Abstract

33 novel 4-substituted thienyl pyrrole compounds were synthesized via replacement, Vilsmeier-Hack, aldol condensation and Van Leusen pyrrole reaction using 2-methoxythiophen, 3-methoxythiophene, 3,4-dibromothiophene and substituted acetophenone as raw materials. The structures of all target compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS, meanwhile the cell proliferation inhibition efficacy was estimated against CHO, HCT-116, MGC80-3, SGC-7901 and HUVEC cell lines. The results revealed that some target compounds exhibited strong (IC50≤20 μmol/L) or moderate (20 μmol/L < IC50≤50 μmol/L) proliferation inhibition efficacy against tumor cells, meanwhile no significant inhibition activity on HUVEC, which indicated that these compounds had high selectivity. Herein, some compounds showed strong or moderate inhibition efficacy against MGC80-3. The IC50 values of [4-(3,4-dimethoxythiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl](4-phenylphenyl)-methanone (4a-2) and [4-(3,4-dimethoxythiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl](3-bromophenyl)methanone (4a-7), were 8.6 and 8.5 μmol/L against MGC80-3, respectively, and the IC50 value of 4a-7 was 20.0 μmol/L against HCT-116. Both compounds 4a-2 and 4a-7 exhibited moderate inhibition efficacy against SGC-7901.
