Abstract:
Twenty-one novel fluorine-containing 2, 5-diketopiperazine derivatives(
2a -
2u )were synthesized by using
N, N-diacetyl-2, 5-diketopiperazine, allylbromide, 2-fluorobenzaldehyde and other aromatic aldehydes. The structures were characterized by
1H NMR,
13C NMR, and HRMS. The cytotoxicities were evaluated against ten human tumour cell lines(K562, U937, MOLT-4, HL60, HeLa, DU145, MCF-7, A549, SGC-7901, H1975)by using CCK8 assay. Results showed that compounds
2a ,
2d ,
2e ,
2f ,
2g ,
2h ,
2k , and
2t showed significant cytotoxicity against U937(IC
50=0. 2 μmol/L), HeLa(IC
50=0. 5 μmol/L), and DU145(IC
50=0. 7 μmol/L), respectively. Compound
2t could become a lead compound for further development for anticancer agents.
