The anticancer activity of chalcone compounds against human prostate carcinoma cell and human colon colorectal adenocarcinoma

Abstract

The anticancer activities 3-(substituted phenyl)-1-[4-(morpholine-4-yl)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-one derivatives were investigated against PC3 (Human Prostate Carcinoma Cell) and HT29 (Human colon colorectal adenocarcinoma) cell lines. The anticancer activity tests were performed by the BrdU ELISA method. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) was used as standard compound. Compound 1-7 (except Compound 3) were determined to have higher anticancer activity than 5-FU aganist PC3 cancer cells. IC50 values of the Compounds 1-7 against PC3 cancer cells were 2.53±0.02 µM; 4.40±0.03 µM; 4.36±0.03 µM; 1.76±0.02 µM; 1.78±0.03 µM; 2.31±0.03 µM, respectively.
