Abstract

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone analogues and their evaluation as Anticancer agents is described. SAR identified a spirocyclic analogue 19 that inhibited TNFα-induced NF-κB activity, Cancer cell growth and tumor growth in an ovarian Cancer model. A second iteration of synthesis and screening identified 29 which inhibited Cancer cell growth with low-μM potency. Our data suggest that an isatin-derived spirocyclic α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone is a suitable core for optimization to identify novel Anticancer agents.
