Abstract
Abstract A series of novel 4,6-dimorpholinyl-1,3,5-triazine derivatives 6a–6r were obtained through N -substitution and Claisen-Schmidt condensation. 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and mass spectrometry were used to characterize the molecular structures of the derivatives. The in vitro antiproliferation activity of derivatives was evaluated using the MTT assay against SW620 (human colon cancer cells), A549 (human nonsmall cell lung cancer cells), HeLa (human cervical cancer cells), and MCF-7 (human breast cancer cells). Compound 6o bearing a pyridyl group exhibited good cytotoxicity against four cancer cells, with IC 50 values of 8.71, 9.55, 15.67, and 21.77 μM, sequentially. In addition, compound 6a showed some selectivity against SW620.
