SELENOPHENOCHROMONES SELECTIVELY INHIBIT HUMAN LUNG CARCINOMA CELLS GROWTH

Abstract
Synthetic procedures for the preparation of selenophenochromones by treating ethynyl chromones with selenium halides were elaborated.
Methyl 3-bromo-2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)-9-oxo-9H-selenopheno[2,3-f]chromene-7-carboxylate exhibits high selective in vitro cytotoxic
activity against human lung carcinoma cells A549 and H69 up to 1.2 μM.
