Abstract

Two series of curcumin analogues, a total of twenty-four compounds, were synthesized and evaluated. The most potent compound, compound 23, showed potent growth inhibitory activities on both prostate and breast cancer lines with IC50 values in sub-micromolar range, fifty times more potent than curcumin. Curcumin analogues might be potential anti-tumor agents for breast and prostate cancers.
