Abstract

The synthesis of N-{4-[a-(1-adamantyl)benzyl]phenyl}piperazines 2a-e is described. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of most compounds against main Cancer cell lines is significant. The σ(1), σ(2)-receptors and sodium channels binding affinity of compounds 2 were investigated. One of the most active analogs, 2a, had an interesting in vivo Anticancer profile against the BxPC-3 and Mia-Paca-2 pancreas Cancer cell lines with Caspase-3 activation, which was associated with an anagelsic activity against the neuropathic pain.
