Abstract

A series of novel nitrogen mustard-linked chalcones 3a3r were synthesized by linking the N,N-bis(2- chloroethyl)amine pharmacophore of nitrogen mustards to the chalcone’s framework. Their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, IR, ESI-HRMS and X-ray techniques. The antitumor activities of the nitrogen mustard-linked chalcones were evaluated against K562 and HepG2 cell lines by an MTT assay. The results reveal that some of the title compounds exhibit potent anti-proliferative activities against selected tumor cells. Among which, compounds 3j against K562 and HepG2 with IC50 values of 20.01 and 43.46 μmol/L, and 3l against K562 and HepG2 with IC50 values of 18.6 and 21.39 μmol/L, respectively. Suitable crystals of 3e and 3l were obtained, and the X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that compounds 3b and 3e are both belong to triclinic, space group P-1.
