Abstract

A new series of amide derivatives of 4β-Acetamidobenzofuranone-podophyllotoxin hybrids (14a-g) were synthesized and their chemical structures were confirmed by 1H, 13C NMR and mass spectral data. Further, all the synthesized Acetamidobenzofuranone-podophyllotoxin hybrids were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against a panel of four human Cancer cell lines i.e., human breast (MCF-7, MDA MB-231), lung (A549), and prostrate (DU-145). Among benzofuranone-podophyllotoxin hybrid compounds, 14b and 14e were exhibited more potent activity than standard drug and 14c and 14f were showed Anticancer activity equivalent to etoposide.
