摘要
The synthesis of a series of 2-arylbenzoxazole compounds possessing a cytotoxic activity as potential anticancer agents was achieved. Oxidative coupling of benzaldehyde with o-aminophenol utilizing lead tetraacelate approach was used to realize the synthesis of compounds 1-11. The cytotoxicity of 1-11 was screened against breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and human colon cancer cell line HCT-116 utilizing doxorubicin as a reference drug. Among these compounds, 2-(3-benzyloxyphenyl)benzoxazole-5-acetic acid (5) and 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzoxazol-5-acetic acid (10), were found to be promising cytotoxic compounds against the MCF-7 cell line. In addition, this study showed that the presence of an acetic acid group at position 5 of the benzoxazole nucleus enhances the activity. Moreover, we noticed that the presence of an oxygen atom directly linked to the phenyl substituent improves activity as well. These results offer a new benzoxazole based template to design and develop novel antineoplastic agents.
