title: Synthesis and evaluation of heteroaromatic 6,7-diaryl-2,3,8,8a-tetrahydroindolizin-5(1H)-ones for cytotoxicity against the HCT-116 colon cancer cell line.
abstract: A heteroaromatic 6,7-diaryl-2,3,8,8a-tetrahydroindolizin-5(1H)-one analog library was prepared and tested for cytotoxic properties against the HCT-116 colon cancer cell line, thus providing additional information pertaining to structure-activity relationships for this class of compounds. The most active of the new analogs proved to be the C6 2-thiophene and 3-thiophene analogs with IC(50) values of 0.27 microM and 0.60 microM, respectively.
