Abstract

Fluorinated isoflavanones and bifunctionalized isoflavanones were synthesized through a one-step gold(I)-catalyzed annulation reaction. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory activities against aromatase in a fluorescence-based enzymatic assay. Selected compounds were tested for their anti-proliferative effects on human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Compounds 6-methoxy-3-(pyridin-3-yl)chroman-4-one (3c) and 6-fluoro-3-(pyridin-3-yl)chroman-4-one (3e) were identified as the most potent aromatase inhibitors with IC₅₀ values of 2.5 μM and 0.8 μM. Therefore, these compounds have great potential for the development of pharmaceutical agents against breast cancer.
