Synthesis and biological evaluation of glycosides containing triazene-chalcones

By combining triazenes with chalcones, we designed and synthesized 12 novel glycosides. The antiproliferative activity of all products was screened using an MTT assay against MGC803 cells and PC-3 cells. Compound [Formula: see text] displayed more potent antiproliferative activity than dacarbazine. Furthermore, we explored the preliminary structure activity relationship of all target compounds. The derivatives in this work might serve as bioactive fragments and lead compounds for developing more potent cytotoxic agents.
