Abstract
The cytotoxic activities of five new benzopyranone derivatives containing basic amino side chain are described. Their cytotoxicities against ER(+) MCF-7 and ER(–) MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines, and Ishikawa human endometrial cell line were determined after 72 h drug exposure employing CellTiter-Glo assay at concentrations ranging from 0.01–1.0 × 105 nM. The antiproliferative activities of these compounds were compared to tamoxifen (TAM), 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT, active metabolite of tamoxifen), and raloxifene (RAL). In-vitro results indicated that compounds 9, 10, 12, and 13 were more potent than TAM against the human breast cancer cell lines with IC50 < 20 µM. The in-silico structure–activity relationships of these compounds and their binding mode within the estrogen receptor (ER) binding site using AutoDock vina are discussed.
