Abstract:
A series of new dithiocarbamates containing a 2(5H)-furanone-piperazine group was synthesized. These compounds show good in vitro cytoxic activity. Among them, compound 6c exhibits the best inhibitory activity against HeLa cell lines with an IC50 of 0.06 ± 0.01 μM for 72 h, and it has good inhibitory activity against SMMC-7721 cell lines with an IC50 of 0.006 ± 0.04 μM for 72 h, but the toxicity was lower against LO2 cell lines with an IC50 of 45.76 ± 0.01 μM. The result showed that compound 6c is far more cytoxic towards cancer cell lines than towards benign cell lines compared with cytosine arabinoside (ARA) in vitro.

01:15Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
