Abstract

A number of Mannich bases were synthesized by a reaction between 6-(4-chlorocinnamoyl)-2(3H)-benzoxazolone, formaldehyde and secondary amines. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and 1H-NMR spectra. The tested compounds exhibited concentration-dependent cytotoxic effects at low micromolar concentrations with IC50 values ranging between 1.4 and 30.9 μM.

Keywords: Chalcone, 2(3H)-Benzoxazolone, Mannich base, Cytotoxicity
