Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activities of Diversely Substituted Glycosyl-isoindigo Derivatives

In the course of structure-activity relationship studies, diversely substituted 1-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-isoindigo derivatives were prepared from commercially available indolines. Their antiproliferative activities were evaluated toward a panel of human solid cancer cell lines (PC 3, DLD-1, MCF-7, M4Beu, A549, PA 1), a murine cell line (L929) and a human fibroblast primary culture to get an insight into the substitution pattern required for the best biological potencies.
