Abstract:
Based on biological properties of epoxyquinols from natural sources, bromo and epoxyquinols derived from estrone were synthesized and screened against Fem-X, HeLa and K(562) cell lines. Evidence was found that the bromine atom and the epoxy moiety significantly increase the antiproliferative activity within the series.
