title: Synthesis of polyamides containing N-methylpyrrole and N-methylimidazole and their anticancer activity.
abstract: Three hairpin polyamides were designed and synthesized by a haloform reaction and DCC/HOBt coupling reaction without amino protection and deprotection. Their anticancer activity were investigated with three kinds of cell lines--hepatic carcinoma, lung carcinoma and gastric carcinoma, and the values of IC50 were at range of 10(-7) to approximately 10(-8) M.
