title: Amino acid derivatives. Part I. Synthesis, antiviral and antitumor evaluation of new alpha-amino acid esters bearing coumarin side chain.
abstract: A series of amino acid esters bearing coumarin (3-15) were synthesized and evaluated, in vitro, against HIV-1, and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The in vitro cytotoxicity of 3-10 and 12 was assayed against a panel of tumor cell lines consisting of CD4 human T-cells. Compound 14 showed inhibition of HIV-1 with EC50 > 1.6 microg mL(-1), meanwhile compound 9 exhibited activity against leukaemia (MT4) with CC50 = 24 micromol L(-1).
