Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel compounds related to 1-arylnaphthalene lignans and isoquinolines

Chem Biodivers. 2005 Sep;2(9):1217-31. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.200590092.

Abstract

Novel compounds designed as hybrids of 1-arylnaphthalene lignans with isoquinoline alkaloids were prepared and evaluated for their cytotoxicities on human tumor cell lines, such as A549, Hela, PC-3, CNE, BEL-7404, and KB. Some of the synthetic compounds exhibited their IC50 values on selected cell lines at 10(-6) M scale. The preliminary CoMFA molecular-modelling studies of these synthetic analogues were also performed.
