Abstract:

Three aniline p-adamantanylcinnamides(8a~8c) were designed and synthesized from cross coupling of 1-bromoadamantane with toluene followed by oxidation, homologation and amidation. The inhibitory assays of these compounds against human hepatocellular carcinoma cell SMMC7721, breast cancer cell MCF-7, cervical cancer cell Hela and lung cancer cell A549 by MTS method showed that compound 8c exhibited good antitumor activity against human hepatoma cells(IC50=1.6 μmol/L or 0.73 mg/L) compared with doxorubicin(0.44 mg/L). This indicates that aniline p-adamantanylcinnamide is a good template for the development of anti-tumor drugs. The antitumor activity, cellular targets and the mode of action of aniline p-adamantanylcinnamide derivatives will be further studied.
