Abstract
Here we describe ring opening reaction of a novel halo triene derivative viz., (3S, 5aS)-8-
chloro-3a, 4, 5, 5a-tetrahydro-3, 5a, 9-trimethylnaphtho [1, 2-b] furan-2(3H)-one of α-
santonin upon nucleophillic attack with alcohols. Halo-triene was synthesized from α-
santonin upon reaction with vilsmeier reagent. The synthesised compounds from ring opening
reaction were evaluated for anticancer activity against a panel of four human cancer cell lines
(A-549, THP-1, HCT-15, and IMR-13). Most of the compounds exhibited promising
anticancer activity against all cancer cells in vitro; however compound. 3d with benzyl
substitution showed most potent anticancer activity with an IC50 value of 0.3 μM, 0.51 μM,
0.6 μM and 0.23 μM against A-549, THP-1, HCT- 116 and IMR-13 cell lines respectively.
