Abstract:Here we report the design, synthesis and evaluation of dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs)‐cinnamic acids hybrids as potential anti‐cancer compounds. The synthetic route was successfully performed and the products obtained in good to excellent yields. These compounds were tested against LNCaP and PC‐3 metastatic prostate cancer cells and RWPE‐1 prostate cells. The results indicate that hybridization was effective, since the hybrids were much more cytotoxic than DHPMs and cinnamic acids evaluated separately. Compound … Show more
“…26 The two most frequently utilized methods in medicinal chemistry in the design of novel molecules are bioisosterism and molecular hybridization. 27 The isosteric modication method is an efficient and oen used technique that many drug candidates employ to enhance their pharmacodynamic behavior. 28 It was of interest to further exploit the lead antimitotic agent, CA-4, with the possibility of producing effective drugs active against breast carcinoma cells.…”
