The latter compound undergoes a series of heterocyclization reactions to give new heterocyclic compounds. The antitumor evaluation of the newly synthesized products against three cancer cell lines, namely breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), non-small cell lung cancer (NCI-H460) and CNS cancer (SF-268) was performed. Most of the synthesized compounds showed high inhibitory effects. � 2010 by the authors.English3-acetylpyridineAntitumor activityCoumarinHydrazide-hydrazoneThiopheneantineoplastic agentazidecoumarincoumarin derivativehydrazone derivativepyridinepyridine derivativethiazole derivativethiophene derivativearticlecell divisionchemistrydrug effectdrug screeninghumannuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopytumor cell lineAntineoplastic AgentsAzidesCell DivisionCell Line, TumorCoumarinsDrug Screening Assays, AntitumorHumansHydrazonesMagnetic Resonance SpectroscopyPyridinesThiazolesThiophenesNovel synthesis of hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives and their utilization in the synthesis of coumarin, pyridine, thiazole and thiophene derivatives with antitumor activityArticlehttps://doi.org/10.3390/molecules16010016PubMed ID 21187814
