title: Synthesis and in vitro cytotoxicity of long chain 2-amino alcohols and 1,2-diamines.
abstract: The synthesis of enantiomerically pure unsaturated long chain 1,2-diamines and amino alcohols was carried out starting from the corresponding non-natural alpha-amino acids. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the compounds prepared was evaluated against six solid tumor cell lines (A2780, H322, LL, WiDr, C26-10 and UMSCC-22B). Free 1, 2-diamines proved to be the most active compounds exhibiting IC50 values between 2.0 mM and 3.3 mM.
