Abstract
- With the expectation of finding new and effective antitumor drugs, a series of novel N‐(1H‐benzo[d]imidazole‐2‐yl)‐benzamide/benzenesulfonamide derivatives of dehydroabietic acid were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against three human cancer cell lines (MCF‐7, HeLa, and HepG2 cells) and one human normal hepatocyte cell line (LO2). As a result, a number of derivatives showed moderate to good antitumor activities. Among them, compound 8h exhibited the most potent activities against three cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 0.87 ± 0.18, 9.39 ± 0.72, and 8.31 ± 0.64 μM, respectively, and was less active to normal hepatocyte LO2 cells. Further mechanism studies revealed that compound 8h could arrest the cell cycle of MCF‐7 cells at S phase and induce the apoptosis of MCF‐7 cells in ROS‐mediated mitochondrial pathway.
