Abstract

Cytotoxicity in the \(\upmu \hbox {M}\) range was observed in cancer cell lines treated with N,N,\(N^{\prime }\!,\!N^{\prime }\)-tetrabenzyl-4,5-diamino-2-cyclopentenone. Cell cycle analysis on HeLa cells showed a clear G1 phase arrest. A preliminary SAR on structural analogs was performed in order to identify the pharmacophores.

Keywords
