title: Antiproliferative activity of 2-alkyl-4-halopiperidines and 2-alkyl-4-halo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines in solid tumor cell lines.
abstract: A series of trans-2-alkyl-4-halopiperidines and 2-alkyl-4-halo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines were prepared by means of an iron(III) catalyzed process. The in vitro antiproliferative activities were examined in the human solid tumor cell lines A2780 (ovarian cancer), SW1573 (non-small cell lung cancer), and WiDr (colon cancer). The results on the biological activity revealed that, in general, the 2-alkyl-4-halo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine analogs are more potent than the trans-2-alkyl-4-halopiperidine derivatives. A remarkable selectivity of the aza compound 5f for the resistant cell line WiDr was observed. Cell cycle studies revealed a G(2)/M phase arrest for 5f.
