IIIa&ndash
g and the intermediates Ib and IIa. A significant aromatase inhibition was observed for the intermediate Ib and compound IIIe, with IC50 values of 14.5 and 17.4 &mu
M, respectively. Compound IIIb, namely 7-methoxy-4-(2-oxo-2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-2H-chromen-2-one, could be used as an antiestrogen and/or cytotoxic agent with selective activity against tumor cells.
