Abstract
In search of novel anticancer agents, two series of dimethyl [1,1′‐biphenyl]‐2,2′‐dicarboxylate derivatives, 8a–8k and 9a–9k, containing both methylenedioxy and 1,3,4‐thiadiazole moieties were designed and synthesized. Cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated in vitro against five human tumor cell lines, i.e., HepG2, KB, A549, K562, and MCF‐7. The results indicated that 8h, 8j, 8k, 9d, 9g, 9h, 9j, and 9k showed notable anticancer activities comparable to or stronger than that of 5‐fluorouracil, a canonical anticancer drug. Structure–activity relationships were also discussed based on the experimental data obtained.
