Abstract

New securinine analogues have been prepared by semisynthesis. Two series were developed using either Suzuki or Sonogashira cross coupling reactions. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the compounds was assayed against HCT-116 colon cancer cells. The most potent derivatives showed promising growth inhibition on four tumoral cell lines giving a valuable insight on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of securinine. Moreover, high antiproliferative effect against A-375 (melanoma) was observed with IC50 up to 60 nM.
