Abstract
The focus of this study was to examine whether the conversion of cytotoxic conjugated unsaturated ketones (or enones) into the corresponding thiol adducts leads to a reduction or abolition of cytotoxic potencies. A number of enones and related thiol adducts were evaluated against human HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells. Some 63% of the IC50 values are less than 10 μM and several compounds are more toxic than 5-FU. The thiol adducts are either more potent or are equipotent with the corresponding enones. A number of compounds are far more toxic to HCT116 and HT29 neoplasms than non-malignant CRL1790 cells leading to impressive Selectivity Index figures. An additional positive feature of these compounds is that they have favorable ADME properties.
