Antimelanoma activities of chimeric thiazole–androstenone derivatives

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
The discovery of chimeric anti-melanoma agents is reported. These molecules are potent growth suppressors of melanoma cells in vitro with growth inhibition of 50% (GI50) values as low as 1.32 µM.
