Abstract:
AIM: A series of styrylcoumarin derivatives had been designed in order to find compounds of antitumor activities by screening
in vitro. METHODS: Title compounds (I1~III6) were synthesized by phase-transfer Wittig reaction and screened by several antitumor models
in vitro. RESULTS: Thirty new compounds of 6- or 7-styrylcoumarin(I
1~III
6) were synthesized and their configurations were determined. Seven compounds(I

1a,III
2a and III
5a) showed different inhibitory effects on L-1210, HL-60, HCT-8, KB and Bel-7402 cell lines
in vitro. CONCLUSION: Some 6- or 7-styrylcoumarin derivatives showed antitumor activities and is worth further study.
