Abstract

A series of aromatic and aliphatic bis[aminomethylidene(bisphosphonic)] acids was synthesized in the reaction of triethylphosphite with isonitriles followed by hydrolysis or dealkylation. The in vitro anti-proliferative effect of all synthesized tetraphosphonic acids against MCF-7 breast Cancer cells, J774E macrophages and HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells was determined. Three aromatic derivatives (5a, 5f and 5j) showed a similar or higher anti-proliferative activity than zoledronic acid.
