Synthesis and biological activity of amino acid derivatives of avarone and its model compound [PDF]
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2015 A series of eighteen derivatives of marine sesquiterpene quinone avarone and its model system tert-butylquinone with amino acids has been synthesized by nucleophilic addition of amino acids to the quinones. In vitro cytotoxic activity toward human cancer cell lines (HeLa, A549, Fem-X, K562, MDA-MB-453) and normal MRC-5 cell line was determined. Several
