Abstract:

m-Carborane-containing compound 1a was identified as a cell growth inhibitor from a random screening of a boron compound library. As 1a is a mixture of diastereomers due to the presence of two chiral carbons, we designed achiral derivatives 2-4 and studied the structure-activity relationships of the methoxy groups on the benzene ring. 3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzyl derivative 2a and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl derivative 3a showed more potent anti-cancer activity against the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-453 than lead compound 1a. Compound 3a inhibited tubulin polymerization in a dose-dependent manner.
