In order to decrease toxicities of retinoids, enhance their physiological activities against cancer cells and increase absorbency in the organisms, eight novel 13-cis-retinoyl ferrocene derivatives were synthesized in yields higher than 80% through Mitsunobu reactions. Their structures were characterized and their cytotoxic activities were determined in vitro by an 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay using human cancer lines including A549 cells lines etc. Results showed that the 13-cis-retinoyl ferrocene derivatives modified by ferrocene groups exhibited excellent cytotoxic activities against cancer cells.

Key words: cytotoxic activity, ferrocene derivative, Mitsunobu reaction, 13-cis-retinoic acid
