A series of 4α/4β-imidazolyl podophyllotoxin analogues have been designed and synthesized. All of the compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against a panel of three human cancer cell lines. Within the cell lines tested, some of the synthesized compounds showed promising anticancer activity. Compound 12, in particular, exhibited remarkable cytotoxicity, demonstrating effects against all tumor cell lines, including the K562/ADM cell line.
In title compound, C16H17FN2O2, the cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation.. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.503 (5) Å] and intermolecular C—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and N—H⋯F hydrogen-bond interactions.
In the title compound, C16H20N2O3, the crystal packing is stabilized by weak π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.577 (9) and 3.693 (9) Å] and intermolecular C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bond interactions. The C atoms of the N-isopropyl group are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.61(3) and 0.39(3).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
