Abstract:
To discover the novel compounds with biological activity,
N-hetercycle substituted derivatives were synthesized based on the structure of benzofuran. A series of novel
N-hetercycle substituted benzofuran derivatives(
2a -
2j )were synthesized by the reaction of 2-(4′-florobenzoyl)benzofuran with
N-heterocyclic compounds. And the structures were characterized by
1H NMR,
13C NMR and HRMS. Their anti-tumor activities were studied in vitro against a panel of human tumor cell lines(HeLa, A549 and H1975)by the MTT assay. The results indicate that compounds
2a ,
2f and
2j are the most potent within this series of compounds against human tumor cell lines, showing that they are promising lead compounds for further structural modifications and biological evaluation.
