Abstract

In this work, a series of novel benzofuran derivatives linked to dipiperazine moiety have been prepared, and in vitro Anticancer activity against Hela and A549 was investigated. The results demonstrated that benzofuran derivatives exerted potent antitumor effect. Especially, compounds 8c and 8d showed better antitumor activity against A549 (IC50 = 0.12 μM and 0.43 μM). Further mechanism study indicated that compound 8d could significantly induce cell Apoptosis in A549 by FACs analysis.
