Poly(oxyethylene aminophosphonate)s synthesized on the basis of biodegradable poly(phosphorester)s and Schiff bases were tested in vitro for antitumor activity against a panel of six human epithelial cancer cell lines, for cytotoxicity to mouse fibroblast cells and in vivo for clastogenicity and antiproliferative effects. The polymers showed lower cytotoxicity, both in vivo and in vitro and low...

A series of novel coumarin-containing α-aminophosphonates were synthesized and evaluated for their antitumor activities against Human colorectal (HCT-116), human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (human KB) and human lung adenocarcinoma (MGC-803) cell lines in vitro. Compared with 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (4-MU), most of the derivatives showed an improved antitumor activity. Compound 8j (diethyl 1-(3-...

A novel series of ribonucleosides of 1,2,3-triazolylbenzyl-aminophosphonates was synthesized through the Kabachnik-Fields reaction using I2 as catalyst followed by copper-catalyzed cycloaddition of the azide-alkyne reaction (CuAAC). All structures of the newly prepared compounds were characterized by (1) H NMR, (13) C NMR, and HRMS spectra. The structures of 2e, 2f, 3d, and 3g were further conf...
