Abstract

Haloenol pyran-2-ones and morpholin-2-ones were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of cell growth in two different prostate human Cancer cell lines (PC-3 and LNCaP). Analogs derived from L- and D-phenylglycine were found to be the most effective antagonists of LNCaP and PC-3 cell growth. Additional studies reveal that the inhibitors induced G2/M arrest and the (S)-enantiomer of the phenylglycine-based derivatives was a more potent inhibitor of cytosolic iPLA(2)β.
