A series of halogenated flavanones were synthesized from 2-hydroxychalcones and tested for their cytotoxicity against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, 3′,7-dichloroflavanone (2d) showed the highest activity against MCF-7, LNCaP, PC3, Hep-G2, KB and SK-N-MC cells. However, 3′,6-dichloroflavanone (2g) with IC50 value of 2.9 ± 0.9 μM was the most potent compound against MDA-MB-231 cells, being approximately 12 times more active than etoposide as reference drug. According to the flow-cytometric analysis, compound 2g can induce apoptosis by 66.19 and 21.37% in PC3 and MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. The results of acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining and TUNEL assay suggested that the cytotoxic activity of this compound in PC3 and MDA-MB-231 cells occurs via apoptosis.
