Synthesis of new coumarin 3-(N-aryl) sulfonamides and their anticancer activity

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Aug 2;14(15):4093-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.05.016.

Abstract

Synthesis of coumarin 3-(N-aryl) sulfonamides was accomplished either by Knoevenagel condensation of anilinosulfonylacetic acids with suitable salicylaldehydes or by the reaction of methyl anilinosulfonylacetates with substituted salicylaldehydes in presence of a catalytic amount of a base. All the compounds tested for antiproliferative activity in different cancer cell lines have shown GI(50) values less than 100 microM.
