Abstract
Cytotoxicities of several new aminophosphonic compounds bearing 2-furyl moiety 2b-d and 3a-c on KYSE 30, 150, and 270 esophageal cancer cell lines are reported here. The qualitative study on correlations between the structure and cytotoxic activity of furan-deriving aminophosphonates has been performed.Dimethyl (2-furyl)-N-(2-methoxyphenyl)aminomethylphosphonate (2a), which has been previously shown to have the interesting values of cytotoxicity on these esophageal cancer cell lines was tested and found to induce apoptosis. The analyses of correlations between apoptosis, necrosis, and viability were also performed.
